I think something this article missed is that the autism awareness tattoo, while looking absolutely nothing like a gang tattoo, does very much look like a pride tattoo, and we know these people are not only targeting immigrants (or people who look like immigrants) but also trans and the LGBTQ+ community at large.

MODERATORS
would not be surprised if they started targeting autists though. be safe out there.
I don't see any pictures of the tattoo in the article. For anyone curious, this video shows the tattoo at about 2:15.
It's a colorful, twisted ribbon made of puzzle pieces. The name of his 15 year old brother, who has autism, is on the tattoo.
I cropped out the screenshot here:
Jesus fucking Christ.
Obviously it's the rainbow. They thought it was an LGBTQ+ thing.
Yeaah, they knew that wasn't a gang tattoo.
Too colorful for the Magats, looks too close to a pride flag for their comfort.
Doesn't hegseth have worse tattoos?
Hegseth has white supremacist tattoos. Those are approved of.
"~~approved of.~~"
Encouraged.
FTFY
I wouldn't be surprised to find that they knew and did it anyway.
Now youre waking up! Youre spot on.
This is a test to see if they can deport citizens. Their end goal is jail anyone who opposes the reigm. This is a baby step.
Yep.
Take note, the regime does not care that they did something wrong. They. Do. Not. Care.
And their fans continue to cheer them on. This country is fucked.
i hope he dies soon (obvs i don't mean the man with the tattoo)
MURICAAAAAA
Useless headline
They are doing mass deportations so there will always be cases like this.
This comment is too dismissive. It shouldn't be about "oh well everyone's getting slain" - it's hard to reach 360 million people barely surviving the week and their own personal struggles like being able to afford food, while also living in a soon-to-be Nazi hellscape. If one particular story about one particular person or group triggers people into action, it is good.
The orphan crushing machine apologist
Have you seen the prisons that they put these people in. Technically they aren't prisoners but they are packed in and not allowed to leave.
Creating lots of click bait doesn't do anything
This isn't click bait, it's informative for people who may not necessarily have been aware of the extent of this.
They're not just deporting them. They're sending them to an overseas black site prison notorious for crimes against humanity, including torture.
On the contrary. They can hide this kind of thing in the numbers. Reporting on egregious individual cases has a chance to heighten awareness.
I like how in Denver they made ICE look like a bunch of idiots.
They went to raid a apartment building and it was totally empty
Useless comment. They're illegally doing mass deportations which causes cases like this. If they didn't break the constitution and listened to the court order this wouldn't have happened. The criminals would be deported after a trial. The fact maga is excusing this shows how despicable they truly are. If any Democrat ignored a court order you all would be beating police officers in the streets with flag poles, and trying to drag the vp to the gallows.
Useless comment.
I disagree, his comment made it obvious that I should block him.
Yep, plonk.
The fact maga is excusing this shows how despicable they truly are.
There's a sentence that works for many contexts.
You are misunderstanding
I'm not supporting mass deportation as that's a huge human rights violation. All I'm saying is that click bait articles rarely do anything long term.
No there won't.
Source: Bush didn't do this
He wasn't just deported. He was deported without due process to a slave labor camp.
This is going exactly like the Holocaust.
mass deportations
that is the problem. Deport as much mass as possible. Guidance around "deportation of criminals" can mean more "mass" if defined as any objectionable/unknown tattoo, instead of a narrower mandate of specific known gang affiliation tattoos. That would still be a problem in that a tattoo is not a criminal conviction.
