Noem accuses CBS of ‘deceptively’ editing interview about Abrego Garcia

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem criticized CBS News for omitting details about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal acts, including human smuggling, assault, and child exploitation.

  • On Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appeared on CBS's Face The Nation to defend deportation efforts involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia, while CBS excised nearly 30 seconds from her answer, omitting her detailed accusations and leading Noem to criticize the edit as a whitewash.
  • The Department of Homeland Security moved earlier this month to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda after a court order blocked his return to El Salvador, but last week U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis put the deportation on hold pending a hearing.
  • A federal grand jury in Tennessee recently indicted Kilmar Abrego Garcia on conspiracy and unlawful transportation counts; he is held in an ICE detention center in Virginia pending human smuggling trial.
  • Facing intense backlash, CBS News released the full interview on YouTube hours before Secretary Kristi Noem's critique on X, drawing comparisons to a $16 million settlement last month.
  • The episode adds to scrutiny of CBS amid earlier editing controversies, as critics say the cut deprived viewers of key facts shaping views on immigration enforcement and public safety, intensifying political pressure following President Donald Trump's attacks on media editing.
