Wrongly Accused by ICE

John Carlos Frey tells the story of Gabriel Cariaco's arrest in Bellevue, Nebraska — a legal asylum seeker who fled Venezuela, accused of being a member of the gang Tren de Aragua, and charged with attempted murder of a federal agent. Frey traces how the government's account changed within 24 hours of the arrest, how a tattoo meant to honor his son's birthday became "evidence" of gang membership, and how bystander video ultimately contradicted the sworn federal complaint filed against him.  A year later, a federal judge called the original report "at worst a misrepresentation and at best complete negligence" — and said, from the bench, that he had doubts about trusting law enforcement in this case. This is a story about how a false narrative gets built, how fast it travels, and what it takes to unravel it once it's already made headlines.  https://theraidpodcast.org/  https://nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/news/news-articles/a-venezuelan-man-was-accused-of-attempting-to-choke-an-ice-officer-to-death-in-bellevue-bystander-video-tells-a-different-story/  https://www.courthousenews.com/judge-slams-feds-for-distorting-nebraska-ice-arrest-but-still-sentences-suspect-to-14-months/  https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/06/20/ice-arrests-criminal-illegal-alien-tren-de-aragua-gang-member-attempting-murder-ice Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
