President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem each said Tuesday the administration is looking into whether it can prosecute CNN over its reporting of both an app that alerts people of Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity, and the recent bombings of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
On Monday, CNN reported that a new iPhone app named ICEBlock lets users post sightings of ICE officers in their area.
Todd Lyons, ICE acting director, was quick to criticize the network, telling Newsmax’s Rob Schmitt that CNN’s promotion of the app was “disgusting” and warning that the platform puts law enforcement officers in danger.
While visiting South Florida to tour “Alligator Alcatraz” on Tuesday, Trump and Noem were asked about CNN’s reporting of ICEBlock.
“We’re working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that because what they’re doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement, activities, operations,” Noem said while standing next to Trump.
“We’re going to actually go after them and prosecute them with the partnership of [Attorney General] Pam [Bondi] if we can because what they’re doing we believe is illegal.”
