Thanks Tom! (I'm guessing the middle part of your reply here about places is an accidental voice-to-text? Am I missing anything there?)

Hi Tom, I'm a fact-checker with Snopes.com. Would you mind confirming that your son, Michael Rocchio, spoke with the Houston Chronicle and that the photo was taken at about 6 p.m. Athens time? I'm also at grace@snopes.com if your son is willing to chat. Thank you!

thanks again, i saw your message on x and appreciate you spreading the word! ik you're probably just the comms/socials person but i just want to reiterate that your employees should know this + hope dshs puts a policy tg ensuring that employees do. also, put smth on ur website abt it - prominently.

is it too much to ask for the government to.... serve the public..... like, ok benefits aren't your deal, but the chances of you, a dshs employee, knowing exactly who to hand that card to are way higher than my own.

it's a common misunderstanding among laypeople, but vance has a background in law/worked as a corporate lawyer. it is likely he knows that kilmar abrego garcia was not convicted of a crime but sought to characterize him as a criminal regardless.
