LOADING ERROR LOADINGMINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota activist who was charged for her role in an anti-immigration enforcement protest at a church released her own video of her arrest Friday after the White House posted a manipulated image online. The White House on Thursday posted a picture on its X page of civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong crying with her hands behind her back as she was escorted by a blurred person wearing a badge. “Why are you recording?” Levy Armstrong asked. At no point in the more than seven-minute video ― which shows Levy Armstrong being handcuffed and led into a government vehicle ― did Levy Armstrong appear to cry. In an audio message that Levy Armstrong’s spokesperson shared with The Associated Press, Levy Armstrong said the video of her arrest exposes that the Trump administration had used AI to manipulate images of her arrest.
