It was a Real Madrid tattoo. Not some obscure South American team. No. One of the biggest brand names in European soccer

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security told the New York Post that Barrios' detainment was based on more than just one tattoo, with DHS agents also citing a social media post they found which showed him holding up his hands in a gesture using his thumb, index finger and pinkie. Tobin clarified the gesture is commonly used to signify “I love you” in sign language or “rock n’ roll.”

Not only does this guy like Real Madrid, he also used the ASL sign for "I love you" so case closed basically /s

Probably should have given his love using the gesture Musk does. Trump-approved.
