"Illegal immigrant deported 6 times charged in felony hit and run of family"

Mostly True

Multiple such cases were reported in mid-2015; the specific case likely references a real incident though details may be slightly imprecise (e.g., the Steinle case involved 5 deportations, not 6, but this references a different hit-and-run case)

Analysis: Retweet of Scavino Post on Immigration Crime (2015-07-07)

This post is a retweet/quote of Dan Scavino amplifying a news story about an illegal immigrant charged with a felony hit-and-run, used to validate Trump's controversial immigration comments. The post fits within a dense cluster of immigration-themed posts on this date, all serving to reinforce the narrative that Trump's remarks about Mexican immigrants were correct.

Context

The Kate Steinle shooting (July 1, 2015) and similar cases were being leveraged to defend Trump's June 2015 campaign announcement remarks about Mexican immigrants. This post references a different case (deported 6 times, felony hit-and-run) to build cumulative evidence for Trump's position.

Authorship

This is a retweet of Scavino's own post praising Trump. The format—quoting a staffer's tweet with hashtag #Trump2016—is consistent with either Trump retweeting or Scavino operating Trump's account. Posted at ~5:11 PM ET (likely NYC), business hours. The polished nature and campaign hashtag suggest aide-managed content.

Psychological Function

The post serves a validation/supply-seeking function: curating external evidence that "Trump is not wrong." The pattern of retweeting supporters and amplifying confirming anecdotes is characteristic of confirmation bias deployment and narcissistic supply gathering.

Rhetorical Techniques

Cherry-picking / anecdotal evidence: Using individual criminal cases to validate sweeping generalizations
Appeal to authority via third-party endorsement: Scavino says "Trump is not wrong"
Confirmation bias amplification: Selective case presentation

Fact Verification
