REPORT: Trump Officials Slam Media ‘Smears’ Against Border Patrol, DHS Calls NBC Report ‘Disgusting, Even for Fake News’

1

FROM BREITBART: Several high-ranking members of the Trump administration are striking back at liberal media outlets for anti-ICE and anti-Border Patrol headlines and news articles the officials believe fail to tell the whole story behind recent use-of-force incidents and illegal alien arrests. In one recent post, the Department of Homeland Security calls an NBC article “DISGUSTING, even for fake news.”

DHS blasted NBC’s tear gas coverage as “disgusting,” accusing the outlet of omitting key facts—like the arrest of a violent illegal alien and assaults on federal officers. U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli also rebuked LA Times reporters for downplaying the criminal threat posed by a man armed with a stolen handgun and a toddler in tow, saying, “Anyone who assaults or interferes with federal agents will be arrested and charged.”

Homeland Security posted on X:

@NBCNews, this is DISGUSTING even for the fake news. Our brave Border Patrol agents were SURROUNDED AND BOXED IN by agitators. Here’s the REAL STORY: Border Patrol conducted an operation that resulted in the arrest of a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, who has previously been arrested for assault. During the operations Border Patrol agents were surrounded and boxed in by a group of agitators. Federal law enforcement issued multiple lawful commands and verbal warnings, all of which were ignored. During the operation, two U.S. citizens were arrested for assaulting and impeding a federal officer. To safely clear the area after multiple warnings and the crowd continuing to advance on them, Border Patrol had to deploy crowd control measures. Our officers are facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them. Smears like this from @NBCNews are adding fuel to that fire. It must end.
