Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in a post published Thursday on X, shared an image of the arrest of Nekima Levy Armstrong. Levy Armstrong participated in a protest inside a church in St. Paul, Minnesota, against crackdowns led by Immigration and Custom Enforcement. In the image, she displays a calm, neutral facial expression while she is guided by a law enforcement officer, her hands apparently handcuffed behind her back.
Just half an hour later, the White House released a similar image, but a couple of things were different. Levy Armstrong, who is Black, appears to have darker skin, and her face shows distress: She appears to be weeping, with strikingly prominent tears seemingly streaming down her face.
