Even after charges are dropped against defendants or they're exonerated by video, DHS has refused to correct its previous statements or back down. In Martinez's case, for example, the judge ruled that it was appropriate to unseal the evidence because DHS continued to call Martinez a "domestic terrorist" in statements to the press.

The article's conclusion:

for the government to say things that are not true about U.S. citizens who've been subjected to state violence is a very serious matter. McLaughlin's replacement will hopefully understand the gravity of this.

Even more bizarre in the totally-lacking-in-irony need of a mirror, a recommended article at the bottom of the page:
