FCC Chairman Brendan Carr Takes Aim at Comcast Over Coverage of Kilmar Abrego Garcia


FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has taken aim at CNN and MSNBC over their coverage of Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation.

He continued, “Abrego Garcia came to America illegally from El Salvador, was validated as a member of the violent MS13 gang—a transnational criminal organization—and was denied bond by an immigration court for failure to show he would not pose a danger to others. Carr’s use of the term “news distortion” raises the specter of him pursuing an FCC complaint against Comcast or MSNBC on those grounds, as he is at present in the battle with CBS over its “60 Minutes” interview of Kamala Harris last October. Garcia, a father and a husband to an American woman, has been the subject of a media firestorm ever since he was suddenly deported in March from the United States to an El Salvadorian prison due to an “administrative error,” according to the Department of Justice.
