The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) criticized The New York Times for its coverage of a Minneapolis shooting involving a Venezuelan national who allegedly attacked an ICE officer with a shovel. The Times’ article failed to mention the suspect’s aggressive actions leading up to the shooting, prompting DHS to label the headline as “despicably misleading.” The Times defended its reporting, stating it only publishes facts once independently verified. Both the ICE agent and the suspect are hospitalized, while the attackers are in custody.
