Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, White House border czar Tom Homan, and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller criticized CNN, accusing the network of \u201copenly aiding invaders and insurrectionists in undermining ICE.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While speaking alongside Trump on Tuesday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has commenced an investigation into the legality of the anti-ICE application. \u201cGood idea,\u201d Trump seemed to affirm after a reporter inquired if Noem concurred with Homan\u2019s assertion that CNN should be \u201cprosecuted\u201d for its report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are collaborating with the Department of Justice to determine if we can take legal action against them for that, as their actions are actively encouraging individuals to evade law enforcement activities and operations, and we will indeed pursue them and prosecute them\u2026 if feasible, because we believe their actions are unlawful,\u201d Noem elaborated.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was quick to remind the reporter that he continues to uphold his assertion that CNN broadcast a \u201cfalse report\u201d that minimized the effects of his bombing campaign on Iran\u2019s nuclear enrichment initiatives. \u201cThey were providing completely false reports,\u201d he claimed. \u201cThey may indeed face prosecution for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other members of Trump\u2019s close circle made it clear that they plan to explore every legal option to terminate the app, which allows users to report the whereabouts of ICE agents, notifying others within a five-mile radius to avoid those areas.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Fox News that her office is currently assessing the possibility of filing charges against the app\u2019s creator, Aaron. \u201cOur ICE agents, along with all of our federal agents collaborating on these task forces \u2014 our federal agents from the Justice Department could be at risk,\u201d Bondi stated on Monday during her appearance on \u201cHannity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is sending a message to criminals regarding the locations of our federal officers. This is unacceptable. We are examining the situation, scrutinizing his actions, and he should be cautious, as this does not constitute protected speech. It poses a threat to the safety of our law enforcement personnel across the nation,\u201d she further remarked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, President Donald Trump declared that an investigation will be initiated into CNN following the network\u2019s broadcast of a segment that promoted a smartphone application aimed at notifying users about the activities of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)\u2014potentially assisting individuals in evading detection by federal agents.
