Right-wing media are mouthpieces for DHS lies about ICE abuses

Amid the Trump administration's increasingly aggressive deportation push, the Department of Homeland Security has repeatedly misrepresented or lied about multiple recent events, only to be contradicted by later evidence. Right-wing media, meanwhile, continue to carry water for the agency's propaganda.

In reporting following two separate incidents in which U.S. citizens were killed at the hands of immigration officials in Minnesota, Fox News, for instance, cited DHS statements that later proved to be false before further information was available.
