Summary

Trump reportedly held up a digitally altered image of the hand of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was deported by the Trump administration, in an attempt to prove Garcia is a gang member.

Trump can be seen holding a printed-out photo… demonstrating that “MS-13” is tattooed across his knuckles.

“This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back,” Trump posted. However, many have pointed out that the image appears photoshopped.

“MS-13 looks like it was typed on the photo.” “Needing to have a photo doctored… is definitely something a psychopath would do.”

    Alright, I’ll take the bait. Let’s all assume he has an MS-13 tattoo. What does this change? The dude still gets his constitutional rights, and his day in court. On US soil.

    Who do I trust?

    A lying asswipe who wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped him in his orange face?

    A man I don’t know that has been sent to a foreign nation’s prison for no reason?

    Easy choice.

    Ok, so what happened here is that police added letters to the photo explaining what each symbol means. Some idiots on twitter thought those added letters are the claimed MS-13 tattoo. It’s not clear if Trump also thought that those letters were actually tattooed, probably yes.

      Bruh. So they went from M to S to 1 to 3? Instead of A to B to C … to 1 to 2 to 3?

      No. Don’t try to muddy the waters and spread more supposition as fact. Trump has already been proven to alter images to fit his own internal incorrect narrative, just look at that hurricane path incident from his last term. All evidence and common sense points to someone digitally editing this picture in order to fabricate support for this man’s illegal deportation.

        I think the point is that we all know they put in the MS13 digitally

        The argument isnt against that

        We all know it

        The argument is that the republicans arent arguing he literally has MS13 tattooed

        But that even they know that was added

        And thats its just added to help people figure out why the tattoos would represent MS13

        Its not that Republicans are saying the edited in part is part of the tattoo

        Just that the tattoos that are there represent MS13

    It’s not photoshopped. Why do you think in the wife’s posts, she tries to cleverly cover his hand? The guy got pulled over with 8 people in his car also, traveling from Texas to Maryland, and when asked for their addresses, everyone of them gave his address in Maryland. The guy was arrested with other MS13 gang members to and was identified by an informant as being member of the gang. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck… https://redstate.com/beccalower/2025/04/18/leftists-are-losing-their-minds-over-trump-photo-of-abrego-garcias-ms-13-tattoos-here-are-the-receipts-n2188040

      You are missing the point. Let’s first ignore the fact that the link you provided is anecdotal and contains not one thread of proof, we are supposed to be a society of law, and if he is a criminal there needs to be due process and he should NOT be sent to a concentration camp.

        Not missing the point at all. The Laken Rilley Act was passed for a reason. He doesn’t need to be convicted of anything to be deported. He only needs to be arrested

        Lol, reassuring yourself with the left-wing bias website I see. Just stay in that echo chamber bud. They would never tell you something that wasn’t true. Trust me
