**Rampant Misinformation: Doc Rivers Misleads on Immigration Enforcement**

In a concerning display of misinformation, Doc Rivers, head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, recently made incendiary statements regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that mischaracterize the agency's operations and cast doubt on its integrity.

During a pre-game press conference, Rivers claimed that ICE is “murdering” people and specifically targeting individuals based on their skin color. He referenced controversial flags of moral authority used in the NBA and ignored critical facts surrounding the law enforcement community.

Rivers stated that “right now, brown people feel that only brown people would be taken off the streets,” suggesting a random, racially motivated targeting by federal law enforcement. However, no evidence supports this assertion, nor did any reporters challenge him during the press conference.


Contextually, Rivers's comments come at a time when the Biden administration’s immigration policies have resulted in an uptick in illegal border crossings. This backdrop highlights the urgent need to enforce existing immigration laws—not vilify those tasked with upholding them.

Critically, Rivers misquoted Tom Homan, former head of ICE, further showcasing either a lack of understanding or willful spin. Homan’s discussions on enforcement have consistently emphasized a comprehensive approach, considering various factors and not simply one’s appearance.

In stark contrast to Rivers’s rhetoric, Senator John Kennedy has been vocal in his support for ICE, condemning sanctuary cities and the misinformation perpetuated by Democratic leaders. Kennedy rightly points out that illegal immigration undermines the rule of law, a cornerstone of American society.

As Rivers continues to misinform millions of fans, the NBA risks alienating its audience, a trend observable in its declining viewership over recent years. The influence that figures like Rivers have in shaping public opinion necessitates a responsibility not to misconstrue facts and narratives.

Ultimately, it’s time for coaches and players to focus on their respective roles—Rivers should stick to coaching basketball and leave the political commentary to those who genuinely seek to protect law and order. The American people deserve accurate information grounded in the truth, rather than politically charged inaccuracies that create division.
