When George Floyd died beneath a police officer's knee in 2020, Democrats quickly elevated the national outrage, morphing his death into a symbol of systemic racism — and mainstream media followed suit, amplifying the party's message with wall-to-wall coverage and emotional storytelling.

Five years later, the same pattern is playing out with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a citizen of El Salvador who was deported by the Trump administration despite a court order.
