Yamiche Alcindor of PBS NewsHour is criticized for claiming that "undocumented immigrants do not commit more crimes than American citizens." The hosts argue this is a logical fallacy because the act of being an undocumented immigrant is itself a crime. They discuss the shift in media lexicon from "illegal alien" to "undocumented immigrant" as a way to manipulate public perception.

The city of South Haven, Mississippi, is arguing in court that an undocumented immigrant shot dead by police in his own home had no constitutional rights. Ismael Lopez was killed when officers went to the wrong house while serving a warrant. The city's legal defense claims that because Lopez was not a U.S. citizen, he was not entitled to the protections of the Fourth or Fourteenth Amendments.

California Senate Bill 1322 has gone into effect, barring law enforcement from arresting sex workers under the age of 18. While proponents argue this helps victims of trafficking receive treatment rather than jail time, critics worry it effectively decriminalizes underage prostitution.

Vice President Joe Biden addressed the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, stating that 11 million undocumented immigrants are "already Americans" in his view.
