Allegations from the DOJ shouldn't be assumed to be true.

It charged a woman for ramming an ICE vehicle, which sounds crazy too, but then it turned out that ICE is the one that rammed her vehicle.

This isn't any different than any other time

Police lie, agents lie. DOJ sometimes backs them. Happens under all the admins

I generally accept DoJ stuff but with a healthy dose of skepticism

This is more of the DoJ piling on. UCLA has already admitted guilt

You conflated two different cases. You're talking about a settled case from last where no wrongdoing was admitted.

It's common to pay money to make a case go away because litigation can be most costly, regardless of guilt. Trump has done it, so you might as well say that any accusation against him is accurate as well.

This case is separate, so even if they were guilty last time, the DOJ still has to show proof.
