there is no current word on their condition as the situation is evolving, but i am expecting both to be dead and hope to be wrong. either way, ICE nazis are committed to upholding fascism at the expense of human lives. we are more unsafe now than we’ve been before in this administration. ICE does not view any of us as exceptions. we will be slaughtered if Der Führer demands it.
Its not a lie, there’s a formal point system to determine whether someone is associated with Tren de Aragua. 8 points means they’re definitely a part of the gang.
It’s 3 points for being in the US without documentation, 6 points for associating with any known members and 2 points for any social media posts containing “associated references”.
Practically every Venezuelan is part of the gang according to the DoJ. So it’s not a lie, just guilt by association.
It is a lie, it’s just a lie built on a system designed to lie. No rational person who is genuinely seeking to understand whether or not someone is a member of that gang would read that list and agree with it.
I mean, we’ve seen how their “proof” “works” with MS13 as well:
