White House Posts Photo Altered to Show Arrested Minnesota Protester Crying

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.

When asked about its post, the White House pointed to a message on X from Kaelan Dorr, the deputy communications director, who wrote, "Enforcement of the law will continue. The memes will continue."
