> “YET AGAIN to the people who feel the need to reflexively defend perpetrators of heinous crimes in our country I share with you this message: Enforcement of the law will continue. The memes will continue. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he said.
Of note:
- government fabricating (with "AI", read: generative image model) contemporaneous image of arrestee
- when questioned about fabrication, official response refers to deputy communications director's Twitter post
- said tweet ridicules defense of alleged perpetrator — that is, defending criminal defendant, and/or not merely presuming guilt of arrestee
- said tweet indicates that government's memes regarding accuseds (that is, people who have not been tried and convicted by a jury of their peers) will continue
- said tweet parrots Trump's own tweet style

Watch this post get flagged and buried despite (1) being about tech (use of generative models in daily life, and by government no less); (2) being news; and (3) being evidence of government's disregard for truth, judicial determination of facts, and constitutional rights.
Also, note the blurring of the separation of church and state: arrest occurred at demonstration against ICE acting field director who also happens to be a church pastor.
Bonkers.
