President Trump on Friday tore into media outlets for twisting a comment he made this week about MS-13 "Animals," while the Homeland Security secretary said Democratic lawmakers who did the same should apologize.
"Fake News Media had me calling Immigrants, or Illegal Immigrants, 'Animals.' Wrong! They were begrudgingly forced to withdraw their stories," Trump tweeted.
Some outlets have walked back that characterization, given Trump made the remark after Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims lamented how California policies could restrict the fight against MS-13.
A number of outlets glossed over the MS-13 context, stating that Trump was talking about all illegal immigrants.
The New York Times tweeted that Trump "Lashed out at undocumented immigrants.calling those trying to breach the country's borders 'animals.'" The Associated Press deleted a tweet that made a similar representation of his remarks.
DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen also defended Trump on "Fox & Friends" Friday, blasting Democratic politicians she said also missed the point.
Figures from Immigration and Customs Enforcement document a surge in arrests related to MS-13 since Trump came into office.
