The Department of Homeland Security delivered a scathing rebuke to Los Angeles media outlet KTLA for what officials called "dishonest reporting" about an immigration enforcement operation at a North Hills church food drive, exposing yet another example of mainstream media manipulation under the Trump administration's renewed border security efforts.

The controversy erupted after KTLA claimed federal agents "stormed" the United Methodist Church during a community food giveaway, painting a picture of jackbooted federal thugs terrorizing innocent churchgoers. But DHS wasn't having any of the legacy media's spin.

According to the federal agency's response, agents did NOT target the church or its parking lot, directly contradicting KTLA's inflammatory narrative designed to make Trump's deportation efforts look brutal and un-American.

"🚨@DHSgov just called out KTLA for 'dishonest reporting' on an immigration arrest in North Hills! KTLA claimed federal agents stormed a church during a food giveaway, devastating the community... But DHS says: Agents did NOT target the United Methodist Church or its parking," posted @ins_lines on social media.

Social media users quickly amplified the Department's pushback against the fake news narrative. "BREAKING: DHS calls out KTLA for their LIES about immigration arrest yesterday on church grounds," posted @William84323054, highlighting how quickly patriots are now fact-checking the mainstream media's anti-Trump propaganda.

This incident perfectly illustrates the media's playbook: take a legitimate law enforcement operation targeting a previously deported illegal alien and spin it into an attack on religious freedom and community charity. It's the same tired script they've been running since Trump first took office.

Under the Trump-Vance administration's aggressive deportation agenda, we can expect more of these dishonest media attacks as ICE and Border Patrol do the job Americans elected them to do - removing criminal illegal aliens who have already been deported once.

How many more times will the legacy media get caught red-handed lying about immigration enforcement before Americans completely tune them out?

Finally! Thank you DHS for setting the record straight. KTLA should be ashamed for spreading false narratives just to push their agenda.

Exactly! The mainstream media can't help themselves when it comes to immigration stories.

This reminds me of what happened in my neighborhood last year - media showed up after an immigration arrest and completely twisted the story to make ICE look bad. Glad DHS is fighting back against these lies!

I've been saying this for years - these so-called 'sanctuary' locations aren't above the law. If someone has an outstanding warrant or deportation order, ICE has every right to enforce it regardless of where they are.

Does anyone know if KTLA will issue a correction or retraction? Seems like they should face some consequences for this dishonest reporting.

Don't hold your breath. They never admit when they're wrong about this stuff.
