It sounds horrible - a pregnant woman was on her way to have her baby when ICE agents seized her husband for deportation. It only sounds a bit better that she was having a scheduled C-section and not in labor.
But the narrative really changes when you hear that the husband is wanted for murder in Mexico. Should an accused murderer be exempt from arrest because his wife is having her 5th child? Is the wife liable for arrest for shielding a fugitive for years?
There's no excuse for rushing the story to press before giving ICE a chance to explain the reason for the arrest. It was done as part of the Resistance, in order to stoke opinion against a policy they disagree with.
Ironically, the full story reinforces one of President Trumps charges that upsets the left the most - that Mexican murderers are coming across the border.
So a story was rushed out before all the facts are known in order to agitate against the President. Further the events and the release of the story overlapped the date when 350+ newspapers ran indignant editorials about the President's use of the term "fake news". What an irony.
