Think of this as your investigation log. Answer each question to explain what you discovered and how you got there.
1. Write a brief overall summary of your findings.
The claim is false. There are no verifiable sources that are saying that ICE is being arrested by NYPD
2. What primary sources did you find (e.g., transcripts, videos of politician speeches, tweets from public figures, scientific studies)? For each source, write at least one or two sentences explaining what you learned. Include all links.
I used the website Factually.co to fact the claim. I learned that the claim started over a short video that has been proven to be AI generated. With todays technology you need to verify every claim because AI is good enough to make realistic looking videos.
3.
No secondary source used
4. What potential biases or interests might each of your sources have?
The source I used can be biased because it relies on left wing sources more so than right wing sources.
5. What evidence supports the claim you are fact-checking?
Multiple news outlets have found the claim to be false.
6. What evidence undermines the claim you are fact-checking?
The video was found to be AI generated so there is no evidence to undermine the claim that it is false.
7. What happened when you tried contacting the person or group who made the original claim? (Always try to contact them—it’s okay if you don’t get a reply. For example, if the claim is that the president said something, try reaching out to the administration. If it was a Bluesky user, message that user on Bluesky.)
