The New Yorker just got caught red-handed peddling disgusting lies about this convicted killer
The garbage media keeps trying to rewrite reality under Trump.
They think Americans are stupid enough to fall for their sob stories.
And The New Yorker just got caught red-handed peddling disgusting lies about this convicted killer.
Elite magazine tries selling sympathy for convicted murderer
The New Yorker posted a message on X that would make any decent person's blood boil.
"Orville Etoria, a Jamaican national who'd lived in New York for nearly 50 years, was shackled and put on an ICE flight to Eswatini," the magazine wrote. "'It helped me imagine how the slaves might have felt, going to another land in shackles and chains,' he said."¹
The post was designed to trigger outrage against President Trump's deportation policies.
Compare a convicted murderer to slaves? That's what passes for journalism at The New Yorker these days.
But X users weren't having it.
Within hours, a Community Note appeared exposing what The New Yorker conveniently left out – and it gutted their entire narrative in one brutal sentence.
"Orville Etoria has multiple serious felonies including armed robbery and murder," the note read. "He held a U.S. lawful permanent resident status, which can and was revoked following his criminal convictions."²
The Department of Homeland Security laid out the full picture The New Yorker didn't want readers to know.
Etoria's rap sheet includes murder, criminal possession of a weapon, armed robbery, and forcible theft with a deadly weapon.³
He shot a man in the head in a Brooklyn leather goods store in 1996.
Sentenced to 25 years to life for second-degree murder.
An immigration judge issued a final order of removal in 2009 – sixteen years ago.⁴
Etoria stayed in the country anyway, exploiting loopholes in Biden's open borders policies.
That's the "innocent immigrant" The New Yorker tried to sell as a victim of Trump's "cruelty."
Leftist media template exposed once again
This wasn't some mistake or misunderstanding.
The New Yorker knew exactly what they were doing.
The magazine's article buried Etoria's murder conviction several paragraphs deep, after painting him as just another hardworking immigrant caught in Trump's dragnet.
They focused on how long he lived here, his education in prison, his job at a homeless shelter after release.
All designed to make readers feel sympathy before dropping the inconvenient fact that he murdered someone.
The victim of Etoria's crime? Doesn't get mentioned.
The family left behind? Not worth The New Yorker's concern.
Just another dead American who doesn't fit the narrative.

The Department of Homeland Security called out The New York Times for running a similar sob story about Etoria earlier this year.
"Why does the New York Times continue to peddle sob stories of criminal illegal aliens?" DHS asked. "When will they finally shed light on the victims of illegal alien crimes?"⁵
The answer is never – because that would undermine their agenda.
President Trump made clear this administration won't tolerate violent criminals staying in America.
"If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, you could end up in CECOT, Eswatini, South Sudan, or another third country," a DHS spokesperson explained.⁶
That's not cruelty – that's keeping Americans safe.
The elite media hates Trump's success at deporting dangerous criminals because it proves everything they said about immigration was a lie.
They told us we couldn't deport people.
They said it was inhumane.
They claimed these were just hardworking people looking for a better life.
Trump's proving them wrong every single day – one deported criminal at a time.
And The New Yorker's desperate attempt to create sympathy for a convicted murderer shows just how terrified they are that Americans might actually support enforcing our immigration laws.
The X Community Notes feature exists precisely to combat this kind of propaganda masquerading as journalism.
The New Yorker learned that lesson the hard way when their attempt to manipulate readers blew up in their faces.
