'Not Totally Unprecedented Territory': Rob Bonta Explains Other State Lawsuits Targeting ICE
Forbes Breaking News posted fifteen videos, with immigration enforcement running through several of its most-watched new clips. California Attorney General Rob Bonta's Thursday briefing supplied the largest new audience, as he explained other states' lawsuits targeting ICE activities.
The upload, "'Not Totally Unprecedented Territory': Rob Bonta Explains Other State Lawsuits Targeting ICE," puts the legal context up front. Elsewhere on the shelf, President Donald Trump praises ICE and CBP officers' work confronting cartels, while Rep. Pramila Jayapal describes immigration as a civil rather than criminal system during a shadow hearing. These are excerpts of the officials' remarks, giving viewers separate entry points into the policy debate rather than one combined discussion.
Domestic policy extends beyond immigration: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear criticizes cuts to SNAP benefits, Sen. Eric Schmitt calls for more federal resources against violent crime, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott addresses Hispanic community concerns about increased police presence in Tyler.
Across the channel, the week brought about 15.6 million views, while subscribers held steady. LiveNOW from FOX and News24 had larger weekly viewing totals among nearby news channels; PBS NewsHour had a smaller total but is having a busier-than-usual day. Forbes Breaking News, by contrast, is seeing daily viewing far below its usual pace, even with a fresh batch of briefings and hearing excerpts on the shelf.
