Summary

Jerce Reyes Barrios, a Venezuelan soccer player, was deported to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act after U.S. authorities mistook his soccer logo tattoo for a gang symbol.

Barrios legally entered the U.S. in 2024 and was accused of being a Tren de Aragua gang member.

His attorney argued the tattoo resembled Real Madrid’s logo and provided evidence of his clean record.

Despite a court order blocking such deportations, Barrios was sent to El Salvador, and his current whereabouts are unknown.

    He’s still a war criminal, so maybe he should be deported to Iraq or Afghanistan.

      I’ll say it a thousand times: Democrats being unwilling to prosecute War Crimes is why they never had the balls to bring Trump to justice for far less worse than War Crimes.
