Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused CBS News of “deceptively” editing her interview on Sunday’s edition of “Face the Nation,” including comments she made about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran national who was deported and later returned to the U.S., and about the approximately 5,000 “illegal aliens” that DHS arrested in Los Angeles earlier this year.
In a statement released on Sunday, DHS said CBS “deceptively” and “selectively” edited the secretary’s answers, cutting about four minutes, or 23%, from the nearly 17-minute interview when it aired on the Sunday show.
