On 5 May 2017, the The Last Line of Defense web site (and subsequently related shill sites such as USA Politics Now) published an article reporting that Malia Obama, the daughter of former president Barack Obama, had been arrested with a gang of thugs in Chicago on charges related to dogfighting: In August 2017 the Land of the Free fake news site ran the same false story, changing Malia's alleged offense from a dogfighting-related one to a drug-related one: These reports of the former First Daughter's arrest were completely fabricated, and the image appended to them as proof that Malia Obama had been arrested in Chicago was a photograph of an October 2013 dogfighting ring bust which was digitally altered to insert a picture of her face in place of one of the original suspects: The Last Line of Defense (The Resistance) is a fake news site that consistently dupes social media users with fabricated stories, despite the presence of a disclaimer disclosing its satirical nature: None of site's articles are truthful — including this one about Malia Obama's arrest in Chicago.
