A senior Department of Homeland Security official has been caught publishing wildly inaccurate information about the violent arrest of an American teenager. Last month, the Daily Beast exposed how DHS Deputy Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, Interior Secretary Kristi Noem’s top communications official, had falsely smeared a mother who lost her baby while being held by ICE as a wanted murderer. This time, McLaughlin was caught claiming that the footage of a teenage girl being violently detained on Friday was a year-old video of the Chicago Police Department apprehending a thief.
