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.
This makes more sense when they show that image of his social media post.
It wasn’t about the tattoo or the rock out hand gesture. It was skin color.
