    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A Republican state representative in Michigan, Rep. Matt Maddock,Ā claimedĀ on social media on Wednesday night that he had photo evidence of ā€œillegal invadersā€ arriving at Detroit Metro Airport.

    The buses were not for ā€œillegal invadersā€; they were for the menā€™s college basketball teams that landed at the Detroit airport to compete in the NCAA tournament known as March Madness.

    ā€œThe four menā€™s basketball teams competing in the NCAA Tournamentā€™s Sweet 16 at Little Caesars Arena arrived at DTW Wednesday evening.

    But Barrett Henderson, Gonzaga Universityā€™s assistant athletic director for communications, confirmed to CNN on Thursday that the teamĀ flew on an Allegiant plane, landed at Detroit Metro airport on Wednesday evening in the hour before Maddockā€™s post, and boarded buses that were waiting at the airport.

    Rob Anderson, sports information director at Creighton University, told CNN that their team landed at the airport on Wednesday afternoon, had buses waiting and received a police escort as well.

    He wrote a new post saying, ā€œWe know this is happeningā€ and that hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are ā€œpouring into our country.ā€ He added: ā€œSince we canā€™t trust the #FakeNews to investigate, citizens will.
