Homeland Security Secretary Noem says CNN may be prosecuted over report on migration app

U.S. President Trump visits Florida

(Reuters) -U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Tuesday that she is working with the Justice Department to see if CNN can be prosecuted for reporting on a phone app that alerts users to sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in their area.

President Donald Trump said CNN may very well be prosecuted for giving publicity to the app. Noem and Trump spoke to reporters as they toured a migrant detention encampment in Ochopee, Florida.
