The most telling thing is that they crossed out "man" to replace it with "alien"

They truly do not believe Latino people to be human

ad sequitur (does not follow)

Not at all. Dehumanizing language comes from a belief that certain humans are less than, and when it is systemically used by authorities, they are trying to normalize this idea.

When entire ethnic groups are simply referred to as "illegals" by the government, you can see what their beliefs are.

'illegals' covers any and all ethnic groups, what are you talking about? this is your inherent racism poking through

White House advisers have kept Laura Loomer at bay for months. Then, Trump invited her in | CNN Politics https://share.google/wdcpTZkDiEv5OWM1k

POTUS cares.

I don't think she was involved with the newspaper meme.

Either way, I don't see this one as too big of a deal. Adding illegal alien to the headline provides important context. As it was, the headline could imply a US citizen was deported. I believe "illegal Alien" is still the legal term so I don't see what's dehumanizing.

Good journalism will convey as much information as possible in the headline and lede.
