In a troubling pattern of editorial bias, the Minnesota Star Tribune continues to shield criminal illegal immigrants from public scrutiny. The latest example involves a Honduran national who, while driving drunk with a revoked license and open alcohol containers, caused a fatal crash that killed two Minnesota teenagers. Despite the severity of the crime, the newspaper downplayed the driver’s immigration status, referring to her simply as a “Wisconsin driver.”

This is not an isolated incident. The Star Tribune has previously defended illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes, including abuse of minors, framing these offenses as “cultural misunderstandings.” The paper has even suggested that American citizens “pay the price” for deporting dangerous individuals.

Critics argue that the Star Tribune’s coverage aligns with the views of pro-sanctuary politicians like Tim Walz, who oppose deportation efforts and support policies that keep violent offenders on U.S. streets. In contrast, the Trump Administration remains committed to removing criminal illegal immigrants and preventing further tragedies.

The question remains: Why does a major newspaper continue to run interference for individuals who pose a clear threat to public safety?
