But hey, it serves that narrative, so it’s cool.

The office of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is under fire after the mayor’s press secretary fueled a rumor about immigration officials going after a fourth grade student in a city school.
Press Secretary Eric Phillips tweeted Saturday that de Blasio had been briefed about federal immigration agents showing up at a Queens school and demanding information about one of the students.
While Phillips never said why the agents were there or which agency they were with, his evident distaste (“A 4th grader”) led Twitter users to assume the ICE agents were looking to deport the child.
