The bone grinding machine cares not for the nature of the bones that it is fed, only that it must be fed.

JFC what a bunch of ignorant hateful assholes to not even take the seconds to look up a tattoo to check it’s meaning and reference. Does this look like an MS13 reference to you?

It has the colors of the rainbow, which to MAGA means “gay.”

Whoever arrested him did so for that simple reason: they hate gay people, especially gay men, and would like to see them all dead.

They also hate neurodivergence. RFK’s little speech talking about it like an acquired disease and promising to “reverse” the autism that made children “regress” was very telling.

He’s from Venezuela not El Salvador. It is not deportation, this is taking a vulnerable innocent asylum seeker and placing him outside of the law in a inhumane concentration camp. The law can no longer reach him!

This is why its not just a bad prison, recommended read: https://www.hrw.org/news/2025/03/20/human-rights-watch-declaration-prison-conditions-el-salvador-jgg-v-trump-case

I didn’t think the article he claimed otherwise?

The commenter is referring to the fact that sending someone to a foreign concentration camp in a country they aren’t actually from is fundamentally different from “deportation” and that using that term only serves to bolster the regime.

More than Abrego Garcia? Probably because he had a court order not to be deported.

It happened about a month ago or more, along with a number of other tattooed Venezuelans.

Asylum-seeker sent to Salvadoran mega-prison over autism awareness tattoo

No, it was just racism. Everything beyond that was just pretext. Aesop covered this a couple of years ago.

They know these tattoo’s aren’t gang symbols, but it’s just an excuse. Once they’ve established that they can deport anyone they want and the courts are powerless to stop them they’ll just stop talking about them.
