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.

    This is not a good sign.

    If you’re trying to get people to hate and fear people of color I guess you need to show them what color of people to hate?

    This has “Mommy Mommy look at my report card” energy all over it.

    Disgusting and vile people who try to justify hating those of color with lawn sized fascist trading cards.

    We should figure out what company printed all of these and boycott them back to the printing press age.

          In many ways, absolutely. I was only referring to displaying impaled enemies on pikes along the roads as a deterrent.

        Vlad was unique with the impalements but wasn’t out of pocket according to the day. He was slandered by a rival.
