The relatives of one Venezuelan who was deported say he was not a gang member and has tattoos that might have contributed to his being wrongly identified, including one with his autistic younger brother’s name and a rainbow-colored symbol for autism acceptance. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

‘Deported because of his tattoos’: has the US targeted Venezuelans for their body art?

Via @arianalfigueroa.bsky.social: Attorneys said the only thing the men had in common was having tattoos. One said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement accused her client of belonging to a gang because he had a tattoo similar to the logo of his favorite soccer team, Real Madrid.

And add further to this, these are people who the US government is arguing in court have already been removed! They are not removable anymore, they are in fact, people who have been removed! So any imprisonment is obviously unconstitutional.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

Indiana stands to be the second-most impacted state by Trump’s tariff taxes. Almost 10% of all jobs in the state are in industries targeted by the tax increases. That’s why Democrats are fighting these backward measures — to protect jobs and working families.

Best analogy I’ve seen so far: “…we’re living through the sudden, ER-style flatlining of the healthy biorhythms of our 249-year-old constitutional order.” This is a great overview of the key ways our system has crashed.

Here are some of the young Venezuelan men whom the Trump administration sent to El Salvador's terror prison with no chance to defend their good name, on the merest suspicion of membership in a criminal group. Their relatives say it's all false. It's looking like a monumental, tragic screwup.

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!
