Weeks after the House Minority leader blasted President Donald Trump for pledging to investigate voter fraud, a federal appellate court has ruled that a Peruvian immigrant can be deported from the U.S. for illegally voting in a federal election. The decision comes on the heels of a spat between Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and the president.

Most Democrats in Congress agree with the former House Speaker and strongly oppose an investigation, asserting it will limit access to voting.
Not surprisingly, the overwhelming majority of the mainstream media coverage promotes the Democrats' inaccurate version of the facts. One news network referred to Trump's voter fraud claims as "baseless" and simply an excuse to enact restrictive voting laws. Another wrote that "Trump's ‘iIlegals voting' comments are false and divisive," calling voter fraud by undocumented immigrants "patently false." In an editorial titled "The Latest Voter Fraud Lie," a mainstream newspaper writes that the "baseless claims continue to get converted into policy in the form of stricter voting laws like requiring prospective voters to show a photo ID..." A multitude of similar media reports have flooded the news wires in the week's following Trump's meeting with congressional leaders to address the issue.
