- Never committed a crime.
- Fled his home when persecuted for being LGBTQ & refusing to give in to an authoritarian regime.
- Sought asylum through a legal pathway.
- Found us to represent him in court.
So, why did the Trump admin forcibly remove him?
He had tattoos.
Here's the evidence ICE submitted in his case: a "gang worksheet" filled out by local cops in 2019 saying:
1) he had on Chicago Bulls gear
2) a confidential information said he was part of an MS-13 clique in a state he'd never lived in.
ICE agreed they had nothing else. Read the full context here:
For a while there I was wondering if Newsom could make a decent candidate for President, with his charisma handling the fires, but with stuff like this, I'm not sure he's presidential material. Better than Trump, but that's a low bar.

One thing is to mess up your opsec the other thing is to fuck up your actual operation. It doesnβt matter if you do it with a knife or with an airstrike. Murder is murder. Itβs time to start thinking of people as humans again instead of acronyms and statistics.
