The Trump admin. this week continued digging in on its claim that symbols tattooed on the fingers of Kilmar Abrego Garcia are proof that the man they wrongly deported to El Salvador is a member of MS-13. But gang experts disagree, saying the tattoos alone are not proof of membership in the gang.

Plus, the finger tattoos that Trump “claims” he has, he doesn’t have.

Why is this a headline as though ms13 is tattooed on his fingers? It was photoshopped. His hand was shown when he met with that Congressman a couple of weeks ago. Those letters weren't on his fingers so this line of disinformation should be done.

Savage Truth @savagetruth.bsky.social

It wasn't "The Trump admin" claiming the tattoos represented something... It was Trump *loudly and repeatedly* saying that the man had the letters "MS - 13" on his fingers! Do not continue to normalize his behavior and give him a pass!!!

Such a silly reasoning would make millions of citizens having tattoos to be suspects to be 'MISTAKENLY DEPORTED!!'

It’s impressive to see the interview about Anthony Garcia’s tattoos with Trump and Terry Moran—how the journalist keeps trying to change the subject to save the no-brain goblin of a president, who just keeps exposing his ignorance. And of course, Trump has to trash Terry Moran too. What a fck 🤡

Tattoos in the 1920s meant you'd been in jail. People still believe it to be true. So, experts are brought in to verify that our cultural perceptions of tattoos have changed. My bigger wonder is, and more importantly, that Trump is tattooing people against their will and using this age-old belief.

It's an educated guess. He's using fear tactics. And with Republicans being mostly boomers and largely untattooed, he would do anything to scare people. If you want to predict Trump, think "What would scare Grandma?"

Bill of Rights for All @billofrightsforall.bsky.social

This administration has us focused on tattoos instead of the fact that they "mistakenly" ignored court orders not to send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador. Unilaterally designating gang members as Alien Enemies is just a test case on how laws can be abused to further Executive supremacy.

Look at the tattoos on some of the actual MS13 guys. They’re HUGE. On the neck, across the chest, back, or even the face. They point at these tiny ones on Garcia’s fingers and accuse him of that?

Trump's interview talking about the MS-13 terrible photo-shopped picture just shows you how fucking dumb Trump is. He kept arguing the photo was real and the report was wrong. Reminds me of "Sharpie Gate" where Trump drew on a map with a Sharpie pen to claim he was right. We are not that dumb

The larger point is that even if Garcia is a member of MS-13, it STILL does not justify throwing him into a forever terror dungeon without due process. This violates both US and international law. Anyone who supports this doesn’t understand the true ideals of America.

I hate them also, but we have to try to appeal to the average Trump supporter’s sense of decency. Due process is to protect all of us. It has nothing to do with individual horrible people (no doubt some of the people sent to CECOT are legit bad guys). We’re either a nation of laws or we’re not
