#Disinformation Campaign of #Fake Images & #ConspiracyTheories On #SocialMedia Stoke #RightWing#Rage Around #LAProtests

Misleading photos, videos & texts have spread widely on social #media as #protests against #immigration #raids unfolded in #LosAngeles, rehashing old conspiracy theories‘ to support #Trump’s actions.
