Reposted somebody else's post of this Telemundo article yesterday on Enrique Tarrio bragging about being a member of ICE, but it's way too thinly reported. It's from that dataset that hasn't been confirmed and has weird problems, and him dicking around on Twitter isn't confirmation, so I unreposted.

People, please! Proud Boy Enrique Tarrio is NOT an ICE officer. His name was on an obviously fake list that went viral yesterday. Tarrio then joke-replied to the claim. By today he explicitly stated, he is not an ICE officer. This "news" article is based only on his joke. The claim is false. 1/

Here is Tarrio's denial, from 6:08 PM Eastern Time today. "I FUCKING WISH I WORKED FOR ICE". He says he would like the K. He says "Hire the FUCKING Proud Boys". And he says he got death threats from the rumors. Tarrio does not work as an federal law enforcement agent. 2/

The Televisas Noticias article is entirely based on the stupid Tweet that Tarrio had sent the day before (Jan 13), responding to the rumor by saying "A list I'm finally proud to be on.." THIS WAS A JOKE. This is not a validation of the story. Journalists need to understand when someone is joking. 3/

Mistakes matter, and right now especially. The fight against fascism is a fight for the truth. So don't believe something just because it "feels right". Don't repost claims without proof. Follow the standard you want the world to follow. If we slide into disinfo, we lose. 5/
