President Donald Trump’s depiction of women gagged with tape at the border as part of a human trafficking ring has become a cornerstone of his immigration speeches in recent weeks.
However, soon after the Washington Post questioned where he got that information, acting Border Patrol Assistant Chief Armando Sianez asked agents if they had any evidence to backup Trump’s claims, according to an email obtained by Vox.
The email asked for replies in under two hours and linked to the Washington Post story.
One border patrol source told Vox that he or she hadn’t heard of anyone who had fitting proof to share.
