Good day, everyone. This is Pastor Ben of the Benjamin Dixon show with your daily intelligence brief.

J.D. Vance, Vice President, J.D. Vance is lying yet again. This time, it isn't about Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, eating their neighbor's pets.

No. This time, Vance is lying about a man that the Trump administration

illegally deported without due process. Vance tweeted that Kilmar Abrigo Garcia, a Maryland

resident, was a convicted MS-13 gang member with no legal right to be here. That statement is false. Kilmar had one legal protection

from deportation after a judge ruled that he would likely face torture or death if returned

to El Salvador. But the Trump administration deported him anyway. Today, he sits in a mega prison run by Salvadorian president Naib Buckele, a facility that has swallowed tens of thousands many without trial or charge. This is not an accident. It is what we call a narrative inversion tactic. It is propaganda, a propaganda strategy where the

powerful reframe actual victims as threats in order to justify cruelty. Vance's tweet is not

just a lie, it's the ribbon around a regime. It ties together the criminalization of the immigrant,

the war on protest, the abandonment of due process, the violation of federal court orders,

and the spiritual hijacking of Christianity itself. Kilmar's case isn't isolated. It is a test balloon, a trial balloon. The Trump

administration is trying to see what all they can get away with. In recent weeks, there have

been multiple people who have disappeared into ICE custody, including Rumazza Orchthirc, a Tufts

university doctoral student and Fulbright scholar, and Mahmoud Khalil,

a Columbia University graduate and Palestinian green card holder. Neither had committed a crime.

Their offense? Speaking out for Palestinian life. Oss Turk co-authored a student op-ed.

Khalil marched in protest.

Both were snatched by plain clothes agents without identification,

transferred to ICE detention centers across state lines

in violation of federal court orders.

Their cases reveal a new strategy that we must name plainly. The U.S. government is testing how far it can go in criminalizing dissent,

especially when tied to Muslim identity or anti-war protest.
