GOP Rep Gabe Evans has used his heritage and his family's immigration story as a shield against criticism of his support for Trump's deportations. @chasewoodruff.bsky.social reports that the story isn't true.

Colorado Republican Rep. Gabe Evans has centered his pro-Trump political identity — and his support for mass deportation — on the story of his Mexican-American grandfather, who he has repeatedly said immigrated “the legal way.”

Documents show that isn’t true.
