One thing I noted is that the majority of the people that got deported had tattoos.
Are they intentionally seeking people like that?
That's exactly what El Salvador does. They have a database of gang-affiliated tats and that's enough to take them in. https://youtu.be/tWjq0ECRxhA
Guess that's good enough for America now too.
I mean, this is a level too generic. They aren't going after 60 year old women with the Rolling Stones logo tattoo'd on their thigh. However, if you are heavily tattoo'd and from a certain part of the world and a certain race, you should be pretty jittery. There's been some collateral damage in all the ICE sweeps. The current administration is far from highly competent, and their error rate is carrying over to these arrests and deportations. I don't trust Trump and co. with the smallest of operations, so I definitely don't trust them with life-or-death, potentially citizenship-violating mass arrests.
yes, they are explicitly going after people with tattoos https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/ice-list-venezuelan-immigrants-gang-members-1235306641/
Not just American deportees...
