Trump Admin Rips Media For Calling Convicted Felon An ‘Immigration Activist’
Story by Hailey Gomez • 12h
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ripped corporate media Friday over how it reported the arrest of 58-year-old Alma Bowman, telling the Daily Caller News Foundation that labeling Bowman an “immigration activist” is dishonest.
Reports of Bowman’s detention surfaced in May, with Atlanta News First covering her arrest and outlets like the Georgia Recorder labeling her an “immigrant activist.” Bowman had been detained in March after a routine check-in at ICE’s Atlanta field office, with the outlet noting her permanent residency was revoked over a $1,200 bad check conviction.
While the outlet reported Bowman paid back the debt, her record shows four forgery charges and a 2013 narcotics charge for methamphetamine possession. According to the Macon Telegraph, she pleaded guilty in 2013 to forgery, one count of meth possession and three counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
