Department of Homeland Security criticizes The New York Times coverage of Minneapolis shooting involving ICE agent and Venezuelan national, calling headline «despicably misleading.»
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) took aim at The New York Times’ coverage of a Minneapolis shooting involving an illegal immigrant attacking a federal officer.
On Wednesday, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot a Venezuelan national in the leg after the suspect allegedly attacked the officer with a shovel as part of an ambush.
But the Times’ breaking news omitted the migrant’s actions that led to the shooting.
» A federal agent shot an immigrant in the leg in Minneapolis, federal officials said, one week after an ICE officer killed Renee Good in the city», the Times posted on X.
Additionally, the Times’ headline read «Federal Agent Shoots Immigrant in Minneapolis, Homeland Security Says», telling readers beneath it that the shooting «comes a week after an ICE agent fatally shot a woman in the city.
