Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem lashed out at journalists during a press briefing in Nashville, Tennessee, Friday, denying widespread evidence that ICE agents are racially profiling people. The reporter is heard saying, ”ICE operations are taking place predominantly in Latino communities…” before being interrupted by Noem.

Reporter: “My audience is predominantly Latino, so they kind of every day say they’re fearful because a lot of people have been targeted based on their skin color, not necessarily” —

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: “That is not true.”

Reporter: — “because of their legal status.”

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: “And so, that has been another false narrative that has been put out there in the media that I absolutely want to throw back at you and say that is absolutely false. And don’t you dare ever say that again.”
