Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said during a Monday interview she believes that CNN could be legally liable for promoting an app that tracks Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, thereby alerting illegal immigrants and helping them evade capture and deportation.
Noem’s comments come on the heels of previous remarks by U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi who also said this week in response to the CNN report that she will be looking into whether the network violated any federal laws by featuring the app in a report.
“Okay, a 700% increase against agents and you’ve got groups that are — and I had Pam Bondi on about this last night, they are warning people,” Fox News host Sean Hannity said on Monday to begin his segment with Noem.
“Are they not aiding and abetting in law-breaking? Are they not responsible for obstructing justice? And she was very open into looking into the criminality of it, or potential criminality of it,” he asked.
