After the 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego Gracia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, made the first appearance since his arrest, US President Donald Trump took to social media to share an alleged altered photo of Kilmar's hand and linked it to the MS-13 gang, stating he is “not fine and innocent”.
The photo of Abrego Garcia w/Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) from Thurs clearly shows no “MS-13” tattoo shop on either hand - nor in earlier photos”. Another said, ”Why did Donald Trump just lie to the American people even more about Kilmar Ábrego García being a gang member? Just had ChatGPT closely examine this photo that Donald Trump is holding, and clearly, even AI technology can confirm that the "MS13" was photoshopped onto this image."

These people are f%#^ing idiots. The MS 13 was put there intentionally to show the coded meaning of his tattoos. Some are just stupid.
Who do you believe?
-— “Mint is an award-winning business publication from India...”
Additionally, an X post attributed to Stephen Miller claimed the deportation was deliberate, stating, “He was not mistakenly sent to El Salvador; this was the right person sent to the right place,” and alleged a Department of Justice (DOJ) official who pushed the "error" narrative was terminated.
Photoshop or not, Trump staff needs to get someone into that prison to wash that creep’s hands and take a photo of his tattoos.
I don’t like how the debate has shifted and the threshold for deportation seems to be whether they are gang members or not. I know there are reasons for this pertaining to this guy’s legal case etc.
However illegal aliens should be deported whether they are MS-13 or not.
Wasn’t the administrative error stated to the courts?
If he was a baby boomer none of this would be an issue.
He was convicted in not one but 2 different courts of being an MS-13 gangbanger.
Next you will be producing a story that claims that the woman's daughter who was slaughtered by an MS-13 immigrant was false too.
But with due process.
Certainly not Trump staff. If this is a photoshopped image used by the WH, who’s to say a prison picture wouldn’t be the same? It needs done by an independent 3rd party and broadcast in real time.
A distraction. The bottom line is that he was here in violation of our laws regarding immigration. Deportation is a reasonable response, gang affiliation or not. The administration must continue pedal to the metal on this effort.. Get them OUT. ALL of them.
Trump laser-pointering the media in his patented way. They pitch a fit over the added letters. People will understand the letters were to explain the symbols. Net effect is everyone knows this guy was MS13.
Any fair minded person knew exactly what they were looking at...the tattoo’s were known gang symbols and anyone in the know knows they indicated MS-13. The letters were there to help interpret. It’s like saying that interpreting the word “leche” with subtitles into “milk” is a dishonest alteration.
If I break into your house and you call the police to remove me, am I allowed to demand due process before they can make me leave?
Who do you believe?
Only a dyed in the wool Never Trumper would post this article.
Thank you
