CNN deleted a post depicting alleged terrorists, Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, who are believed to have ties to ISIS, as innocent teenagers enjoying the warm weather in New York City. The post stated that their lives changed when they were arrested for throwing improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at demonstrators outside Gracie Mansion, the home of Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani. New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch described the incident as "an act of ISIS-inspired terrorism". The post was later deleted by CNN, stating it failed to reflect the gravity of the incident and violated editorial standards.
