"Roberts began by comparing The Times' headline Federal agent shoots immigrant in Minneapolis, Homeland Security says with the lengthy statement released by the Department of Homeland Security that went into detail about the officer being ambushed and attacked by three immigrants. Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life. The original subject was hit in the leg, Roberts read from the DHS statement before returning to The Times piece."
"He continued on about Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) and ICE shooting victim Renee Good. They couldn't wait to rush to judgment, just the way Jacob Frey immediately called the shooting of Renee Good, murder. I have to say the most pernicious lie that is driving a lot of this and it's being abetted by the media and it's being escalated online is this idea that ICE is driving around in Minneapolis and dragooning citizens, American citizens, out of their cars."
A Times headline read "Federal agent shoots immigrant in Minneapolis, Homeland Security says" without contextualizing a DHS claim that the officer was ambushed and attacked by three immigrants. The DHS statement said the officer feared for his life and fired a defensive shot, wounding the original subject in the leg. The Times later added more detail to the article. Commentators criticized perceived media rushes to judgment and called efforts claiming ICE is abducting U.S. citizens in Minneapolis a pernicious lie that is being abetted and escalated online.
