Trump Admin Moves to Prosecute CNN Over ICE Tracking App Coverage
Trump Admin Moves to Prosecute CNN Over ICE Tracking App Coverage

Have you ever felt like the mainstream media cares more about protecting criminals than it does about protecting you? It’s a strange world where the supposed “watchdogs” of our democracy spend all their time attacking the very people who keep our country safe.

These outlets have traded their reporter’s notebooks for activist picket signs. They work day and night to undermine our police, our border agents, and our way of life. They twist every story to fit their narrative, no matter how much danger it puts our brave law enforcement officers in.

And if you ever needed proof, look no further than CNN. The network recently ran a glowing report on a new smartphone app called “ICEBlock.” Its purpose is simple and sickening: to help illegal immigrants track and evade our Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The app’s creator even compared our federal agents to Nazis. Instead of condemning this, CNN gave him a national megaphone.

Putting Our Heroes in Danger

This isn’t just irresponsible journalism; it’s a direct threat to our officers. ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons said CNN’s story was “like inviting violence against them with a national megaphone.” He noted that assaults against ICE agents have already surged by a staggering 500%.

Former Border Czar Tom Homan was even more direct. “They’ve crossed the line here, this is out of control,” he said, calling the promotion of the app “disgusting at every level.” This app basically paints a target on the backs of federal agents, and CNN is helping to aim it.

The Administration Strikes Back

Thankfully, President Trump’s administration is not taking this attack lying down. At a press conference, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that they are ready to fight back against the activist network.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

Addressing the press from Florida’s new Alligator Alcatraz detention facility in the Everglades, President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said they are looking into prosecuting CNN for its reporting on ICEBlock, an app that alerts people to sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, as well as for its reporting on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Noem said, “we’re working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that,” when asked about the possibility of a prosecution, “because what they’re doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activities, operations, and we’re going to actually go after them and prosecute with the partnership of Pam [Bondi] if we can, because what they are doing we believe is illegal.”

President Trump stood by her, adding that CNN may also be prosecuted for other “false reports.” With Attorney General Pam Bondi also looking into the matter, it’s clear the administration is finally holding the media accountable for endangering American lives. CNN’s only response was a smug statement claiming there is “nothing illegal about reporting” on the app, completely ignoring the danger they created.

This is more than a story about an app. It’s about a media establishment that sides with lawbreakers over law enforcement. Finally, we have a president who understands that protecting our heroes is non-negotiable.

Key Takeaways

  • CNN promoted a smartphone app designed to help illegal immigrants evade federal law enforcement.
  • This reckless reporting puts ICE agents in real danger, with assaults on officers already up 500%.
  • President Trump’s administration is exploring legal action against CNN for endangering our officers.
  • This represents a crucial stand to hold the activist media accountable for undermining American law.
