A reasonable news outlet would call CBP for a comment.
Something like "attempts to reach CBP for comment were unsuccessful." goes a long way. It's a tell that they don't. The story is too good not to print.
CBP does comment on these when asked! The previous one of these that went around even has a Snopes page with paragraphs of comments from DHS officials.
