CNN’s Jim Acosta’s battle with the Trump admin’s Stephen Miller over the poem on the Statue of Liberty dominated the political news yesterday evening and this morning. During the back-and-forth, Acosta used the poem to attempt to refute immigration policies President Trump is proposing. Twitter Moments thought it would be a good time to serve up an important legal disclaimer of sorts:

Not “technically” U.S. law? LOL.
That poem (written as a fund-raiser to pay for the pedestal) is no more "US law" than "Kumbaya" or "This Land Is Your Land" is "US law", ffs

The poem "technically" isn't law.
I can't figure out why that Twitter stock keeps tanking. ??? https://t.co/eXFHAHyqYV
