Mississippi Free Press goes deep on Kasper Eriksen story
News outlet is first to speak with Danish man detained at immigration hearing
The MFP article, by Nick Judin, offers new details about how the Starkville, Mississippi welder got caught in the Trump administration’s wide immigrant net. The article does, however, contain a significant error: It says the story was first reported by Emily Wagster Pettus at Mississippi Today, when in fact The Mississippi Independent broke the story several days earlier — a detail that was likewise left out of the Mississippi Today article. (Note: The Mississippi Free Press has since amended their article to correct the record.)
