Summary

It's hard to believe some of the stories of deceit and corruption by Donald Trump and Pam Bondi's DOJ officials and attorneys are real. But as Politico just reported: "DOJ backs off claims about Guatemalan children it sought to deport".

The case involves parents who were located in Guatemala but who had children in the United States. In a staggering display of lying to a court, a DOJ attorney named Drew Ensign told a judge that "all of the parents and guardians" in Guatemala wanted their children deported from the US back to Guatemala.

It turns out that NONE of the parents and guardians of children said any such thing. Indeed, a subsequent DOJ attorney who appeared in the case withdrew and retracted the false statement.

Glenn discusses this legal development and suggests that the court take action to hold Ensign accountable for providing false information to the court in an apparent effort to trample the due process rights of Guatemalan children.
