How it happens6:24Trump’s fixation on the tattoos of the most incorrect deported person nothing more than a distraction, says lawyer
It doesn’t matter what kind of tattoos Kilmar Abrego Garcia says, says his lawyer.
What Rina Gandhi counts is that her client has been wrongly deported to El Salvador, where, despite two court commands, which the US government provide for the backwater, he remains locked up without indictment.
US President Trump handled these commands when Garcia has a violent gangster and pointed out his ankle tattoos as evidence.
“His character, whether he deserves – what the administration tries to promote the narrative that we should be interested in – is not relevant,” said Gandhi, Gandhi said to How it happens Host Nil Kӧksal.
“If the government with the district court does not return the order of the district court in accordance with the order of the Supreme Court, we should all be concerned and ask ourselves, who is the next?”
Contradictable statements from the Trump administration
Garcia, a Salvadorian migrant who lives with his wife and three children in Maryland, was arrested on March 14th and asked about his alleged participation in the gang MS-13, which the US State Department described as foreign terrorist organization.
His lawyers deny that he has any gang affiliations. He was not charged with crimes.
Garcia was sent to El Salvador on March 15, despite a year in 2019 Court decision that his deportation is exploited to the country. The Trump administration later admitted that it was an administrative error.
A district judge in Maryland ordered that Garcia’s administration “facilitates and causes immediate return”, and the Supreme Court of the United States confirmed the judgment.

The US government has repeatedly insisted that Garcia’s fate is not in her hands, and only Salvadoranian President Nayib Bukele has the authority to free him.
In an interview with ABC Moran from ABC News on Tuesday, Trump admitted that he could release Garcia and return with a simple call if he wanted to.
“They talk from both sides of their mouth,” said Gandhi. “It is frustrating and I don’t have a good answer to how we somehow understand these contradictory statements.”
She accused the administration of “slandering the name of this man and interpreting everything in the media, but they know that they have not put anything in a real dish”.
“This is not the approach I believe in, and that is not the system that I believe in,” she said.
Ankle tattoos
In the same ABC interview, Trump insisted that Garcia had an MS-13 tattoo on his ankles.
Photos of Garcia show that he has four symbols on his ankles: a leaf, a smiley face, a cross and a skull. Several experts said the tattoos were not proof of a gang composition.
On social media, Trump repeatedly shared a photo of herself that has overlaid a printed photo of Garcias Knöchel -Tattoos with “MS 1 3” above the photo in the digital text, with each character with one of the tattoos.
In his interview with Moran, Trump insisted that the photos he shared were unchanged and seemed to imply that Garcia had literally tattooed the name of the gang on his ankles.
When Moran tried to correct the recording, Trump joined: “MS-13. It’s called MS-13.”
Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered over the weekend in the United States to condemn President Donald Trump’s deportation policy and describe it at the end of the proper procedure. At the same time, the Supreme Court blocked the removal of migrants that the White House wanted to deport to a war law.
Gandhi says that she cannot confirm in one way or another what tattoos her client has because she and her colleagues “have been refused to access him”.
When asked how he is behind bars, she said: “I would like to tell you. The real answer is that I don’t know. I find information about him as well as you.”
Allegations for domestic abuse
Trump and his officials also accused Garcia of domestic violence and cited a protective arrangement of 2021 submitted by his wife Jennifer Vasquez Sura, which accused him of having physically attacked.
Sura said in a statement on April 16 that she decided to drop the petition and that she and her husband “were able to work through this situation privately as a family, including advice,” reports BBC News.
She has campaigned for his cause since his deportation.
“He was illegally imprisoned, kidnapped and disappeared from the Trump government, although she admitted that it was a mistake,” said Sura on Wednesday during a protest in Washington, DC “to watch for everyone.”
The Democrats meanwhile started Garcia’s case with Senator Chris van Hollen in Maryland Visit him in El Salvador last month.
Democratic senators have introduced a resolution to force the administration to report the congress about the steps that are doing to comply with the dishes and to force another to review the questions of human rights in El Salvador in El Salvador.
The Trump government has deported hundreds of people in the past few months as part of the extraterrestrial enemy law of 1798, mainly Venezuelans, to El Salvador and accused them of being gang members without evidence or legal proceedings.
A US federal judge decided that the deportations were “beyond the law on the framework of the law”.
Gandhi says that despite the view of how the head was in this case, she believes that the rule of law prevails and her client is released.
“I think we should all believe in it because our society is built.
