The Department of Homeland Security account expressed strong disagreement with CNN’s reporting on a recent incident, accusing the network of selectively presenting footage and a lawsuit complaint to elicit an emotional response. The DHS account claims the video contradicts CNN’s narrative, suggesting that Border Patrol officers were not “boxed in” and that their vehicle made a maneuver before claiming to have been hit.
