President Trump & Kristi Noem Say CNN May Be PROSECUTED

While touring Alligator Alcatraz — Florida’s newest detention center — today, President Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem were asked by Benny Johnson about CNN promoting an app that tracks ICE agents.

Secretary Noem responded by announcing that they are currently working with the DOJ in order to prosecute not only those involved with the app, but CNN as well for promoting it.

President Trump added that CNN may also be prosecuted for their fake news stories on the Iranian nuclear facility strikes.

Watch what they had to say for yourself here:

CNN recently aired a clip promoting an app called ICEBlock, which lets users report sightings of ICE officials to alert illegal aliens as to their locations, hence helping them avoid immigration authorities.

The New York Post explained:

The outlet’s Monday article on the app ICEBlock describes how users can relay sightings of immigration officials — akin to better-known apps that allow users to report locations of speed traps and other police tactics.

Trump has fumed at CNN over its reporting on a “top secret” preliminary assessment of damage to three Iranian nuclear sites following US airstrikes for minimizing the impact.

Journalists can legally report on classified material, but soliciting the material or instructing sources on how to retrieve it has opened the door to federal investigation and punishment.

Secretary Noem shared the original clip from CNN:

This sure looks like obstruction of justice. Our brave ICE law enforcement face a 500% increase in assaults against them.

If you obstruct or assault our law enforcement, we will hunt you down and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. pic.twitter.com/4ZcfrpyRV1

What do you think?

Should CNN be prosecuted for promoting this app that helps illegal aliens evade ICE?

It’s a federal crime. Arrest the app maker and prosecute CNN for promoting his app.
