Trump claimed that a gang is committing crimes in US at the direction of Venezuela’s government- which is why he invoked wartime law to deport people whom officials suspected of belonging to that group.
But our intelligence agencies find otherwise.

Intelligence Assessment Said to Contradict Trump on Venezuelan Gang

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.
She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.
This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.
