“Family members … of ten men sent to El Salvador by the Trump administration … say their relatives have tattoos and believe that is why their loved ones were targeted. But they vigorously reject the idea that their sons, brothers, and husbands have anything to do with Tren de Aragua.” - ThreadSky

This is a fantastic piece of rigorous, in-depth reporting. It will make you want to pass out with rage. But definitely read it.

In the 50’s Cuba at least you could cut your hair and change your jeans to avoid being called a revolutionary by the police. Hard to do that with skin ink. Anyone younger than 40 will be in trouble.

And now we have Kristi Noem basically filming a human right violation influencer video in front of emaciated men crammed into a cell.

To republicans it doesn’t matter. It’s all about optics and fear.

Hegseth has a terrorist tattoo! It’s documented. Deport him!

Chris I’m afraid to read the article cause I’m already outraged at what’s happening in our country! But Kristi Noems SS Nazi ice people are beyond cruel.Kristi is cruel and she loves wearing her tactical outfit and all her makeup and hair and telling Trump what a good job she’s doing!

handi817.bsky.social•4 days ago

Good. Let's get the stories. Translators, let's sue for every one we can!

simone717.bsky.social•3 days ago

Bring them back.

mimilove58.bsky.social•4 days ago

Now days everyone has tattoos. That’s a ridiculous yardstick for assessing guilt. Regardless, people deserve due process.

iamnursetrish.bsky.social•4 days ago

Their only crime was being brown.

wtaylor67.bsky.social•4 days ago

Fucking infuriating

mademark.bsky.social•4 days ago

JFC. Everyone in the world has tattoos now.

Trump’s America - convicted cop beaters are given pardons while Latino people are shackled and transported to another country, without arraignment or trial, to be incarcerated in a notoriously dangerous prison

They need to bring all those men sent there back ASAP for due process.

The D's better be recruiting candidates for even 'safe' R Senate seats. All of this could reach political critical mass.

lorihartbeninger.bsky.social•4 days ago

And we'll never know the truth until these captives are accorded (gasp!) due process!

annesayre.bsky.social•4 days ago

An horrific nightmare for these men and their families.

msskeptic.bsky.social•4 days ago

They wanted to fill up the planes

mariae2rnt.bsky.social•4 days ago

Wouldn’t it be incredible if we lived in a country where due process was a guaranteed legal right regardless of your immigration/citizenship status?? Oh wait…😳

Additionally, we have to look to “Mother Jones” to cover our national interests with any kind of integrity. What happened to the main stream media’s responsibility?

sirwilliam77.bsky.social•4 days ago

Doesn’t Hegseth have those tattoos??

lizzieworldgirl.bsky.social•4 days ago

Let’s re-clarify, they were deported because they where BROWN-SKINNED men with tattoos…

00fella.bsky.social•4 days ago

It’s a goddamned mess!

maverickgator.bsky.social•4 days ago

Unfortunately it's not even by design, it's by ineptitude. Therefore it's harder to correct unless you get rid of idiots like Tom Homan. Trump likes him because he seems tough and that will make Trump seem tough. But he is not that bright, which highlights that Trump just isn't that bright.

Bondi had a presser concerning the arrest of one "gang leader" and stated that this would make America safer. But, no pressers on the prevalence of Nazis marching in our country spewing hate towards us, nor one on the prevalence of assault weapons in the hands of white suprematism

jcorv06.bsky.social•4 days ago

But Petey Hegsuck can have neo-nazi tattoos all over his chest & by golly, whatta patriot

tikibaby.bsky.social•4 days ago

No fair trail, just throw them in prison. Sick, sick ,sick

We need to fight back. What can we do?

mmmoore50.bsky.social•4 days ago

Is anybody doing anything to fix this horrid violation of these people’s rights??? The butthole who was told he’s above the law won’t lose an ounce of sleep over the pain he and his administration is causing these families.

searchingfor.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yep.

dvora3.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hegsmut has more tats than anyone. Can we send him to El Salvadore forever?

biggles25.bsky.social•4 days ago

So I shouldn’t flash my scorpion or Taz the Jack Russell

pattistoll.bsky.social•4 days ago

I was in a CVS this afternoon. A local policeman got in line behind me. I glanced and noticed he was wearing short sleeves, his arms were bare and all his many tattoos were showing. I had to ask him, "Are any of those gang tattoos?" He was a bit stunned. I said I had to ask given the times.

jlm1981.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh, to see that on video. I think we all need to start asking law enforcement and others that question.
Maybe ask someone from ICE, if you're in a group and have witnesses.

canadaeh14.bsky.social•4 days ago

Americans due NOT stay quiet on the lack of due process.

One day this could happen to you, your family and your friends!

greathands4you.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hegseth has some tattoos too.

boldnewme.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is such a horror!!!

josefkaf.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sounds woke doesn’t it? A very sinister and violent form of woke. And illegal.

andyspags.bsky.social•4 days ago

Meanwhile the SecDef is plastered with actual extremist tattoos.

lilredmeow.bsky.social•4 days ago

How can we get them all out of there? If they need deported, they need to be deported back to their own county. First of all we need to give them their rights to hearing at least.

wdmunn.bsky.social•4 days ago

I am still bullshit over this. How do they ever get out? How did we let this happen? My god.

infobabe.bsky.social•4 days ago

Trump could fix this so easily and look like the good guy. He won't.

stephenreed1131.bsky.social•4 days ago

And remember, he wants to send US citizens there next

Pete Hegwidget should too.

truebleu.bsky.social•4 days ago

Of course that’s the case. They’re thousands of them. But we’ll never know.

These are war crimes

jimrissmiller.bsky.social•4 days ago

I remember a time in America when you needed actual evidence to arrest people and certainly before you hold them in cages secreting them away on late night flights to foreign countries where you’ve made an agreement to fund their incarceration there.

trixiedixon.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not sure how this is going to get rectified. This administration never admits they’re wrong.

janicesun.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’ve been reading it for a week, and it is horrific.

offthepigs.bsky.social•4 days ago

How the fuck do ICE members not shoot themselves in the head out of shame for being Nazis in 20 fucking 25? They are kidnapping brown skinned people on paper-thin pretexts. They are undermining trust and compliance with ALL law enforcement.

bruiserchgo.bsky.social•4 days ago

Just spit-balling here, but isn’t it conceivable that some people who got gang tattoos at a young age came to the US to try to escape that life? This used to be the Land of Opportunity
