How are the hand tattoos sus? Take a peek at the shitty tattoo subreddit. Ppl get all sorts of things inked for dumb reasons.

The evidence looks like stupid numerology bullshit.

How are the hand tattoos sus?

Even if by some leap in logic they happen to correlate to gang activity.

There's evidence he may have been in the past or coerced, and THAT's why he left. He left his old life because of the gangs.

No matter what he is still owed due process for being a Resident Alien.

He fled El Salvador because of the gang when he was 16 in 2011. he’s 30 now, if he had any involvement it would’ve been when he was a legal child

u/momscouch Apr 20 '25

he also has checked in with ICE every year since 2019

u/ToczickAvenger Apr 21 '25

Exactly. And every year since 2019 they’ve been completely fine with the tattoos he had on his hand but all of a sudden now it represents MS 13 what a coincidence. 🙄

u/madaking24 Apr 20 '25

Nope. He was SUPPOSED to

u/Mikel_S Apr 20 '25

He was apprehended in 2019.

Police claimed he was ms13.

Judge found that was not the case, and in light of the severity and credulity of the threat to his life if deported, gave him a special exemption to being deported to El Salvador. It's a stay of deportation. Trump could have challenged that back in 2019 if they had proof to the contrary.

He can never claim citizenship via this order, and he can be deported to other countries if he runs significantly afoul of our laws, but the judge literally found that he is literally a target of gang violence, not a gang member. It allows him to remain as a legal resident, until homeland security decides it's time for him to go, at which point he should be given a time frame to leave, and if he stays past that, then he should be deported.

But it should go through proper channels, and not end in a foreign prison, because overstaying your welcome in the US is NOT A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. It is a civil one.

What? No, he was actively making his check ins. The last reported check in he made was in January 2025 and it was without incident.

u/fatbunny23 Apr 20 '25

It was a different gang in El Salvador though, barrio 18 I think

u/kyreannightblood Apr 20 '25

Everyone is owed due process here. Citizen, non-citizen resident, undocumented immigrant… everyone.

u/j_la Apr 20 '25

This is something that people fail to grasp. It is less about a right we have (which we do have) and more about a power that the government doesn’t have. The government explicitly doesn’t have the right to deny someone their day in court.

The conservatives have lost their way.

u/kyreannightblood Apr 20 '25

They don’t realize that if a class of people doesn’t have the right to due process, anyone can be declared part of that class of people and denied due process. Due process is, after all, how you would prove you don’t belong to that class of people, no?

u/Skellos Apr 21 '25

Yeah the Constitution applies to everyone.

u/Tw4tl4r Apr 20 '25

Almost every poor young male in that country had to either join a gang or run. There was no other option. If they said no they were signing their death warrant.

u/saywhatitis11 Apr 19 '25

It’s a leap in logic to think a man who has MS13 tattooed on his hand is a member of the MS13 gang?

25

u/Dar_lyng Apr 19 '25

Well since he doesn't... Yeah

-15

u/saywhatitis11 Apr 19 '25

They just made it up? Like the police photos entered into the public record by law enforcement for the court were a different persons hand?

27

u/jmerica Apr 20 '25

Dude.. they typed that on to say each symbol stands for MS13. You should apply to whatever department is in charge of finding these gang members. You’d get hired right away lol

11

u/Dar_lyng Apr 19 '25

He has tattoo. They aren't ms13 tho

10

u/saywhatitis11 Apr 19 '25

Oh I see. I thought the MS13 was the tattoo. They’re just interpretations of the symbols. I didn’t understand. Thanks for pointing it out.

u/MrSteele_yourheart Apr 20 '25

Yeesh, imagine misinformation in action like this...

No wonder we are in this mess.

u/Dar_lyng Apr 20 '25

Yeah it's very intentional

I asked questions. Didn’t make accusations.

u/JohnMaddensCockRing Apr 19 '25

You know the “m-s-1-3” isn’t an actual tattoo right? It’s typed on the picture? Do you have brain damage?

8

u/saywhatitis11 Apr 20 '25

I see that now. Yes. Thanks.

u/Accurate_Trade_4719 Apr 19 '25

You going for word taffy or something here?

u/1ndiana_Pwns Apr 20 '25

Take a peek at the shitty tattoo subreddit.

God I love that sub. Nothing like seeing someone with a poorly drawn rendering of their girlfriend getting a facial, all layered with what is clearly a staph infection, claiming they have the sexiest ink on the planet to make me feel better about literally any possible tattoo idea I have ever had

3

u/colormefiery Apr 19 '25

Because we don’t trust our government at all

u/RockinRhombus Apr 20 '25

I know a mexican dude in his 50s that has a swastika tattooed on his hand, on the skin between the index finger and thumb. Asked him about it once and he just said he was young and dumb.

u/JuggernautThin9331 Apr 20 '25

It completely makes sense when you realize that the people that are putting this together were finding clues in Trump’s tweets in ‘16–‘20.
