    Where did their 2 phones and drug selling claims come from?

    I don’t think it’s unfair to assume they’re just making shit up. Either for fishing/intimidation, or just trying to meet some kind of quota for deportations. They’re just deporting people arbitrarily.

    As another example, ICE is rounding up Venezuelan men with tattoos and sending them to prison in El Salvador, because tattoos must mean you have a gang affiliation:

    Did he have clearance/permission to have the ashes in his bag?

    According to the article he didn’t have ashes, be just had the empty urn, as he’d scattered the ashes in Australia.

      They aren’t just rounding up people based on tattoos lol. They’ve said that they’re in communication with their government and are helping to get known gang members/associates that they are requesting.

      Also, and I don’t know why this seems to be hard for you guys - just because someone says they’re not a criminal/gang member/gang affiliated DOES NOT MEAN THEY AREN’T. People - especially criminals - lie. They’re not locking people up because of a tattoo lol.

      Also from your own link ffs lol:

      DHS intelligence assessments go beyond a single tattoo and we are confident in our findings."

      When asked if the administration had additional evidence that Barrio was a member of the gang, an administration official told ABC News he had other tattoos that were TdA-affiliated.

      So basically the “soccer” tattoo might not be a gang one……but his big one that says the gangs name is.
