At least in the opening years of the proposed arrangement, when new enrichment facilities to produce fuel for #power plants are being built in cooperation w/ #Arab states, #Iran would be allowed to continue enriching #uranium at low levels, despite #Trump’s post on social media on Monday saying the #US would “not allow any enrichment of uranium.”

ProPublica and the Tribune, along with Venezuelan media outlets Cazadores de Fake News (Fake News Hunters) & Alianza Rebelde Investiga (Rebel Alliance Investigates), also obtained lists of alleged gang members that are kept by #Venezuelan law enforcement officials & the international law enforcement agency #Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names. NONE of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists.

The data indicates that the govt knew that only 6 of the #immigrants were convicted of violent crimes: 4 for assault, 1 for kidnapping & 1 for a weapons offense. And it shows that ofcls were aware that more than half, or 130, of the deportees were not labeled as having any #criminal convictions or pending charges; they were labeled as only having violated #immigration laws.

But the govt’s own data, which was obtained by ProPublica, The Texas Tribune & a team of journalists from #Venezuela, showed that ofcls knew that only 32 of the deportees had been convicted of #US crimes & that most were nonviolent offenses, such as retail theft or traffic violations.

When multiple news organizations disputed those assertions w/reporting that showed many of the deportees did not have #criminal records, the #Trump admin doubled down. It said that its assessment of the deportees was based on a thorough vetting process that included looking at crimes committed both inside & outside the US.

The #Trump admin knew that the vast majority of the 238 #Venezuelan #immigrants it sent to a maximum-security prison in #ElSalvador in mid-March had not been convicted of crimes in the US before it labeled them #terrorists & #deported them, acc/to #DHS data that has not been previously reported.
Trump & his aides have branded the #Venezuelans as “rapists,” “savages,” “monsters” & “the worst of the worst.”

@werd.io Now lets forget all our degrees or non-degrees and make a test: how many images do we recognise correctly? https://real-or-fake-the-ai-game.onrender.com/

Here's a scientific study about the ability to recognise fake images of people (only 61% succeeded): https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/03/240306003456.htm

"These are all white farmers that are being buried," said #Trump, holding up a print-out of an article accompanied by the picture during a contentious meeting w/South African President Cyril #Ramaphosa.
In fact, the video published by Reuters on Feb 3 & subsequently verified by the new agency's #FactCheck team, showed #humanitarian workers lifting body bags in #Congo’s city of #Goma. The image was pulled from Reuters footage shot following deadly battles w/ #Rwanda-backed #M23 rebels.

It’s unclear where #Trump got the video from, or who, if anyone, characterized to him what the video showed. #ElonMusk — who is originally from #SouthAfrica & is one of Trump’s *advisers* — had posted the video on the social media site X at least twice before today’s meeting.

In Wed’s meeting, when President #Ramaphosa asked where the video was from, Trump said, “I mean, it’s in South Africa.”

The misrepresentation of the footage took place during a stunning meeting in which #Trump made false claims about a genocide against white farmers. Trump dimmed the lights to play the footage, presenting it as *evidence* of racial persecution against white South Africans.

As the clip played, the #IdiotInChief said: “These are burial sites right here. Burial sites. Over a thousand of white farmers.”

A NYT analysis found that the footage instead showed a memorial procession on Sept 5, 2020, near Newcastle, #SouthAfrica. The event, according to a local news website, was for a white farming couple in the area who the police said had been murdered in late August of that year.

The crosses were planted in the days ahead of the event & were later removed.

#Trump Claimed a Social Media Video Showed ‘Burial Sites’ of White Farmers. It Didn’t.

In a White House meeting on Wednesday, Trump showed President Cyril #Ramaphosa of #SouthAfrica a social media video of a rural road lined with white crosses & hundreds of vehicles.

Trump told Ramaphosa that the footage showed “burial sites” of “over 1,000” white farmers in South Africa.

If the govt fought & lost, it could have legal repercussions, not least of which for the nearly 140 #Venezuelans who were sent to the same facility under the *authority* of the #AlienEnemiesAct.
