"The White House published an image on X in which the face of a protester had been altered using AI to depict her weeping during her arrest - instead of striking a stoic pose, as she actually looked during the event. The woman in the image, civil rights attorney and organizer Nekima Levy Armstrong, was arrested this week after interrupting a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota."
"Levy Armstrong and other protesters are now being charged with federal conspiracy and intimidation charges, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Trump Administration officials have repeatedly characterized the protest as a "riot" and an attack on Christian worshipers; speaking to CNN on Wednesday before her arrest, Levy Armstrong defended the action as a "peaceful nonviolent demonstration." On Thursday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem published a photo on X of Levy Armstrong's arrest."
A White House post on X used AI to alter a protester’s face to show her weeping during an arrest, while the original photo showed a stoic expression. The protester is civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong, arrested after interrupting a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota. Protesters called for a pastor’s resignation, alleging he is the acting director of a local ICE field office. Levy Armstrong and others face federal conspiracy and intimidation charges, according to DHS. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem posted the unaltered photo showing bright pink lipstick; the White House image added tears, removed the lipstick, and overlaid accusatory text while keeping the same body positioning and background.
