We make jokes about this sometimes because it’s laughable. But when journalists try to make sense of the nonsensical, rational out of the irrational, and coherence out of the incoherence, they affirmatively do the public interest great harm.

Remember that the ICE agents claimed they were looking for a totally different person before they smashed this guy’s car windows? And how he had asylum already?
Well, looks like that might not have even been a ruse. ICE didn’t even file a notice to appear in court, they clearly had nothing on him.

![At a hearing this week, the case against Méndez was thrown out after Department of Homeland Security (DHS) attorneys failed to present a charging document.
"The judge said, I'm going to deem this a failure to prosecute and the case is closed, dismissed," Méndez's attorney, Ondine Galvez Sniffin, told
NBC 10. "That's it."
Sniffin said the DHS attorney did not say a single word.
"He could have said, Your honor, we'll be filing [charges] within the hour.' Could have asked for a second call. Could have said they reserve the right to appeal," she said. "Absolute silence.
