DHS Chief Kristi Noem announced plans to prosecute CNN for aiding illegal immigration during a tour of the “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention facility in Florida on Tuesday. She accused the left-wing outlet of promoting an app that tracks Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, undermining law enforcement efforts.
Noem, joined by President Trump and Governor Ron DeSantis, stated she is collaborating with the Department of Justice to investigate CNN’s actions, alleging the app encourages illegal immigrants to evade ICE operations.
Infowars.com reports: While President Donald Trump and Noem were taking questions at the Florida illegal alien facility Tuesday, Reporter Benny Johnson asked them about CNN’s coverage of the app.
“We’re working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that. What they’re doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activities and operations,” Noem said. “What they’re doing, we believe, is illegal.”
Trump added that CNN may also be prosecuted for putting out false reports regarding his strike on Iran.
CNN wrote about the app on Monday:
Joshua Aaron has worked in and around the tech industry for around two decades. He built his first app — a blackjack game — at computer camp when he was 13.
His newest app is designed for a very different purpose: to let users alert people nearby to sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in their area.
Aaron launched the platform, called ICEBlock, in early April after watching President Donald Trump’s administration begin its immigration crackdown.
President Trump also asked the DOJ to look into arresting the former secretary of DHS, Alejandro Mayorkas for aiding and abetting the illegal alien invasion of America.
