They want to own this right now. They are actually loving this blow up right now.
Consider:
They get to demonize immigrants
They get to torture people
They get to broadcast it as a deterrent
They are scoring huge with their base
They are making money off the prisons and fundraising
They get to use the hostages as ransom for the wall
They are antogonizing the press
they get to distract from Russia

This is why they are controlling the images
