Former President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he insisted that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, had 'MS-13' tattooed on his knuckles—a claim based on a photoshopped image.
During a high-profile interview, Trump doubled down on the false claim, sparking ridicule on social media and raising concerns about the administration's reliance on misinformation in shaping immigration policy. The incident has intensified scrutiny of the government's handling of deportations and the spread of misleading narratives.
The story highlights the ongoing debate over immigration enforcement and the role of fact-checking in political discourse.
