CNN highlights a woman who they label as "disabled woman dragged out of her car and arrested by ICE," as if she was an innocent bystander. But the woman is Aliya Rahman, a fellow at a leftist activist group with a long history in progressive "racial and criminal justice campaigns" including targeting law enforcement, according to her page on New America.
CNN was trying to pass off an entrenched liberal activist as just an average Joe swept up by ICE.On her employment page for New America (a far-eft organization), they tout how she has "a background in legislative, electoral, and community organizing for racial and criminal justice campaigns, fifteen years of software development for the social justice movement..."
Additionally, "She is also is the former Field Director of Equality Ohio, where she built a statewide field program focused on bridging gaps between racial justice organizers, LGBT rights groups, and labor."
newamerica.org/our-people/ali…CNN follows up by giving the 'conservatives pounce' treatment to the story of the leftist mob invading a church to assail parishioners on Sunday:
"[Y]ou're almost surely seeing exclusively on conservative media and in conservative algorithms is something else that happened in Minneapolis yesterday. There was a church service where protesters made a point of going to this church service and using that as a staging area for, you know, making their, um, the fact that they're not happy with ICE, known."CNN boosts story of ‘disabled’ woman arrested by ICE, but she’s a professional 'social justice' activist• • •
How ironic. An “autistic” social justice activist randomly ended up in the middle of an ICE operation. The article below from “Tech for Social Justice” is from 2018. https://t.co/ggjwqeb2Gh pic.twitter.com/eUlhYD9Xez
