People are allowed to have tattoos!!!
Even if you don't like them!!!
This is so much racism and xenophobia and my bet is there's also some homophobia (rainbow colors) and ableism (if they caught that it was for autism) involved and this is so fucking evil.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos.
Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

I dunno man, if the WH can point to people from Latin America and say "gang member," and point to people from the Arab world and say "terrorist" or "antisemite," and those designations lead directly to detention or worse, I think we have to acknowledge we're in a pretty bad place.

Brazen refusal to obey. In later peacetime life, not the best impulse. But it had saved her many times
