Declassifized Spy Memo contradicts Trump on Venezuela

A newly released memo published on Monday confirms that US secret service agencies rejected an important claim that President Trump had submitted to justify to call up a law of war to summarize the Venezolans in El Salvador.

In the memo, which was first reported by the New York Times by the New York Times in March, states that espionage agencies do not believe that the administration of President Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, a criminal gang, tren de Aragua. This determination contradicts what Mr. Trump claimed when he called the deportation law, the extraterrestrial enemy law.

“While Venezuela's permissible environment enables TDA to operate, the Maduro regime probably does not have a policy of working with TDA and does not direct the TDA movement to and operations in the United States,” says the memo.

The publication of the memo undermines the reasoning of the Trump government for the use of the Anien Enemies Act and questions its powerful criticism of the following reporting. After the Times published its article, the Ministry of Justice opened a criminal investigation and portrayed the reporting as misleading and harmful. The administration doubled a month later after a similar reporting in the Washington Post, citing the information in both articles, as the reason to relax the limits of leak examinations.

The document, which is known as a memo “Sense for the Community”, was published by the Office of Director of the National Secret Service in response to a request from the Freedom of Information Act by The Freedom of the Press Foundation. The foundation provided a copy of the time.
