Summary
Jerce Reyes Barrios, a Venezuelan soccer player, was deported to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act after U.S. authorities mistook his soccer logo tattoo for a gang symbol.
Barrios legally entered the U.S. in 2024 and was accused of being a Tren de Aragua gang member.
His attorney argued the tattoo resembled Real Madrid’s logo and provided evidence of his clean record.
Despite a court order blocking such deportations, Barrios was sent to El Salvador, and his current whereabouts are unknown.
Totally common law enforcement tactic.
Back in the day, it was sports teams, just about any team could be justified as “gang affiliated” and they used it as an excuse to hassle minorities.

Yup. At the high school I attended, if you were black or brown you could only wear black or white shirts, because any color was a gang color (nevermind the gangs in town wore red and blue).

FYI, it’s way worse than just “deported to El Salvador”
Why were they sent to El Salvador?
Under Trump’s deal, El Salvador will detain the deported individuals for one year in CECOT, the largest and most restrictive prison in the country.
The prison, which can hold up to 40,000 inmates, was designed to house El Salvador’s most dangerous gang members.
The decision to send the immigrants to a foreign prison system instead of their home country is unusual and highly controversial. Critics argue that deportees should be sent back to Venezuela rather than to a country where they have no legal ties.

Can someone explain what the point of these crazy antics is, they are done to people who are clearly just visiting the US and they are targeting white people as well, is it to create an atmosphere of fear for any legal immigrants or any minorities?
