This is about the deportation on March 15 to El Salvador’s prisons of several hundred Venezuelans. Attorneys have filed suit in Federal D.C. district court (Judge James Emanuel Boasberg, J.J.G. v. Trump). Jerce Reyes Barrios is one of the persons deported.

The New Republic writes, “According to an attorney [Linette Tobin]…Reyes Barrios’s petition for asylum was pending, with a hearing scheduled for April, when he was deported March 15 to El Salvador without any notice to his family or attorney…. The government accuses Reyes Barrios of being a member of the Tren de Aragua gang based on two “Gang Membership Identification Criteria.” The first was a tattoo on his arm of a crown on top of a soccer ball with a rosary and the word “Dios,” which is Spanish for “God.” Reyes Barrios chose this tattoo because it resembles the logo for Spanish soccer team Real Madrid. The second was a social media post with a picture of Reyes Barrios making “rock and roll” or “I love you” hand gestures.”

Here is Reyes Barrio’s submission to the court. Here are many other submissions.
