Last week, the British tabloid “Daily Mail” reported that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is backing a proposal for a reality series where immigrants compete for a fast-track to U.S. citizenship.
On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a statement shutting down the report called “Fake News Friday”.
Quote, “This is completely false. Daily Mail’s ‘reporting’ is an affront to journalism. Secretary Noem has not ‘backed’ nor is even aware of the pitch of any scripted or reality show.
“DHS receives hundreds of television show pitches a year, ranging from documentaries surrounding ICE and CBP border operations to white collar investigations.
“Each proposal undergoes a thorough vetting process prior to denial or approval. This pitch has not received approval or rejection by staff.”
