A declassified memo drafted by U.S. intelligence agencies contradicts President Donald Trump's claims that Venezuela's government controls the Tren de Aragua gang, an argument he has used to deport immigrants to an El Salvador prison.

The National Intelligence Council memo states that the Venezuelan regime of Nicolás Maduro allows criminal gangs to operate in its territory but that it is not orchestrating Tren de Aragua’s operations in the United States.

“While Venezuela’s permissive environment enables TDA to operate, the Maduro regime probably does not have a policy of cooperating with TDA and is not directing TDA movement to and operations in the United States,” according to the April 7 memo.

The National Intelligence Director's Office released the memo in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by the Freedom of the Press Foundation, a nonprofit organization. The foundation provided a copy to NBC News. Titled "Venezuela: Examining regime ties to Tren de Aragua," the declassified version of the five-page memo included some blacked out-words and passages. The New York Times first reported on the memo Monday.

1. Well that proves it. Certainty is nice.

Americans now know for absolute certain that if the G.O.P.s Felon-n-Chief says something, it's a lie.

GOP is the party of BEARING FALSE WITNESS

And daily violating the Ten Commandments,

Damn shitty.

2. I am a hell of a lot more concerned about Musk's DOGE (department of grifting Elons) boyz stealing

the passwords from the DOE’s nuclear weapons programs and computer controls over
those terrible killing machines, sending those passwords to Russian Cyber mother fuckers
via Starlink, and those Russian Cyber shits trying to log into America’s command & control
functions over our nuclear weapons with in minutes after getting the illegally information
then Tren de Aragua. Good God in Butter we need to fight back hard.

3. Not only is Trump allowing dangerous criminal gangs to operate in America, he's orchestrating their operations.

And after they're arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned, Trump gives them all blanket pardons. Then he invites their leaders to Mar-Lago for a lavish lunch, publicly telling them “Love you guys.”

4. He will just fire them.
