I know america is fascist now and that should be common knowledge at this point, but this guy literally got disappeared into the ~~mega prison~~ concentration camp in el Salvador because he wanted to show support for his autistic brother.

No trial, no reason given.

I seriously do not have the words for how sick this makes me feel.

Are they deporting him to Autistan, because they don't know what autism means and nobody bothered to look it up?

the title seems like click bait. It doesn't says anywhere in the news article that autism tattoo was the reason for detention. He had 2 other tattoos which could be whatever and people who detained him would have thought of those other tattoos, not necessary of the one related to autism. Which of course doesn't excuse any deportations or police terror. Just article title is misleading.
