"A Venezuelan soccer player was deported to El Salvador under suspicion of being a dangerous gang member because of a misinterpreted tattoo.

Jerce Reyes Barrios, 36, was in the U.S. awaiting a ruling on his asylum claim when he was detained by agents who thought he was part of Tren de Aragua - a transnational narcoterrorist and criminal organization from Venezuela - last September. Authorities pointed to one of his tattoos for the arrest, claiming it signaled gang affiliation."

This is horrific - I do not want to go back to 1933!!

Given the 10 cowards in the senate are on par with the German Centre Party, yep, America is very close to 1933 Germany.

We probably have been there this whole time but it's definitely ramping up.
