The White House Confirms It Altered Photo of Arrested Protester to Depict Her Sobbing: The Memes Will Continue'
"CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale reported, The White House has confirmed its official X account posted a fake image of a woman arrested in Minnesota after interrupting a service at a church where an ICE official appears to be a pastor. Dale continued, The White House image altered the actual photo to wrongly make it seem like the defendant was sobbing."
"On Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI arrested a civil rights attorney who took part in the protest on a Minnesota church. So far, we have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, Bondi wrote. We will share more updates as they become available. Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP."
Officials confirmed that the White House X account posted an altered image that made a Minnesota protester appear to be sobbing while being escorted by police. CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale identified the alteration. A White House spokesperson's X post said, 'Enforcement of the law will continue. The memes will continue.' Attorney General Pam Bondi announced arrests by DHS and the FBI, naming Nekima Levy Armstrong and two others and alleging Armstrong helped organize the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted a nearly identical photo showing Armstrong appearing calm. Observers suggested AI may have produced the difference between photos.
