No matter the tattoo, this outrage should never be forgotten. My contempt for 3 politicians; Trump, Putin and Netanyahu knows no depths.

I also hope someone has a list somewhere to help these dudes get some sort of hearing and compensation when compassion returns to the United States.

Tattoos like song lyrics by an artist who endorsed Trump.

wyldewitch.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I don’t want to be alarmist, but anyone with a tattoo in a non-English language is at risk

No, sorry, let me correct that: anyone with a tattoo is at risk

No, one last correction: anyone is at risk

Was not some woman from the Republican calling the deported some day ago "monsters"?

Hope this is in other outlets due to the paywall. Horrible collateral damage from this charade by the Trump administration playing God.

We do not know who these men are, anyone could have been on that plane. Trump has a vengeful heart.

I think it's not worth the time trying to figure out what Bezos allows and doesn't allow.

Reliable sources aren't beholden to oligarchs that bend the knee to Trump publicly to protect their financial empire.

suasponte2023.bsky.social•11 hours ago

You think the content of the article is something Trump would want to be reported?

okayaboutthat.bsky.social•12 hours ago

I hope we get more stories of the disappeared as looking like a casting call for propaganda / reality TV stunt vs. legitimate legal process

Did ICE focus on finding those to meet a stereotype of a gang demographic - only able bodied men from Venezuela who might pass on TV, e.g. tattoos? 🧐

If, as Trump claims, we are in a war sufficient to invoke the Alien Enemies Act then he and Tom Homan are war criminals and need to be forced to stand trial in The Hague.

plus according to this article, they appear to be redirecting people whose families were expecting them to be deported back home to salvadoran prisons and then not telling the families what had happened adding another layer of craziness

oraleigh.bsky.social•9 hours ago

There are two things about this regime that stand out: not in command of the facts and not about the details. They just want to break everything to take us back to draconian times. Of course there are folks deported who are innocent. One innocent person deported is one too many.

lostbird1950.bsky.social•10 hours ago

What worries me: in 2017 DHS separated parents and children at the border with no system or plan to keep track. There are still families who’ve never been reunited. My guess is that DHS and Bukele’s thugs are not keeping functional records. These men will be “lost” to purposeful incompetence.

As many have already said, if they can come for these folks without any hearing or oversight, they will eventually come for you

I still say that homan and those who carried out his directives should be in jail for Disobeying the Court Order until such time as the deported persons are returned to their families and lives and compensated from those stooges, personally, for their pain and suffering!

Deporting people without due process is absolutely wrong. Deporting them to a prison in a 3rd party country where they can be treated like animals for indefinite periods is beyond inhumane.

Only because these Germans weren’t done in the thirties and had much more in store in the fourties. Which is something you can expect from Trump after he has managed to spark his own Reichstag fire.

The Orange Regime lies fluidly to push their agenda. They have no humanity. No empathy. They are soulless. Everyone, potentially, is at risk because they don't care about anyone.

A Latino with a tattoo? None had criminal record. AND everyone who wants one has #tattoos.

mjsmokewithbill.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Almost all of those arrested and deported had no tattoos. All gang members would have ink insignia.

bondurant.bsky.social•11 hours ago

They were deported because they are brown. Full stop. Nothing more to see here....
