led on the story that U.S. Customs and Border Protection, part of DHS, funded pro‑Trump television ads with $20 million, citing the Wall Street Journal. abc News led on the same $20 million figure and the use of a DHS “commemorative events” account. Five digests, The Record, Hamilton Spectator, Seattle Times, PBS and El Paso Inc, also reported the $20 million allocation.","CNBC added that the $20 million contract was awarded to Maryland‑based LMD Agency for a “National Media Campaign” and noted that Democrats and at least one Republican senator questioned the spending. abc News reported a White House spokesperson describing the spots as public‑service announcements and cited an AdImpact estimate of $1.7 million spent on three ads.","All ten digests omitted the contract award to LMD Agency, the White House spokesperson’s comment, and the $1.7 million ad‑spending estimate.

WBAL quoted Democratic senators Patty Murray and Chris Murphy, who sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin demanding answers.","Deltaplex News and MyClallamCounty.com reported that the ads began airing after a contract was awarded to the LMD Agency.
