President Donald Trump on July 1 suggested that CNN should face possible prosecution both for reporting on a mobile app that alerts users to sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and for publishing a leaked intelligence assessment about U.S. military strikes in Iran—a stance echoed by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who said she is working with the Justice Department to explore legal action against the network.
Trump and Noem made their comments during a visit to a detention center for illegal immigrants in Ochopee, Florida, where they were asked by reporters about border czar Tom Homan’s recent remarks suggesting CNN should potentially face prosecution for its coverage of the app.
