Driving the news: The posters — which read “ARRESTED” — specify various crimes linked to the pictured immigrants and have the White House’s official logo at the bottom.

-The “roughly 100” posters were being placed strategically along “Pebble Beach,” where TV news crews do live shots in front of the mansion. A White House official told Axios the intent is for the posters to be visible behind TV journalists reporting from those positions.

-Posters positioned near the West Wing claim to show unauthorized immigrants arrested for “first-degree murder,” “sexual abuse of a child,” “kidnapping and rape,” “murder,” “rape of a child,” and “distribution of fentanyl.”

-Others claim to show people charged with “sexual assault of minors,” “sexual contact with a child,” and “lewd acts in front of a child.”

-The posters describe the arrestees as “illegal aliens.” Their names and precise legal statuses aren’t included.

    I would not be surprised if in a month it turns out a bunch of those don’t match with the crimes

      Not only that, but I bet there are a bunch of people here who really are US citizens, and a bunch more who are either here legally, or were until the President canceled their visas just for this stunt.

      They sound like an ai was told to generate 100 different horrable crimes.

      Do we know if the same crime text is used twice? It’s weird to talk about minor in one and child in the other.

      Whats the legal difference between sexual abuse and sexual contact?

        This is all obvious theater and many of these are just pics of these people. No way to tell if they’ve actually been arrested before or if it’s just random security footage, but the text differences might be that different states have different terminology. What classifies as rape or molestation or contact or anything else can differ from place to place. It might still be AI, but it’s not unusual for the same crime to have different names depending on where it was committed.

      Considering that they’re making completely unsupported allegations re: Abrego Garcia, I have no trust whatsoever that they did more than elementary school research into the crimes they’re attributing, and assume that nearly none of them are supported by court convictions.

      I would not be surprised that the images are ai generated, since there’s no information on the individuals to look them up and fact check.
