Media Monitor: PolitiFact is reporting on two false claims circulating online. One fabricated story claims Kerr County, Texas, Sheriff Larry L. Leitha said he would apply for green cards for a Mexican rescue team that supposedly saved his family from recent floods. PolitiFact found no evidence of this and determined the audio in the video promoting the claim was likely AI-generated. Separately, PolitiFact is also refuting claims by Gov. Ron DeSantis that the Alligator Alcatraz migrant detention center has "zero impact" on the Everglades. Environmental experts dispute this, citing potential habitat degradation and pollution. PolitiFact rated both claims as false.
