Erin Burnett Out front has been following a family headed by an undocumented

mother. She was just told by the government that she had to buy a one way ticket for herself to where she came from. Seems weird that just who Out front was following gets deported. Is this an example of Trump wanting to make examples of people so they pick the ones being followed by the press? I mean it reminds me of Khazir Khan yesterday being warned that his travel privileges were under review so he cancelled a speech in Toronto. Is Bannon purposefully building a narrative? On sites with alt righters there is a constant stream of examples of either Muslims refugees anywhere or undocumented in the US committing crimes. Perhaps it is meant to cow people from speaking to the press lest they be made the next example. Perhaps Bannon and all want to build a drumbeat narrative that will grow Trump support by creating an 'other' to attack that cannot fight back (unlike the press or Obama who can and have fought back in the last few weeks).
