The NBC, ABC, and CBS morning shows on Wednesday were grateful that a liberal federal judge sent the White House “reeling” after he handed President Trump “another big setback” to his “hardline immigration policy.” Rather than actually highlight the criminals who have evaded capture due to lax enforcement of immigration laws in left-wing sanctuary cities, the networks instead celebrated the ruling as a loss for the administration.

On NBC’s Today, co-host Matt Lauer eagerly announced that “plans to cut funding for so-called sanctuary cities” had “taken a big hit from a federal judge.” Correspondent Kristen Welker scolded: “President Trump is lashing out at the latest court to block him.” After reading a tweet from the President attacking the “ridiculous” ruling, she smugly proclaimed: “It is yet another controversy with that 100-day benchmark looming.”
