Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her department have been accused of lying to the public after being caught passing off an old photo of a drug boat to promote Trump’s war on narco-terrorists.
On Monday, the DHS News account posted a photo on X designed to discredit Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who had accused Trump of murdering an innocent fisherman in an attack on a boat the U.S. claimed was run by drug smugglers.
