Fact Check: Was Anthony Fauci Arrested by U.S. Special Forces?

A viral article from Real Raw News, which describes itself as exploring “content often avoided by the mainstream media,” claims that Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was arrested by special forces on Saturday afternoon. 

According to the article: “Special Forces in civilian vehicles discretely tailed Fauci’s car to an underground parking garage near the hotel and made their move. They boxed him in, drew weapons, and ordered Fauci’s guards to toss their firearms out the window. 

“Fauci’s security complied, and Special Forces dragged Fauci from the vehicle, subdued him, and carted him off for processing.”

These are false claims.
