D'OH! Jon Favreau swings at Trump admin over 'awful' ICE deportation order, KO's OBAMA instead

It all started with Sen. Tammy Duckworth sounding the alarm about the looming deportation of a U.S. Army veteran:

.@DHSgov @SecNielsen: you have the power to prevent @USArmy Veteran Miguel Perez from being deported TODAY. I urge you to personally review his case before forcing his deportation through without giving him time to even say goodbye to his loved ones pic.twitter.com/4yngubPCK2

Former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau is highly troubled by that story:

This is awful. ICE is trying to deport an Army Veteran today. @SecNielsen can stop this if she wants. https://t.co/8vTP5Yk0Ek

Too bad Obama flacks weren’t as vocal about this when the deportation was ordered:

(The deportation order was issued under President Obama)

(also, he was caught dealing a laptop bag full of coke) https://t.co/NTmE1NYBj3

Fact check: TRUE. Alex Griswold at the Washington Free Beacon reports:

But the decision to deport Perez, 39, was made two years ago, when Obama was still president.

Perez was discharged from the military in 2004 after failing a drug test. In 2008, Perez was caught by an undercover police officer with a laptop case full of cocaine and ended up being sentenced to 15 years in prison.

After being selected for early release in September 2016, Perez was summoned to an immigration court and was instead transferred to an ICE facility in Wisconsin to await deportation.

There were many other attempts to resuscitate Favreau’s self-awareness:

Lot of folks making fools of themselves by not knowing the specifics of this case, including @jonfavs https://t.co/TmSpLcvFRZ

It’s possible they DO know the specifics and choose not to mention them because the Dems have a Trump narrative to keep pushing.
