The White House posted a digitally altered image showing a demonstrator involved in interrupting a church service in Minnesota last weekend crying as she was arrested on Thursday.

A previous version of the image, also posted by an official government account, showed her looking forward calmly.

The New York Times ran the image posted by Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, as well as the one posted by the White House through an A.I. detection system. It concluded that the White House’s version showed signs of manipulation.

SEEING IS BELIEVING

DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite.

📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported.

DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

An attempted traffic stop by two ICE agents did not involve the man they ultimately shot in north Minneapolis.

Details from a FBI agent's sworn affidavit contradict what DHS officials initially stated — and later repeated for several days — about the highly charged encounter.

Update on the man in this photo. He was driven around and released about an hour late, because he’s a fucking US citizen! Outrageous.

My point stands. ICE dragged this man out thinking he was undocumented and KNOWING FULL WELL that he would be deported in a blanket, boxers and crocs.
