The Department of Homeland Security said a child, whom Minnesota Democrats alleged had been targeted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was actually "abandoned" during an immigration enforcement operation.
After Democrats, including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., shared an image of a 5-year-old boy online and claimed he was arrested by ICE while coming home from pre-school, the White House fired back in a statement to Fox News Digital. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson condemned what the Trump administration views as the mainstream media working "hand-in-glove with Democrats to spread malicious lies about ICE operations."
"It’s shameful that the media so quickly runs with the fake Democrat narrative without first getting the facts," Jackson said. "Here’s the reality: ICE officers work heroically with the utmost professionalism to make American communities safer. In this instance, they stayed with a child who was abandoned by his father — an illegal alien from Ecuador."
"The media’s lies have consequences — assaults against ICE officers have increased by 1300% because of dangerous smears against them by elected Democrats that are amplified by the press," she added. "The Trump Administration is not only removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens from the country, but we are also locating the countless migrant children that Joe Biden lost. Thanks to the Administration’s efforts well over 120,000 children have been located."
The comments come as a photo is circulating online purportedly showing a young boy wearing a bunny-shaped winter hat standing next to a black vehicle, with an adult’s hand placed on his backpack.
Columbia Heights Public Schools Superintendent Zena Stenvik said the boy had been taken by federal agents from a running car while it had been in the family's driveway...

The Left just keeps throwing lies out there, don’t they?
They’re just like the Arabs in Gaza. They never stop with their lies, hate, and violence.
Then the child is also an illegal alien ...
Probably thousands of parents get arrested every week. The cops don’t just leave the kids to fend for themselves. But it makes for a cool story even if it is fake.
I hope that TDS does not infect the good judgment needed to do what is right for the United States.
Assuming the child was abndoned by an illegal parent,what happens to the child? If a child was coming home from school & is the child of an illegal, why should he even have been going to the particular school? Or are there schools here especially for illegal children?
That's a very good question. The child is an illegal alien. An adult illegal alien should be deported. No question. I don't have a good answer for abandoned 5 year old illegal aliens.
Yep the commie media does the same in regards to the IDF, they take the side of Hamas and believe every lie they spew because they hate Israel..they do the same with ICE, when Obama ran ICE he would send ICE agents into schools, restaurants, office buildings, malls, you name it they went there, ZERO complaints, ZERO
Another RAT “immigrant” SOB story.
The child had been taken from a running car? Huh?
Sorry! More clarity is needed here.
Been leaked that some of the low level criminals are turning on the big turds. Remember, the one who makes a deal first makes the best deal.
The White House and DHS is not “pushing back” on anything. They’re just pointing out that the illegal immigrant p*ssy ran off and abandoned his child like illegal immigrant p*ssies do and ICE did what non-p*ssies do and made sure the child was safe and secure.
Then the child is also an illegal alien ...
Unless the mother is a US citizen. Don't think the article said whether she was or not.
I’m so glad ICE has taken care of all the violent criminals so they can now focus on abandoned children.
