  • Fake News: Chicago Does NOT Have City ID Cards Which Allow Illegal Immigrants To Vote

    Fact Check

    Does Chicago have city ID cards which allow illegal immigrants to vote in local, state and federal elections? No, Chicago's CityKey ID program does not give non-citizens a way to illegally cast ballots when they otherwise would not be able to do so. An image that has been shared widely on social platforms falsely states that the new Chicago ID…

  • Fake News: 10,800 U.S. Children Were NOT Raped By Illegal Immigrants in 2018

    Fact Check

    Were 10,800 U.S. children raped by illegal immigrants in 2018? Almost certainly not. The actual statistics haven't been published yet and the 10,800 number is just a very sloppy extrapolation based on data from one state that also includes non-rapes. The story went viral via an article published on January 2, 2019 titled "NCFIRE: 10,800 U.S. Children Were Raped By…

  • Fake News: Black Men DID Commit Some Of This Year's 154 Mass Shootings

    Fact Check

    Were none of the 154 mass shootings in the United States this year commited by black men or illegal aliens? No, that's not true: the claim made in a viral Facebook post published by David Brown this summer which has been shared over half a million times can easily be disproven. The claim appeared in a Facebook post published on…

  • Fake News: Van Full of Illegals NOT Caught Voting in Ohio Special Election

    Fact Check

    Was a van full of illegals caught illegally casting ballots in the Ohio special election? No, that's not true: a story circulating online that made this claim was posted by a satirical website that tries to trick conservatives and Republicans into sharing fake news so they can then be mocked for it. The events described in the article did not…

  • Fake News: Passenger Plane Full Of Illegals Did NOT Skydive To America, Did NOT Land Inside A Prison

    Fact Check

    Did a passenger plane full of illegal immigrants fly over the U.S. border in an attempt to parachute across and did it all go horribly wrong for them with the skydivers landing directly in a New Mexico prison named "La Maga Laro State Prison" where they were caught by ICE? No such thing happened: the story originated with an article…

  • Fake News: Trucks Full Of Illegals Did NOT Cast Fake Votes In Pennsylvania Race

    Fact Check

    Did truckloads full of illegal immigrants cast fake votes in the Pennsylvania election for the 18th Congressional District? And did this invalidate Conor Lamb's narrow win over Rick Saccone? We won't know 100% certain who won until after all questions about potential recounts have been settled but one thing we do know: the story about the trucks full of illegals…

The article opened: Officials in the liberal southern California city of San Diego, have declared a state of emergency during the popular vacation weekend for the tourist town.

  • Fake News: Jeff Bridges Did NOT Say Illegal Immigrants Shouldn't Receive Social Security

    Fact Check

    Two fake news sites both published articles titled "JEFF BRIDGES: ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS SHOULDN'T RECIVE SOCIAL SECURITY. DO YOU AGREE HIM?" (yes, written like that). Update: A third site posted the article. Of course Jeff Bridges never said anything like that and the rest of the article never even mentions Jeff Bridges. It opens: Every year, the Social Security Administration collects…
