The White House got caught red-handed. CBS News exposed that the “MS-13” tattoo on Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s knuckles was digitally faked, cooked up to paint him as a gang member and justify his deportation. No gang tattoos…just a weed leaf, smiley face, cross, and skull, per UNLV expert Robert Lovato, who debunked the “gang sign” nonsense. Trump pushed this doctored image like it was truth, and his fanbase swallowed it whole. Pathetic. The guy’s a liar, rigging photos to demonize immigrants. CBS has the receipts, so maybe check facts before you cheer for this con. #TrumpLies #FakeTattoo
“On Monday, Mr. Trump again shared a photo of Abrego Garcia's left hand on
social media, alleging he "had 'MS-13' tattooed onto his knuckles." The image shows the characters "M," "S," "1" and "3" digitally added above Abrego Garcia's existing tattoos — a leaf, a smiley face, a cross and a skull — along with labels describing each symbol beneath. ”
Gang experts and researchers said that while tattoos could carry gang-related meaning, they aren't enough to prove gang membership.
