MS NOW Pushes Claim Few Illegals Arrested in Chicago Were Criminals
20th November 2025
Both on Sunday’s Velshi show and on Tuesday’s Morning Joe on MS NOW, the claim was repeated that only 16 illegal aliens arrested in Chicago out of over 600 were dangerous criminals even though more than 1,100 who were already deported were not covered in that calculation.
On his eponymous Sunday morning show, Ali Velshi compared liberal activists defending illegal aliens from deportation to the Civil Rights Movement as he spoke with frequent guests — Fordham University’s Christina Greer and New York City comptroller Brad Lander.
