The article is a based on another article. Mother Jones appears to have broken the story: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/03/trump-el-salvador-venezulea-deportation-prison-cecot-bukele/ https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/03/trump-el-salvad...
Unfortunately, the article isn't well written (in my opinion) and it seems details of the other tattoos are not provided, although I may have missed it.
- financetechbro 2y agoFTA > The tattoo on Suárez’s neck is of a colibrí, a hummingbird. His wife said it is meant to symbolize “harmony and good energy.” She said his other tattoos, like a palm tree on his hand—an homage to Suárez’s late mother’s use of a Venezuelan expression about God being greater than a coconut tree—were similarly innocuous. Nevertheless, they may be why Suárez has been effectively disappeared by the US government into a Salvadoran mega-prison.
- Ferret7446 2y agoIsn't that a question for the Salvadoran government? The US is responsible for deporting illegal immigrants, and it is up to El Salvador whether the persons are criminals that need to be imprisoned in El Salvador or left to return home like a regular Salvadoran citizen.
- therealcamino 2y ago"Suárez, a 33-year-old native of Caracas, Venezuela" is in the second sentence of the Mother Jones article. He is not a Salvadoran citizen, he's been sent to a third country by the US.
