During their Oval Office visit, Merz gives Trump a copy of his grandfather's birth certificate from Kallstadt in Bavaria. But he doesn't give Trump a copy of the decree of Feb 27, 1907 signed by Prince Regent Luitpold in which his grandfather was ordered deported from Bavaria as a moral degenerate.

The claims that the Trump administration made to judges around the US about the Venezuelans it shipped off to a special concentration camp in El Salvador were knowing lies. And that should put a cloud over any claims the administration makes in law courts, or to the media, from now on.
Trump Administration Knew Vast Majority of Venezuelans Sent to Salvadoran Prison Had Not Been Convicted of U.S. Crimes
Homeland Security records reveal that officials knew that more than half of the 238 deportees were labeled as having no criminal record in the U.S. and had only violated immigration laws.
