Driving the news: The posters — which read “ARRESTED” — specify various crimes linked to the pictured immigrants and have the White House’s official logo at the bottom.

-The “roughly 100” posters were being placed strategically along “Pebble Beach,” where TV news crews do live shots in front of the mansion. A White House official told Axios the intent is for the posters to be visible behind TV journalists reporting from those positions.

-Posters positioned near the West Wing claim to show unauthorized immigrants arrested for “first-degree murder,” “sexual abuse of a child,” “kidnapping and rape,” “murder,” “rape of a child,” and “distribution of fentanyl.”

-Others claim to show people charged with “sexual assault of minors,” “sexual contact with a child,” and “lewd acts in front of a child.”

-The posters describe the arrestees as “illegal aliens.” Their names and precise legal statuses aren’t included.

    Some should quickly print a sign with the guy who sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll and put it there…

      This is screaming for someone to ham it up with some new signs. I would be pretty surprised if no one’s done it inside a week.

      They wouldn’t have to be at the White House, although that would also be entertaining. It could just be the same format and posted literally anywhere.
