Here’s the thing: line officers at DHS routinely lie about stuff like this. Some studies suggest manufactured statements occur in 15-20% of cases, sometimes higher. Border Patrol is the worst offender but ICE does it too.

Some states do have laws to protect against law enforcement from using masks and not prominently identifying themselves so let’s go!!
No accountability.
i sat in on an asylum hearing a couple weeks ago and the judge cited an obviously slapped together i213 to find adverse credibility.
/god, has it really been six years?
Voter enablers, not just one type of LEO, are THE problem.
As you can imagine, that creates a motivation for immigration officers to pretend that a person said they had no fear when asked.
Border Patrol started openly ignoring people who asked for asylum or expressed a fear.
Sadly, that could have occurred at any point in the last decade.
Even when the CBP paperwork says the FN was speaking to the officer in a language the FN doesn’t know they’ll say “nah, we nailed it”
The UK has the Johnson principle, where it became apparent that Bojo's followers loved him because of the incessant lying, not in spite of. Thank goodness the US ..
