The publication said it gave Torres multiple opportunities to take responsibility and improve, insisting his departure had nothing to do with its immigration coverage.
“The rumor that we’ve turned our back on ICE coverage is a lie. And a dangerous one,” the statement said.
But according to the outlet, sources have raised questions about Torres’ coverage of Democratic state Sen. Sasha Renee Pérez, 34, including allegations that the pair had a personal relationship while he reported on her political agenda.
The most serious allegation is that Pérez was allowed to edit and write portions of stories published under Torres’ byline.
