Fake News: Making Folk Heroes Out of Rogues
By Matt O'Brien   October 9, 2019 1 Comment
 

The Daily Beast is crying foul over U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) arrest of Rolando Gramajo Reyes. Reyes, who is lauded as a community organizer, invited ICE personnel to attend a “know your rights” presentation for “people worried about being arrested due to their immigration status.”

Shortly thereafter, ICE arrested him.

Although no ICE personnel attended the presentation, Reyes’ friends, family and attorney believe that he was punished by the U.S. government for his advocacy on behalf of Houston’s Guatemalan community. They feel that he may have “unintentionally goaded” ICE into arresting him. And, according to the Beast, his supporters feel that “the potential deportation of the father of five is disgraceful.”
