The disappointment and grief of this moment is sometimes overwhelming. It hurts. Tonight it feels especially heavy.

Tomorrow is a new day. I still believe that love will win the day.

But tonight… I weep. I lament. How long, O Lord?

The men sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison:

- A tattoo artist seeking asylum who entered legally.
- A teen who got a tattoo in Dallas because he thought it looked cool.
- A 26-year-old whose tattoos his wife says are unrelated to a gang.
- A barber whose family says he has no gang ties.
Lindsay Toczylowski @l-toczylowski.bsky.social Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. March 15, 2025 at 11:33 PM Lindsay Toczylowski @l-toczylowski... • 1d Our client worked in the arts in Venezuela. He is LGBTQ. His tattoos are benign. But ICE submitted photos of his tattoos as evidence he is Tren de Aragua. His @ImmDef attorney planned to present evidence he is not. But never got the chance because our client has been disappeared. Solanyer said an ICE officer told her that her brother was detained because of a tattoo that linked him to Tren de Aragua, a violent gang with Venezuelan prison origins that has spread through the Americas. She said the tattoo depicted a rose and that he had gotten it in a tattoo parlor in Dallas. "He thought it looked cool, looked nice, it didn't have any other significance," she said, stressing that he is not a gang member. Caraballo had multiple tattoos including ones of roses, a clock with this daughter's birth time, a lion and a shaving razor, said his wife. "I've never seen him without hair, so I haven't recognized him in the photos," she said. "I just suspect he's there because of the tattoos that he has and right now any Venezuelan man with tattoos is assumed to be a gang member", she added, citing also the fact that he has effectively gone missing. Sanchez said her husband has never been a member of Tren de Aragua. taseenb @taseenb People have started identifying some of the 238 Venezuelan migrants deported to Bukele's torture dungeons by the U.S. fascist regime. The brother of one of them posted that his relative is a barber with no criminal record and no links to any criminal organisations. Anahi انائي @ANAHI1938-1d Sebastián García Casique publicó en Instagram que, es hermano de uno de los 238 venezolanos deportados a El Salvador señalado de pertenecer a la banda Tren de Aragua. "Nunca había estado preso, nunca ha cometido un delito, ni en Venezuela u otro país".
