ICE Agents Commit Perjury Without Penalty, Because They Are Above the Law

In the days after the arrest of a Venezuelan man working as a food delivery driver in Bellevue last June, the Department of Homeland Security made a series of alarming allegations.

Gabriel Hurtado-Cariaco, 31, was referred to by DHS as a “criminal illegal alien” and a “known Tren de Aragua terrorist.” The agency said he “violently attacked an ICE agent” by slamming her head into the ground and attempting to choke her to death. At a preliminary hearing, a Homeland Security agent and a federal prosecutor said Hurtado-Cariaco received “special forces-type training” in the Venezuelan military and may have been involved in “killing people, hurting people, [and] committing human rights violations.”

[But there were videos taken by witnesses]

At no point in either video is Hurtado-Cariaco seen choking the female agent. Instead, the videos show agents placing Hurtado-Cariaco into a chokehold on two separate occasions as he attempts to break free.

It isn’t clear when prosecutors became aware of the videos. McWilliams said the U.S. Attorney’s Office was aware of the existence of the videos early on in the case, and had the videos in their possession before seeking the indictment for attempted murder. The U.S. Attorney’s Office did not respond to requests for comment about the timeline in time for publication.

In short, there are ICE agents who apparently committed perjury and at least one prosecutor who may have attempted to commit fraud on the court.

The judge said that the "embellished" reports by ICE agents were "troubling". Well, no fucking shit, Your Honor. They lied to you.

No ICE agent should be given any deference or credibility. They think they're above the law and they'll lie without shame.
