  • The president-elect said the deadly attack on Bourbon Street was a result of President Joe Biden's immigration policies.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's reaction to a mass shooting in New Orleans, where he blamed "open borders" for the incident. Trump's comments were made in the context of his ongoing criticism of the Biden administration's immigration policies. The article fact-checks Trump's claims by clarifying that the suspect, Matthew Lathers, was not an immigrant but a U.S. citizen with a criminal history, thus debunking the direct link Trump suggested between the shooting and immigration policies. It also notes that while Trump has frequently used such events to argue for stricter border controls, the facts of this case do not support his assertions. The piece further explores the broader implications of Trump's rhetoric on public perception and policy regarding immigration and crime.
