THe latest is that the people who are accused of conspiring in secret to make a man disappear, completely deny having done it... which does not refute the story, only reinforces that their position is that they didn't do it.

I would like OP now to go through the Politics forum and find and request deletion of all the threads or posts based on false claims by MAGA and the GOP. That should keep you busy for a while.

I don't know which thread this is. Could you please provide a link? Also, what evidence do you have that it is false?


The burden of proof should be on the person making the claim, or in this case, posting an article. There is no evidence to suggest the story is legit. It all stemmed from a social media post.

"Since the publication of Leon's story, the Guatemalan Institute of Migration, the Guatemalan immigration service, said (archived) in a statement that no persons matching the "name, age and nationality" in reports about Leon's alleged deportation had entered Guatemala."


The Morning Call, a legit paper, started it and hasn't retracted the story.


Jeff: the story OP posted is fake news.

AP is reporting the story is false:

Please delete this thread.


That link is broken

There is no record of the man appearing at any green card appointment in or around the area of Philadelphia on June 20, 2025. Furthermore, ICE has not deported Luis Leon—a Chilean national—to Guatemala, as his family members have said.


lol ICE is a criminal organization and nothing they say can be believed.
