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.

FYI, it's way worse than just "deported to El Salvador"

from https://tribune.com.pk/story/2534767/why-the-us-deported-venezuelan-immigrants-to-el-salvadors-mega-prison :

Why were they sent to El Salvador?

Under Trump’s deal, El Salvador will detain the deported individuals for one year in CECOT, the largest and most restrictive prison in the country.

The prison, which can hold up to 40,000 inmates, was designed to house El Salvador’s most dangerous gang members.

The decision to send the immigrants to a foreign prison system instead of their home country is unusual and highly controversial. Critics argue that deportees should be sent back to Venezuela rather than to a country where they have no legal ties.
