REPORT: Noem trashes CBS for ‘shamefully’ removing information critical of Abrego Garcia from interview

4

FROM WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blasted CBS for “shamefully” editing out information about Kilmar Abrego Garcia‘s alleged criminal history after her interview on its program Face the Nation.

Noem’s interview on Sunday included a brief segment on Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran national whom the Trump administration mistakenly deported to his native country before being brought back to the United States on human smuggling charges. In it, she addressed the recent developments in the legal saga, including his possible deportation to Uganda, which has set itself up as a third country for deportations, even as the criminal case plays out in court.

While making clear that Abrego Garcia will never be released into the U.S. again due to his residing in the country illegally for over a decade, Noem also repeated the allegations of his MS-13 gang membership, human smuggling, and that he abused his wife, all of which CBS chose not to air.

The interview cuts the information, and Noem’s comments on Abrego Garcia’s alleged extensive criminal history do appear in a transcript released by the network.

An editor’s note on the transcript says, “Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been charged with two counts of human smuggling and has pleaded not guilty. He is currently in ICE detention pending trial. He has not been charged with any counts related to child abuse.”

In an X post, Noes declared, “This morning, I joined CBS to report the facts about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Instead, CBS shamefully edited the interview to whitewash the truth about this MS-13 gang member and the threat he poses to American public safety.”
