- The White House criticized CNN and MSNBC for not broadcasting the event live, calling their lack of coverage 'sickening and horrific' and accusing them of ignoring victims of illegal immigrant crime.

- CNN stated it was covering breaking news of a historic blizzard during the event, provided limited digital coverage, and published an article noting President Trump's use of 'angel families' in immigration policy discourse, while acknowledging there is no data linking immigrants to higher crime rates.
