New York Post reporter resigns, saying she was 'ordered' to write 'incorrect' story on Kamala Harris' book at a migrant shelter

A New York Post reporter who authored a story falsely claiming that migrant children were being given copies of Vice President Kamala Harris' children's book announced on Tuesday that she'd been "ordered" to write the "incorrect" story and resigned from the paper.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Post temporarily deleted Italiano's two stories on the topic and republished altered versions hours later with editor's notes.

"An announcement: Today I handed in my resignation to my editors at the New York Post," Laura Italiano tweeted on Tuesday evening. "The Kamala Harris story — an incorrect story I was ordered to write and which I failed to push back hard enough against — was my breaking point."
