Police Across US Lied About Venezuelan Gang Threats

The #BlueLeaks hacked data trove revealed the pipeline of propaganda that travels from federal agencies like the FBI, to DHS Fusion Centers, and then down to state and local law enforcement agencies. The data being shared was usually racist and was priming police for violence. Those practices haven't stopped, as we see with these ridiculous claims made about Tren de Aragua and Venezuela. I don't know how many times I've heard the rumor that police had been "greenlit" by the gang and that large bounties are on their heads. Those lies have now been repeated by RepubliKKKlan lawmakers like racist Texas Governor Abbott. This time it wasn't a hack that revealed the truth, but by documents uncovered through FOIA requests. Police lied. They always lie. Now those lies are being used as a pretext for a war with Venezuela. #ACAB
