Pablo Manriquez, the Vanity Fair Congressional reporter who recently leaked details of ICE raids against criminal illegal aliens in Northern Virginia, doubled down after being called out by Fox News reporters.

(Manriquez also is editor of Migrant Insider on Substack.)

According to a bio posted by Manriquez, he was born in Chile, “Before moving to Washington, D.C., I earned a bachelor’s degree in history and political science from Notre Dame where I studied abroad — first in London and then Santiago de Chile, the capitol city where I was born in South America.”

An old bio of Manriquez posted by the National Association of Hispanic Publications says he was a Democratic Party operative:

Pablo Manriquez is a political operative with a decade of media experience on national campaigns. As Hispanic Media Director for the Democratic National Committee, he appears frequently in national and local print, digital, and television coverage in English and Spanish of the 2016 election cycle. Born in Santiago de Chile, Manriquez immigrated as a child to Missouri before studying political science at Notre Dame. He is based in Washington, D.C. where, in his occasional free time, he enjoys playing futbol, watching futbol, karaoke, and photography.




Congressional reporter Pablo Manriquez speaks with C-SPAN about his hobby painting people and scenes in the Capitol, screen image, March 8, 2024.Fox reporters Bill Melugin and Lawrence B. Jones III each posted on Sunday about Manriquez leaking details of the ICE raids and advising targets how to evade capture.

Manriquez posted:

“ICE RAIDS are planned for Monday & Tuesday in Northern Virginia, per multiple sources who tell us ICE has obtained between 75 and 100 judicial warrants.”

“NOTE: Judicial warrants mean ICE can go into your homes, so plan accordingly.”

“NOTE: Remember that state police have been deputized to help ICE, so highways, etc, are unsafe.”

Monday morning, Manriquez posted locations where in Northern Virginia where ICE was seen operating, “NEW: ICE has been spotted in Buchanan, Buckingham, Ft. Myers, Ballston, Arlington, Rosslyn, Manases, and on the Little River Turnpike—all in Northern Virginia.”

Melugin posted on Sunday, “Open borders activist reporter gives ICE targets a heads up, tells them to “plan accordingly”. Judicial warrants means a judge has signed off on these targets – they aren’t just administrative.

And @PabloReports just told them ICE is coming. Leaks continue.”

Manriquez responded to the criticism, “NEW: Fox News is ganging up on @MigrantInsider. Funny thing is we got no booking requests to have me on their air about my ICE raid scoop. None. Their Hill team is fire but Bill and Lawrence are just virtue signalers is all. Completely unserious and cowardly af.”

Fox News did several segments on the leak Monday morning:

Funny thing about all these bros bitching about my scoop is that none have asked for an interview. They aren't news people because they're not even trying to find out anything new.

They're just mediocre keyboard warriors with bully pulpits that are too easy to ignore.
