This editorial is completely bogus and inconsistent with itself. It is further evidence that the Globe editors have lost all objectivity when it comes to Trump and simply cannot be trusted.

By the editorial's own admission Trump's executive order "told immigration officials to remove any illegal alien convicted of a crime" or accused of one, somewhat tougher than Obama's "dangerous or repeat criminals" (but not limited to those people). Obama deported more people than any president in history. There is no assertion Rayos is a criminal or accused of a crime, so Trump's tougher order has nothing to do with her deportation. More likely it is simply immigration as usual, but now finally getting around to her under the same rules as Obama. The Globe tries to infer it is because of Trump's order. But whatever the reason, there is no evidence it had anything to do with an executive order from Trump. I am not sure this is fake news, but it is just as bad.
