It argues that Moore was rapidly hired without thorough vetting due to the current management&#8217;s efforts to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iowa-republicans-reintroduce-sarahs-law-as-gop-zeroes-in-on-border-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Iowa Republicans reintroduce Sarah&#039;s Law as GOP zeroes in on ... - Washington Examiner\">strengthen immigration enforcement<\/a>, which the author views as a response to voter demand to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-to-nominate-texas-sheriff-to-lead-ice\/\" title=\"Biden to Nominate Texas Sheriff to Lead ICE\">curb illegal immigration<\/a>. The piece criticizes progressives and the mainstream media for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >criticizing previous administration policies<\/a> that allowed large influxes of undocumented immigrants, suggesting that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/attorney-general-merrick-garland-tests-positive-for-covid-19-following-meeting-with-fbi-director\/\" title=\"Attorney General Merrick Garland Tests Positive For COVID-19 Following Meeting With FBI Director\">recent enforcement actions<\/a> have been necessary and justified. The author contends that the media&#8217;s negative portrayal of immigration enforcement contributes to tragedies like Moore&#8217;s death, which are blamed on Democratic policies and media narratives that oppose law enforcement efforts at the border.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/us_icegov\/55364495840\/\" target=\"_blank\">ICE\/Flickr<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/09\/15\/immigration-law-enforcement-is-only-deadly-because-of-democrats-and-the-media\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Immigration Law Enforcement Is Only Deadly Because Of Democrats And The Media&#038;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/09\/15\/immigration-law-enforcement-is-only-deadly-because-of-democrats-and-the-media\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Immigration Law Enforcement Is Only Deadly Because Of Democrats And The Media&#038;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/09\/15\/immigration-law-enforcement-is-only-deadly-because-of-democrats-and-the-media\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/09\/15\/immigration-law-enforcement-is-only-deadly-because-of-democrats-and-the-media\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Immigration Law Enforcement Is Only Deadly Because Of Democrats And The Media&#038;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/09\/15\/immigration-law-enforcement-is-only-deadly-because-of-democrats-and-the-media\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\">                     <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); pfTrackEvent(&#039;Immigration Law Enforcement Is Only Deadly Because Of Democrats And The Media&#039;); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &#038; Email\">                     <span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span>                     <\/a>                 <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"pf-content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whenever reading some tragic story related to immigration in the dying news media, it\u2019s always important to remember one thing: This is, in no small part, their fault.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Washington Post this week has a gruesome report on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who allegedly shot himself after being told by his superiors that he was being terminated. Naturally, the Post frames the affair as an avoidable problem caused by the Trump administration having even hired the agent at all. <\/p>\n<div id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-2332118016\" class=\"d-flex justify-content-center fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2 fdrlst__b89e9-entity-placement\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citing unnamed \u201cformer officials\u201d and others, the report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/immigration\/2026\/09\/15\/ice-is-quietly-firing-new-hires-one-recruit-it-was-devastating\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/immigration\/2026\/09\/15\/ice-is-quietly-firing-new-hires-one-recruit-it-was-devastating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> the agent, identified as 38-year-old Joseph Moore, was hired \u201cso quickly that many new officers were put on the streets before being adequately vetted\u201d and that \u201chis death might have never happened if the agency had adequately vetted him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moore was hired as a deportation officer, meaning his job was to assist in facilitating the removal of the millions of aliens who are in this country illegally, thanks to Democrats (and even still some Republicans) who unlawfully gave them entry. And while many of those aliens have been here, they\u2019ve raped, robbed, and murdered countless Americans, stories you will essentially never see in The Washington Post or the rest of the dying media. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their interest isn\u2019t in upholding immigration law enforcement. It\u2019s in stopping it, so that yet more foreigners can be imported, loaded up with welfare, and then vote Democrat. Or, at minimum, get counted in the census in Democrat territory in time for congressional apportionment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voters made a choice in the last election to reverse our immigration situation. A problem of this magnitude requires a solution of equal size. That\u2019s why this administration has dumped money into ICE and U.S. Border Patrol, expanding the number of agents and pulling every single power lever it has to complete the job. Anyone could have foreseen that the operation would be unpleasant, maybe even ugly. It was the only option.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s unfortunate that some people <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/09\/03\/democrats-are-criminally-liable-for-every-immigrant-related-death\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/09\/03\/democrats-are-criminally-liable-for-every-immigrant-related-death\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have been hurt<\/a> in the process, but there\u2019s no one to blame but the people who got us here. That includes the Post and the dying media. They had nothing to say about the last administration opening up the southern border and allowing in millions upon millions of destitute foreigners, who had no guarantee that they would be permitted to stay indefinitely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That anyone has ever ended up dead or even mildly inconvenienced by this administration\u2019s efforts to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mayorkas-sworn-in-as-secretary-of-homeland-security-despite-heavy-gop-opposition\/\" title=\"Mayorkas Sworn In As Secretary Of Homeland Security Despite Heavy GOP Opposition\">enforce immigration law<\/a>, the very thing voters demanded in 2024, is the direct fault of Democrats and <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/06\/04\/heres-how-the-media-are-lying-right-now-bidens-deliberately-busted-border-edition\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/06\/04\/heres-how-the-media-are-lying-right-now-bidens-deliberately-busted-border-edition\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the dying media who enable them<\/a>. They did this. Joseph Moore is dead because of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Washington Post can keep covering these tragedies if it must. They\u2019re helpful reminders of who\u2019s to blame for the horrifying immigration mess we\u2019re in.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">
