ICE just slammed a false report by a local Fox 9 station of a hoax designed to put ICE officers in danger. The hoax, which never happened, claimed they sexually assaulted and detained a Somali-born American Citizen for 24 hours.
Here’s the report by Fox 9 in Minneapolis:
DHS responded and said it’s a hoax and it never happened:
Another hoax. It’s disgusting the media would run with anonymous unnamed allegations. ICE did not arrest or sexually assault a Somali U.S. citizen. These types of smears are leading to our officers facing a more than 1,050% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats.
As MadOx pointed out on X, they reported this with NO evidence whatsoever. And as soon as the reporting went public, “a GoFundMe that popped up faster than the video went viral.”
It really is shameful reporting and there’s no excuse for it.
