ICE lies about 'criminal' Venezuelan immigrants, Texas ICE raided Austin house with innocent children/family

Phang: There’s a Texas Tribune article that reveals that the Trump administration knew the vast majority of the 238 Venezuelan immigrants sent to CECOT in mid-March had not been convicted of crimes in the U.S.—even though the administration wanted to label them as terrorists before deporting them.

THIS IS WHAT THE TRUMP GESTAPO IS DOING…

ICE GESTAPO ARRESTED LEGAL US RESIDENTS WITH LEGAL
RIGHT TO BE IN USA !!

The Venezuelan man arrested with his family said he showed the authorities his legal work permit, Social Security number and papers related to his pending asylum case.

He said the officers told him they meant nothing.

Months after detaining 47 people accused of being Tren de Aragua in Austin, authorities offer no evidence of gang ties

People at the raided house say they rented it for a birthday party and deny any connection to the gang. One man says law enforcement accused him of being in Tren de Aragua because of his tattoo.

HAYS COUNTY — In late March, a group of Venezuelan relatives and friends, celebrating a pair of birthdays, rented a six-bedroom house in the southern tip of Austin with a pool and stunning views from every window of Texas’ Hill Country.

They decorated a table for a cake and blew up balloons. As the night faded, the kids went to bed and the adults kept hanging out.

Suddenly, at about 5 a.m. the next morning, the group heard explosions from flashbangs, followed by shouts from law enforcement yelling commands to get out of the house, according to interviews with two attendees.

“We all started shouting that there were babies — ‘Babies, there’s babies,’” recounted a 30-year-old Venezuelan man, who said he was at the house to celebrate the birthdays of his son, who turned 5, and his best friend, who turned 28.

More……….lots more…..


BUT here is an important sentence…..


But two months later, authorities have yet to provide any evidence that the more than three dozen people they arrested that night have connections to the gang.
