Trump Infuriates Liberals as He Shares ‘Proof’ Deported Thug Is MS-13 Gangster
Stephen M. Lepore, Daily Mail, April 18, 2025
A smirking Donald Trump tonight shared ‘proof’ that a deported illegal migrant who has become a martyr to liberals is a member of the notorious MS-13 cartel.

Trump seemed to offer a rebuttal to the left by posting what he said were photos of knuckle tattoos representing MS-13 and belonging to Abrego Garcia on Truth Social Friday night.
‘This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States, because he is such ‘a fine and innocent person,” Trump wrote.

It features tattoos on his fingers that officials have previously described: a marijuana leaf, a smiley face, a cross, and a skull. ‘MS-13’ is now spelled across the knuckles in the photo Trump posted.
However, those letters and numbers are digitally added on and Pam Bondi made no mention of any tattoos representing the deadly gang in documents accusing Abrego Garcia of being a member.
Still, some have alleged that the tattoos are meant to be code, a marijuana leaf representing the letter M, a smiley face representing the letter S, a cross being a cover up for the number one and a skull meant to be covering up the number three.
Trump sees it as proof that he’s found out Abrego Garcia as a member of the infamous gang.
‘They said he is not a member of MS-13, even though he’s got MS-13 tattooed onto his knuckles, and two Highly Respected Courts found that he was a member of MS-13, beat up his wife, etc.’

Abrego Garcia’s lawyers have denied any links to MS-13, the notorious prison gang that Trump insists he is affiliated with, and stated he has no criminal convictions.

Abrego Garcia entered the US illegally in 2011. A judge blocked his return to El Salvador in 2019, citing the fact that gangsters were after him, but said he could be deported elsewhere.
In court filings this week, the Trump administration said he was deported to El Salvador in error. The Supreme Court has since ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return to the US.
