A tattoo of Real Madrid: The Trump administration’s ‘proof’ for deporting a Venezuelan to El Salvador
Jerce Reyes Barrios’ lawyer claims that the famous club’s logo and a hand gesture were enough for authorities to accuse her client, a kids’ soccer coach, of belonging to the Tren de Aragua gang
A tattoo resembling the logo of Real Madrid, his favorite team, appears to have been enough for the Donald Trump administration to decide that 36-year-old Venezuelan professional soccer player Jerce Reyes Barrios was a dangerous terrorist and a member of the Tren de Aragua criminal gang. The children’s soccer coach was deported to El Salvador on one of the Saturday flights that transferred more than 200 Venezuelans subjected to a 300-year-old wartime law that denied them due process.
