Excerpt:
Just 24 hours before a shooter opened fire on an ICE vehicle in Dallas, killing two and wounding a third, NBC News ran a hoax accusing ICE agents of holding hostage a 5-year-old girl in order to “pressure” her criminal suspect father to surrender.
NBC News’ Matt Lavietes wrote that “Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents held a 5-year-old autistic girl outside her Massachusetts home to pressure her father to surrender to authorities last week, according to the girl’s family.”
The story quoted the 5-year-old’s mother as saying: “They took my daughter, she’s 5-years-old. She has autism spectrum. … Give me my daughter back.”
The woman, who asked not to be identified, told an NBC affiliate that her husband “managed to run back into the parking lot of my house, but they grabbed” the 5-year-old.
