the left hand has knuckle tattoos of a marijuana leaf, a smiley face, a cross, and a skull, which the Trump administration says are symbols for “M”, “S”, “1”, and “3,” respectively
Except the gang is famous for literally tattooing MS-13 all over their bodies.
Bruh do a 5 sec search. Its insane how obvious the ms13 tattoos are.

Whether he’s part of ms-13 or not is irrelevant. If the government has such solid evidence, then he could surely stand trial. The character of the victim isn’t important. The complete disrespect of the constitution, the courts, and thus rule of law is what’s important.
It’s mildly infuriating to me the people in this thread debating the meaning of the tattoos, because it totally misses the point. I don’t think we have enough information to be defending his character, and it DOES NOT matter at all. He could be a stone cold murderer and I still wouldn’t support extrajudicial deportation.
Basically, his character is all an irrelevant smoke screen. Stop engaging with it. It doesn’t matter. What the Trump administration did was illegal and sets a terrible precedent, even if the dude was a murderous gang member.
To be fair, it’s sort of the way of the internet and modern western society to love to nitpick and especially nitpick character flaws, and maybe some of that accidentally bleeds into spaces and people that want to be above such things (or at least not in a reductive or destructive way)
Does Trump think the letters added to the photo are part of the tattoo? His words suggest he does.
