Did Trump forget about the bad hombres thing?

 

It has been reported that the Trump administration has reportedly cut a deal with a former cartel boss in Mexico, with 17 family members being allowed to enter the United States. Cheers!

    He is giving information about cartels to the US gov. And still pleading guilty to his crimes. 

    I thought people wanted due process for these criminals?

    Maybe he is giving information about the cartels – like their bank account numbers that Trump can dip into and enrich himself.

    Some people do want due process but probably not Trump – it has been reported that he has deported over 50 migrants that came to the US legally – and none of them got due process. Cheers!

    Just because you came legally does not mean you get to stay regardless.  If you behave badly,  you will be removed from the country.

    Are we to assume you have information about this deal that neither the Mexican government nor anyone else doesn't seem to have?

    “It is evident that his family is going to the U.S. because of a negotiation or an offer that the Department of Justice is giving him,” [Mexican Security Secretary] Garcia Harfuch said.

    He said that none of the family members were being pursued by Mexican authorities and that the government of U.S. President Donald Trump “has to share information” with Mexican prosecutors, something [as os May 14] it has not yet done."

    Per President Sheinbaum:
    "We don't have official or public information that says why this family entered. We must recall the issue of extradition again, and yes, indeed, it is — there is a policy of [the U.S.] not to negotiate with terrorists. It was their decision to name some organized crime organizations [like the Sinaloa Cartel] as terrorists.

    So, let them report if there's an agreement or if there isn't an agreement... they have to report it and they have to explain this to the people of the United States as well... how it is that, if they're reaching an agreement, how they're doing it. And to Mexico, obviously."

    I just quoted from the link in the OP. 
    It says he is giving information about other cartels.   So assuming that article is correct, I have the same info as everyone else who read the article.

    It said "Rumors had circulated ..."  You stated, "He is giving information about cartels ..."  Do you know the difference between a rumor and a fact?  I think not.

    And if you had followed the link in the OP, you would have seen it did go to The Columbian which reprinted an AP article. It was clearly posted at the top of the article.  (It seems to be gone now)

    Here is a link to the exact same article on AP who actually wrote the article that was posted on The Columbian.
