Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Beto Coral’s criticism of a presidential candidate in his home country of Colombia undermined U.S. foreign policy.



The Trump administration detained a Colombian immigrant this week in Phoenix after he spoke out against a Trump-endorsed candidate in his home country’s upcoming presidential election.

Franklin Humberto Coral Garrido, a progressive online activist known as Beto Coral, is a supporter of President Gustavo Petro of Colombia, a leftist who has clashed with President Trump. He has publicly criticized Abelardo De La Espriella, a right-wing candidate backed by Mr. Trump. Mr. Coral was arrested by immigration authorities on Tuesday, the same day Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a memo determining that he was deportable from the United States.

In the memo, Mr. Rubio noted that Mr. Coral arrived in the United States in 2015 on a tourist visa and has a pending asylum application. But “Coral Garrido has used his presence in the United States to conduct political activity in support of the Petro government” and has advocated against a candidate for president, Mr. Rubio wrote, according to a copy of the memo obtained by The New York Times.

2. Another memo advocating abuse of rights.

America sure loves those. They have been known to explain everything away.

I'll forget when the people tortured can become people who were never tortured.
When those tortured to death are alive again.
When those who - implemented/enabled/justified/engaged in/codified - the torture are wasting away in prison.
