The White House used its social media presence to share at least one image of an alleged anti-ICE protester, which was altered by artificial intelligence.
In an announcement on Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed that the DOJ "arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota."
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem shared a photo of Armstrong being arrested on X.
The White House's social media team later altered the image to make Armstrong appear to be crying.
