Intelligence Report Contradicts Trump on Venezuelan Gang Deportations | JQJO

A declassified US intelligence assessment reveals no coordination between Venezuela's Tren de Aragua gang and the Maduro government, contradicting the Trump administration's justification for using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan immigrants. While the memo acknowledges some low-level officials may have ties to the gang for personal gain, it concludes that the Maduro regime doesn't direct the gang's US operations. This contradicts statements by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, prompting criticism from Democrats who accuse her of misrepresenting intelligence. Two federal judges have already ruled against the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act in these deportations.
