@nytimes @lpolgreen is lying, falsely claiming in this Jan 19 (note dates) article that ICE detained Native Americans w/tribal IDs

In para 29, she links to a Jan 12 @StarTribune @grove article accurately reporting tribal leaders’ claims.

One would imagine that @DHSgov would be checking records to identify any detainee who might match any description of the missing persons.

@StarTribune @grove @DHSgov Here’s an @AP story from Jan 13.

@StarTribune @grove @DHSgov @AP However, at some point, the federal government’s inability to identify any detainee who might be missing from the tribe would prompt follow-up to the tribal leaders who initially came forward.

@StarTribune @grove @DHSgov @AP So it became clear that, whatever happened to the tribal members, there was zero evidence whatsoever of any federal government involvement.

@StarTribune @grove @DHSgov @AP Nevertheless, on Jan 19, three days after @StarTribune published updated stories of tribal leaders pulling back on their previous allegations of ICE detaining tribal members, @nytimes @lpolgreen posted a story - para 29 - that only linked to the Jan 12 story, no update.

@StarTribune @grove @DHSgov @AP @nytimes @lpolgreen No better example of “reckless disregard” per New York Times v. Sullivan (1964).

@christopherrufo

I’m amazed nobody noticed this.

Of course, when the initial report supports the pre-existing narrative, skepticism takes a day off.

@RonDeSantis is right. @ChristinaPushaw
