Three federal law enforcement officials, including one senior official within the Department of Homeland Security, say DHS Secretary Kristi Noem fabricated a story about a cannibal on an ICE deportation flight.
"It is completely false," one senior law enforcement official familiar with the matter told The Intercept. Two other officials said there was no evidence the incident ever occurred. One described the account as "obviously utterly false" while another said bluntly: "that never happened."
