New York Times torched for ‘FALSE’ reporting on ICE investigations, outlet fires back

The Department of Homeland Security and The New York Times are going toe-to-toe after the agency accused the outlet of "false" reporting alleging that federal agents across the country were told that the FBI would not be investigating confrontations with ICE officers.

The agency said that "the relationship between DHS and [the Justice Department] in investigating assault on federal officer cases has NOT changed, and [the FBI] will continue to investigate in accordance with agency policy."

"This administration has been clear, anyone who assaults law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," DHS added.

In response, Danielle Rhoades Ha, a spokesperson for The New York Times, said the outlet stands by its reporting, telling Fox News Digital, "We're confident in the accuracy of our reporting, which revealed that Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the F.B.I. would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents."
