Fox News issued a statement on Tuesday evening in response to Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s comments that the city would sue the network after it erroneously reported on Muslim “no-go zones.”

“We empathize with the citizens of France as they go through a healing process and return to everyday life. However, we find the Mayor’s comments regarding a lawsuit misplaced,” said Fox News EVP Michael Clemente in a written statement to media outlets on Tuesday night.

Following backlash over the reports, Fox News issued several apologies for the mistakes.
