A Dallas man was arrested, deported and sent to a notoriously dangerous El Salvadoran prison — and it may have been because of an autism awareness tattoo. That’s according to new reporting from Mother Jones.
It’s part of a Trump administration policy of sending Venezuelan men accused of gang affiliations to the Terrorism Confinement Center, also known as CECOT.
In most or all cases, they're being locked up without charges or due process, and family members believe they're being targeted because of tattoos.
That includes Dallas bakery worker Neri Alvarado, who was picked up by ICE even though there appears to be no evidence he had any gang ties.
This is what he was deported for:

Conservatives responding to this will say he has gang ties because they said so. Evidence? LOL we don't need no steenkin' evidence!
