A tragic incident unfolded in the early hours of the new year in New Orleans, as a white pickup truck plowed through a crowd in the French Quarter, leaving 14 people dead and many more injured. The assailant, identified as a US citizen and Army veteran, carried out a terrorist attack inspired by ISIS, according to investigators.
Initial reports erroneously linked the attack to illegal border crossings, fueling far-right narratives. President-elect Donald Trump seized on the misinformation, blaming the Biden administration's immigration policies for the tragedy.
