DeSantis claims legacy outlets systematically omit immigration status when reporting crimes by undocumented immigrants — using a hypothetical Dallas rape case as his example. The claim rests on anecdotal impression rather than a specific verifiable incident or data analysis. Research on this topic conflicts: some studies show media *overrepresents* immigrant crime, while journalistic ethics guides argue immigration status should be omitted to avoid sensationalism. Without a concrete example, the pattern DeSantis describes cannot be verified.
