On 18 April, Trump showed a clear picture with a tattoo of Kilmar Abrego Garcia with a tattoo on him with “MS -13”. At that time I felt that this story was very exaggerated, but today, an interview with Trump came that changed everything.
background story
In March 2025, the Trump administration began to deport the alleged gang members-most of the people in Venezuela accuse Train de Argua-Al-Salavador’s high-security secot gel under the Alien enemies of 1798. Despite the preventive order of a federal judge, the administration proceeded, not implemented the order. Many deports had no American criminal records, and a CBS investigation revealed that there were only serious allegations in a small number. The US paid $ 6 million to detain individuals for a year to Al Salvador, causing proper process violations and backlash from human rights groups on prison conditions.
The Salvadoran National in Maryland, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was accidentally excluded in the high-protection CECOT jail of Al Salvador due to an administrative error by American Immigration Officers. Despite the 2019 court order, despite providing him protection from exile, the Trump administration cited uncomfortable claims citing relations with MS -13. The US Supreme Court later illegally ruled his exile and ordered his return, but the administration protested while arguing on the judicial overache.
Facts known about Kilmar Abrego Garcia
In 2019, he was arrested in Maryland seeking day labor work; Officials cited their dress and a confidential informer claim to suggest MS -13 gang affiliation. In 2022, he was pulled out, increasing the suspicion of human trafficking, transporting eight passengers without goods to drive a guilty human smuggler vehicle in Tennessee. Additionally, a 2021 domestic misconduct complaint accused him of physical violence to his wife, although he later withdrew the claims. Despite these incidents, Abrego Garcia has not been convicted for any crime, and their family and legal representatives deny all the allegations, saying that they have no connection with criminal organizations.
Has Kilmar Abrego Garcia tattooed “MS -13” on his knuckles?
On 19 April, Trump posted an image on the X of Garcia’s knuckle with symbols below, and the “MS13” text above. The color of the text matches the color of the tattoo below, causing many people to believe that someone has photoshopped the text on the image to frame Garcia. This accused Trump of tattooing and lies about Garcia’s gang affiliation to write articles with countless news organizations with controversial titles.
As someone who uses Photoshop every day, I was very interested in this story, but after a few moments of viewing it, the story appeared more anti -trump “fake news”. Yes, the text was clearly added to the photo, but it was not necessarily not nefarious; It was only showing what the symbols below represented.
After Trump released this photo, several photos of Garcia’s tattoo were released and you can clearly see that there is no lesson.
Does the symbols actually represent “MS -13” on Garcia’s knuckle? I have heard arguments from both sides, and for me it seems commendable, but unlikely.
Trump really believes that photoshopped text is real
I was going to write a story this weeks ago, but when I realized that the additional text was only showing the meaning of the symbols, I decided that there was not really a story. You can debate the validity of the interpretation of the tattoo, but there is no debate on the symbols that the lesson was added … right?
This morning I saw an ABC interview with Trump which shocked me. Apparently Trump himself believes that the text added to the image was a real tattoo.

This revelation is a strange turn of events. On the one hand, no one could blame Trump for a photo doctor himself, as he did not even know it was patient. But how is this possible? Who gave this picture to him, and how was its meaning not explained? Hopefully till now, someone has told him that the text was added to the image, and it is the best evidence that we have Garcia’s gang affiliation, will Trump change his opinion about Garcia’s crime?
