CNN Says There's "Nothing Illegal" About Reporting On ICE Sighting App As Trump Administration Threatens Network With DO [View all]

Source: Deadline

CNN defended its report on a new app that tracks sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in users’ areas.

Trump administration officials have warned the network that it has sought Justice Department guidance to see if the network can be prosecuted over the report, which was published on Monday.

A CNN spokesperson said on Tuesday, “This is an app that is publicly available to any iPhone user who wants to download it. There is nothing illegal about reporting the existence of this or any other app, nor does such reporting constitute promotion or other endorsement of the app by CNN.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told reporters on Tuesday that “we’re working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute [CNN] for that. What they are doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activities and operations. We are actually going to go after them and prosecute them.” She did not say which law she believed that CNN had violated.
