I am unshocked.
Newly released emails reveal that top officials in the Trump administration went to great lengths to falsely label Kilmar Abrego Garcia as an MS-13 gang leader. This effort unfolded even as the administration faced mounting pressure to return Garcia to the U.S. after wrongly deporting him to El Salvador.
The emails, handed over to Congress by a whistleblower from the Justice Department, shed new light on the administrations desperate attempts to create a case against Garcia, despite a lack of evidence. These emails expose how the Trump team was determined to brand Garcia as a dangerous criminal, even though they knew the claim was baseless.

(17,295 posts)It might have been a legitimate error at first, but Trump wasn't going to admit that. I hope the backlash from this shakes the administration to it's core, but don't really expect that to happen. Between this and the Epstein files, things should start getting interesting, though.

Link to tweet
Judge Holmes said the governments evidence of Abregos MS-13 membership consists of general statements, all double hearsay, from two cooperating witnesses. She said those statements, in turn, are contradicted by another witness who, the judge wrote, said that in ten years of acquaintance with Abrego, there were no signs or markings, including tattoos, indicating that Abrego is an MS-13 member. Given the conflicting evidence, the judge wrote, the governments evidence of Abregos alleged gang membership is simply insufficient.
