Trump team litters White House lawn with mugshots of arrested migrants

Monday 28 April 2025 09:18 EDT


President Donald Trump’s administration has lined the White House driveway with large posters featuring mugshots of migrants as the president broadcasts his immigration crackdown, according to a report.

In a clear view for the press, the "roughly 100" posters were placed along "Pebble Beach," the north grounds of the White House where TV crews broadcast from, Axios reported Monday.

Each poster features the word “ARRESTED” above an immigrant’s mugshot and the crime they are accused of committing. Instead of names, the posters say “illegal alien” under each mugshot.

The hope is that the posters are visible behind the journalists as they broadcast from that spot, a White House official told Axios. Photos, obtained by the news website, show posters with immigrants who allegedly committed “murder," "sexual offense against child," "rape,” and “distribution of fentanyl”.

Publishing mugshots should be illegal until a person is convicted. I can’t imagine what it is like for an innocent person to watch their life fail apart because of a phony allegation and then to have their picture open them up to public scorn.
No wonder so many right wingers believe that anyone who is accused is guilty.
