White House Posts AI-Altered Protester Image

On Thursday morning, amid unrest in the Twin Cities after the ICE killing of Renee Good, the Trump White House posted an artificial intelligence–altered image of anti-ICE protester Nekima Levy Armstrong in police custody. A Guardian analysis confirmed the White House image was digitally altered from an earlier photo posted by DHS secretary Kristi Noem, and the post provoked gleeful, sadistic responses while raising moderation concerns.
