Administration Lied To Itself To Keep Pushing Its Fake ‘Tren De Aragua’ Terrorism Narrativefrom the who-needs-facts-when-you-have-rhetoric deptWe always knew the narrative was false.
The administration’s insistence that Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) was somehow an international menace always rang hollow — just another way to disappear brown people into an El Salvadoran torture prison.
For months, it’s been clear the intelligence doesn’t back the claims made by the deliberately stupid leaders of the Trump administration.
Administration officials — especially those making the most noise about TdA = international terrorism — have always had access to this information.
