Yet another fake outrage story about an ICE arrest — A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent was arrested and faces federal charges after a news anchor told police that he originally approached her asking to be a source, telling her he had material she would need for her stories. "Then all of a sudden it turned inappropriate and he was texting me things that made me uncomfortable," the anchor told the police. (AP Photo/LM Otero, File) | LM Otero

The Phoenix New Times published a supposedly shocking story this week implying that members of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency targeted an undocumented transgender person in Arizona.

As it turns out, though, the supposed victim in this story also has two outstanding assault warrants. This is not even mentioned until the 11th paragraph of the article in question.
