The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) attacked The Washington Post over a report about footage of immigration operations the outlet characterized as misleading. <\/p>\n
The Post reported Wednesday that an August DHS post, in which a department staffer says that federal officers were on the job<\/a> \u201cday and night to arrest, detain and deport vicious criminals from our nation\u2019s capital,\u201d featured multiple clips from operations months prior and outside the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat a dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate piece from @WashingtonPost,\u201d the DHS wrote in a post<\/a> Wednesday on social platform X, featuring a screenshot of a report from the Post.<\/p>\n \u201dBrutal assaults, and attacks by antifa terrorists have surged against our officers for months now, and the Washington Post has completely ignored them,\u201d the department added. <\/p>\n Clips of operations, such as those used in the DHS video in question, have been used by administration officials in a minimum of six pro-President Trump immigration agenda videos put out within the last three months, according to the Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dan Lamothe, a journalist for the Post, shot back at the DHS in a post Wednesday on X, saying that the DHS\u2019s post<\/a> \u201cincludes only a Washington Post headline.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHere’s the actual story, laying out detailed reporting with receipts,\u201d Lamothe added, featuring a link to the report.<\/p>\n Since Trump\u2019s return to office in January, the administration has heavily cracked down on immigration, increasing raids across the country.<\/p>\n Last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons said New York City would experience a higher rate<\/a> of immigration arrests in the wake of protesters confronting officers amid an operation.<\/p>\n \u201cYou will see an increase in ICE arrests because there are so many criminals and illegal aliens that have been released in New York, specifically,\u201d Lyons said on Fox News.<\/p>\n Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., among other cities, have also been<\/a> targeted by the administration<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Hill has reached out to the Post for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) attacked The Washington Post over a report about footage of immigration operations ...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1431,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globaltaalenthq.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1429"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globaltaalenthq.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globaltaalenthq.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globaltaalenthq.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globaltaalenthq.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1429"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/globaltaalenthq.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1429\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1430,"href":"https:\/\/globaltaalenthq.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1429\/revisions\/1430"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globaltaalenthq.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globaltaalenthq.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globaltaalenthq.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globaltaalenthq.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
