Kari Lake to Newsmax: Yank Licenses of Stations Reporting ICE Movements

Radio stations that report on the movements of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents should have their broadcast licenses “yanked,” Kari Lake, nominee for director of Voice of America, told Newsmax on Friday.

“I actually first heard about it about a week ago when I was here on Newsmax, and you played the sound from that radio clip, and it was literally describing what the ICE agents were driving, down to the detail, to warn people,” Lake said on “Newsline.” “They were putting these law enforcement officers and ICE agents’ lives at risk by putting out this information, and this radio station was aiding and abetting criminals, and I believe that they should have their license yanked. How dare they do that?”

“These licenses are given out to radio stations and television stations, and we’re finding out that a lot of these media outlets have been lying to us — misleading us — and now we’re learning that they’re getting money from our own taxpayer dollars that are going to some of these outlets,” she said. “It’s reprehensible what’s happening.”
