ICE apparently mistook Jerce Reyes Barrios’ soccer tattoo and innocuous social media posts for gang support.
As has become all too common in the Trump regime, the stunning cruelty is mixed with stunning incompetence.
As The New Republic reported, Jerce Reyes Barrios’ attorney released a sworn statement declaring that Reyes Barrios fled Venezuela after being tortured with electric shocks and suffocation for marching against that country’s authoritarian rule. He applied for asylum in the U.S. and has an asylum hearing scheduled for April 17, 2025.
I can only imagine the horror for Reyes Barrios and his family when he was deported to El Salvador’s hellhole of a prison on March 15, without due process or any notice to his family or his attorney.
