Um, didn't he tell us NOT to take health advice from him? 🤔

This explains an until-now unresolved mystery in Mr. Abrego Garcia's case. When his lawyers in 2019 went to interview the detective who claimed a "confidential informant" accused him of being in MS-13, they found out he was suspended.

Now we know why. And it's pretty bad. The guy was a dirty cop.
What’s more, it turns out that Mendez was suspended, in early April of 2019, for “providing information to a commercial sex worker who he was paying in exchange for sexual acts.” That’s according to the PG County police’s own announcement of his indictment, which came a year later, in June of 2020. Strikingly, the information Mendez shared was related to “an on-going police investigation.” “This is clearly not an officer that respects the rules and protocols,” Curiel told us. “If he’s willing to do that, what else is he willing to do?” Mendez ultimately pleaded guilty to the charge and received probation, according to the office of Aisha Braveboy, the state’s attorney for Prince George’s County. The office also confirmed Mendez’s police ID number, which matches the one on the gang sheet. The PG County police declined comment, but the department appears to have acted on this misconduct efficaciously.
