Recent reports indicate a troubling trend where Venezuelan migrants, including asylum seekers, have been deported to El Salvador based on tattoos that are misidentified as gang symbols. Cases have emerged involving individuals who possess everyday tattoos, like those representing sports teams, being erroneously labeled as gang members by U.S. immigration authorities. Lawyers for the deported individuals argue that many of these migrants, including professional athletes, have no criminal records and are victims of a system that misinterprets cultural symbols. Families of the deported have expressed distress, claiming innocence and urging the government to reconsider the actions taken under the previous administration, which employed the Alien Enemies Act to facilitate these deportations. The situation raises significant concerns about the criteria used for identifying gang affiliations and the potential dangers faced by deported individuals in El Salvador.
