Hoax Claims of Veterans Displaced by Migrants Exposed

Fox News and other right-wing media outlets ran with a story claiming that homeless veterans were being displaced from hotels in upstate New York to make room for migrants. However, the story turned out to be a hoax. The nonprofit group that works on temporarily housing the vets confirmed that they had been told to vacate and move elsewhere, but no migrants had taken their place. The story was debunked by local media, and the veterans advocate who had initially made the claim admitted to lying. Despite this, Newsmax continued to run news segments claiming that homeless veterans had been removed from housing to make room for migrants.
