NextImg:‘This Is Vile’: DHS Tells the AP to Stop With the Pro-Criminal Propaganda

One thing the Department of Homeland Security social media team excels at is calling out the mainstream media, such as on Tuesday, when NBC News reported that ICE agents were holding a 5-year-old autistic girl as "bait" to pressure her illegal immigrant father to turn himself in:

The DHS account was at it again on Wednesday with an AP headline that left it vague whether the ICE officer said the illegal alien's fatal injuries were "not major," or whether the ICE agent said his injuries were not major. See for yourself:

According to ABC7 Chicago:

The Department of Homeland Security said the shooting unfolded on the morning of Sept. 12 when the man they were targeting in a traffic stop drove his car toward officers, hitting one of them.

The bodycam video, obtained from the Franklin Park Police Department through the Freedom of Information Act, shows police officers speaking with witnesses and ICE agents moments after the deadly shooting. And the ICE officer, who shot the man after being hit, described his own injuries as "nothing major."

The shooting happened after, federal authorities say, [Silverio} Villegas-Gonzalez tried to escape arrest by driving away. They say during that alleged escape, "One of the ICE officers was hit by the car and dragged a significant distance. Fearing for his own life, the officer fired his weapon."

DHS said the ICE officer suffered severe injuries and was stabilized at the hospital before being released.

The bodycam video shows how that federal agent, seen with a torn pants leg, described his injuries to responding officers on scene.

"I got dragged a little bit," he says. "Uh, just a left knee injury, and some lacerations. Nothing major."

And that's what the AP took from the story for its headline.

So the headline makes it sound like the ICE agent said an illegal alien's injuries were "nothing major" after he shot and killed him. It's not that difficult to write a headline, AP. "Illegal Alien Shot and Killed After Dragging ICE Agent With His Car."
