Was Photo Of Migrant Mother ‘Fleeing Tear Gas’ With Children At U.S. Border Staged? [CORRECTION]

CORRECTION: According to US Customs and Border Protection, border agents indeed “deployed tear gas to dispel the group” after “migrants threw projectiles at the agents.” The Reuters photographer who took the photo, Kim Kyung-Hoon, said it “absolutely is not the case” that the photo was staged, noting that Reuters has guidelines prohibiting photographers from making “material alterations or staging scenes.” Maria Meza, the migrant woman fleeing in the photo, told BuzzFeed News that she and her children inhaled tear gas.

It should not have been published as is and does not meet the editorial standards of The Daily Wire. It is being preserved only so that those directed to this link from outside sources will encounter this correction.
