President-elect Donald Trump and his allies have attributed a deadly truck attack in New Orleans to President Biden’s border policies, despite the assailant, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, being a U.S. citizen and Army veteran. Trump criticized Biden’s “Open Borders Policy,” claiming it increases crime and national security threats. Misleading reports suggested Jabbar crossed the border just days prior, prompting statements from Trump Jr. and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene blaming Biden. While House Speaker Mike Johnson echoed concerns about dangerous individuals entering the U.S., official data indicates only a tiny fraction of migrants have links to terrorism.
