Supreme Court hands Trump administration a victory in immigration battle

On Tuesday the Supreme Court gave the Trump administration a victory in the battle to clamp down on illegal immigration by making it easier to detain immigrants with criminal records. Most people are reading this or maybe don't understand what this means, here's an example,  Federal immigration authorities can detain immigrants awaiting deportation anytime after they have been released from prison on criminal charges. The right-wing conservatives argued that if there was a harsher process on illegal immigration or illegal immigrants then we can start to eliminate this problem. On the other hand, the left-wing liberals argue that the people who get involved with immigration should have a hearing to argue their release while deportation proceedings go forward. With the 5-4 decision on Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled against them.

In 1922, the newspaper columnist Walter Lippman felt concerned about the media and the power media had to present images to the public. This goes as far back as 1922 and we still see if today in our current society. In 1968 a research was done and they found two elements, awareness and information. The information that they gathered from the research was that McCombs and Shaw’s presidential campaign was mainly focused was to attempt to assess the relationship between what voters in one community said were important issues and the actual content of the media messages used during the campaign. Agenda-setting is the creation of public awareness and concern of salient issues by the news media. Most research of agenda-setting have underlining of two basic assumptions: 1.)
