ICE accuses Politico reporter of ‘inciting violence against federal agents’

Valletta said:

A lot of journalists are arrogant even though I would bet the majority of them have never done serious investigative reporting. This guy got a list of addresses, went out there himself, and also talked to people there. He gets a local who has never seen children there in all the years he has been in the neighborhood. Much more than your average boiler plate "reporter."

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) claimed Tuesday that Politico reporter Josh Gerstein was “inciting violence against federal agents.”
Gerstein, a senior legal affairs reporter at the outlet, said Monday on the social platform X, “At some point, the amateur effort to knock on doors of home daycares intersects with robust stand-your-ground laws.”

There is an ongoing plea directed at the left to tone down the violent rhetoric because it could push someone on the fringe into a violent act.

Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth said Monday that her caucus steered YouTube creator Nick Shirley to day care sites in Minnesota. Those featured in his widely viewed video have been part of a state-administered child care program using federal money, although some recently had operations or payments suspended.​

​

...Gov. Tim Walz has said payments are suspended when fraud is suspected. Broader examinations of suspicious billing claims are in progress. Demuth is among the Republicans challenging Walz in the governor's race.​

​

University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Kirtley said the video is flashy, but not meaty. There aren’t a lot of facts to back up the claims.​

​

“It’s a lot of rhetoric with relatively little substance behind it,” Kirtley said.​
