  • On 31 January 2017, just days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order Times.com.mx published an article appearing to report that an Islamic State leader was captured as a result of President Donald Trump's 27 January 2017 executive order on immigration, earning profuse apologies from former Attorney General Sally Yates as a result: According to the story, Yates' apology was issued via self-deleting messaging application Snapchat (making it impossible to substantiate) and Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey said that the FBI was waiting to release an official press statement. The photograph published with the story came from 2009, and shows Najibullah Zazi, not Rasheed Muhammad, who does not appear to exist. Times.com.mx's claim that an Islamic State operative named Rasheed Muhammed was captured at Kennedy airport in the wake of the entry ban is not the first time the site has spread fake news. Also in January 2017, the outlet reported that drug kingpin El Chapo donated millions of dollars to the campaign of Hillary Clinton. This, too, was false. The site is one of several that mimics the web addresses and graphics of mainstream news organizations in order to more effectively spread hoaxes. (en)
