Tom Cotton, U.S. Senator

“The Biden administration “halted deportations for all illegal aliens — murderers, rapists, terrorists, MS-13 gang members are not being deported.”

PolitiFact rated this: False

PolitiFact says: Cotton’s office said he misspoke. Biden’s administration ordered a 100-day deportation pause, but it did not apply to criminals such as murderers, rapists, terrorists or gang members.
