Legacy media outlets are trying to help the Dems spin Trump administration deportations of criminal illegals as a terrible, un-American thing because, well, they couldn't be more predictable.

But the start of this week was St. Patrick's Day, and a few days ago CBS News made it clear they would be finding a related spin for their stories designed to create opposition to Trump enforcing immigration laws.
