Yeah, and the people making all these claims are apparently online neo-Nazi groups, whose claims are being uncritically repeated by the president of the United States… again.
Someone in US law enforcement actually admitted that there were no such things as “MS13 tattoos” - there are literally no gang-specific tattoos that identify them. Tattoos just happen to be popular in that subculture.
As the judge said, if they have such strong evidence that he is a member of MS13, they should have no objection to presenting that evidence in court. That they haven’t says everything we need to know.
Trump’s War on Measurement Means Losing Data on Drug Use, Maternal Mortality, Climate Change and More

It’s worth noting that Project 2025’s lengthy blueprint for the Trump administration makes no explicit recommendation to undo the government’s data-collection efforts. The blueprint is chock full of references to data-based decision-making, and in some areas, such as immigration enforcement, it urges the next administration to collect and share more data than its predecessors had.
But when an administration is making such a concerted effort to stifle assessments of government and society at large, it is hard not to conclude that it lacks confidence in the efficacy of its current national overhaul. As one dataset after another falls by the wayside, the nation’s policymakers are losing their ability to make evidence-based decisions, and the public is losing the ability to hold them accountable for their results. Even if a future administration seeks to resurrect some of the curtailed efforts, the 2025-29 hiatus will make trends harder to identify and understand.
There are no words for how warped these people’s thinking is.
Some suggestion he is not a serious candidate and this is a ‘joke’ but to even joke like that at times like these shows what an utterly worthless piece of shit he probably is.
Besides, the Republican definition of a “joke” is just something they’d like to see how people respond to without getting blamed for putting it out there.
