Irgendwelche selbsterklärten Experten behaupten jetzt natürlich, dass die Buchstaben und Zahlen nur so schlecht in das Foto gephotoshopped worden seien, um zu zeigen, wofür die tätowierten Symbole auf Garcias Fingern wirklich stehen, bzw. was sie angeblich verdecken sollen.
Schön ist auch die Geschichte, die der Senator zu erzählen hat, der sich mit dem abgeschobenen "Gang"-Mitglied in El Salvador treffen durfte:
‘He’s got MS-13 tattooed onto his knuckles’: Trump appears to hold up photoshopped image of Abrego Garcia’s hand
The spelled-out ‘MS-13’ doesn’t appear on his hand in recent photos of Abrego Garcia posted on his wife’s TikTok account
Alles anzeigen[...] The president issued his statement with the photo just hours after Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen, who came to El Salvador in the hopes of aiding in Abrego Garcia’s release, gave a press conference explaining his meeting with the detained man and the strange events that followed.
Nayib Bukele, the country’s president, posted photos of the pair’s meeting at the senator’s hotel that featured salt-rimmed glasses that he claimed were “margaritas.”
“Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the ‘death camps’ [and] ‘torture’, now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!” Bukele mocked in a social media post on Thursday. “Now that he’s been confirmed healthy, he gets the honor of staying in El Salvador’s custody.”
The dressed-up glasses were placed on the table by Bukele’s aides, Van Hollen said at a Friday news conference.
“When I first sat down we just had glasses of water on the table, maybe some coffee,” Van Hollen said. “As we were talking, [an] official came over and put two other glasses on the table … This is a lesson, the lengths President Bukele would do to deceive people about what’s going on.”
He added that Bukele’s aides initially tried to stage the meeting near the hotel’s pool.
“They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar, which of course is a big, fat lie,” the senator said.
After Bukele posted the photos, a handful of rightwing internet personalities and Republican lawmakers became laser-focused on Abrego Garcia’s hand tattoos.
“That’s an interesting tattoo for just a regular ‘Maryland man’ to have on his hand,” conservative commentator Benny Johnson remarked in a post that included a zoomed-in photo of Abrego Garcia’s hand. This image also doesn’t feature “MS-13” written out.
On Thursday, an appeals court unanimously rejected the administration’s request to block a court order to enforce a Supreme Court ruling requiring the government to “facilitate” the release of Abrego Garcia.
“The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order,” one of the appellate judges wrote.
