DHS officials admit to pre-screening reporter questions on the border, but won't do it again

The Biden administration says it will not pre-screen reporter questions in future briefings after Friday virtual briefing on the border crisis.

But instead of following normal press conference protocol of reporters spontaneously asking questions, the officials used a new system that forced reporters to submit written questions, which were read aloud by officials and answered, allowing officials to pre-screen the questions.

A question submitted by Fox News asking for confirmation of reports that an unaccompanied minor migrant child had died in U.S. custody was not answered in the briefing.
