Response to this claim
Jeury Concepcion was not arrested by ICE.
“Jeury Concepcion is a US citizen. He was walking to a barbershop. He left with stitches in his head and a government statement saying he "was NOT arrested by ICE." The judge's ruling says otherwise, by name.”
The reference point is whether ICE agents falsified records and testimony to justify the arrests of Almonte and Concepcion. Dworkin contrasts the government's statement that Concepcion "was NOT arrested by ICE" with the ruling, which he says "says otherwise, by name." That treats the government's account as false, so we labeled it Condemned. The closest competing label is Challenged characterization, which would fit a dispute over wording alone; he faults the government's account of the arrest.
