The Homeland Security secretary used the grisly story last summer to justify the agencys targeted immigration enforcement, offering an example of the kind of deranged individuals that are on our streets in America, that were trying to target and get out of our country.
Sitting alongside President Trump at a press conference at the so-called Alligator Alcatraz detention center in Florida, she said ICE, which is under the umbrella of the DHS, had detained a cannibal and put him on a plane to take him home, and while they had him in his seat, he started to eat himself.
She repeated the falsehood during a Fox News interview, telling Jesse Watters that he was literally eating his own arms. She then added more detail, claiming: He called himself a cannibal and ate other people and ate himself that day.
Now, three officials, one from her department, have rubbished the story and said they were never able to find any records to back her claims up. That is completely made up, a senior federal law enforcement official told The Intercept. That never happened....
