"On the 5th anniversary of the pro-Trump mob attack on the Capitol, the Trump admin created a new page on the official White House website that represented the president’s most brazen bid yet to rewrite the history of the Jan. 6 riot with false claims aimed at absolving him of responsibility"

DHS now confirming in a. statement that an ICE officer did shoot and kill someone at the site of a raid.
