The Democrats are so sure that they're correct in their anti-ICE positions that they frequently feel the need to lie about what's happened or is happening.
Yet another example can be found in Dem reactions to this story:

Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, posted this about "the Trump admin's machine of cruelty":

She is an asylum seeker, has valid work permits, and is married to a U.S. citizen.

"Without a warrant," eh?
The Department of Homeland Security dropped a receipt on Rep. Castro, who will likely try and ignore it:
THIS IS FALSE.

Here’s the warrant.
It’s embarrassing when sanctuary politicians fall for these obvious hoaxes peddled by the media. We look forward to you correcting the record.
