CHICAGO - Fox News reported that a man killed by an off-duty FBI agent at a homeless encampment in Chicago was a Biden-era border release, according to federal law enforcement sources the outlet cited. In its Fox News report, the headline identifies the man as Venezuelan and says he was "caught and released" under the Biden administration.
The report's summary describes the man the same way, as a Biden-era border release, although the headline and summary use different wording. Fox News attributes both descriptions to federal law enforcement sources, and the material available for this story does not name those sources.
The available material does not say when the man was released, where he was first encountered, or how he came to be killed. It also does not include a comment from any agency or official addressing the claims.
The report carries no author name in the record reviewed. As summarized, the Fox News report is the only account of these details available for this story, so the claims about the man's immigration history rest on the outlet's anonymous sources as described.
The claims have not been independently confirmed in the materials used for this story. They are presented here as Fox News's reporting, based on the sources the outlet described.
