Our Taxes Pay For This

Andry Hernández Romero is a makeup artist who came to the US legally. He had NO criminal record but was snatched by ICE and shipped to CECOT in El Salvador. While imprisoned (for four months!) he was sexually assaulted by guards, tortured, and denied food.

Though he entered the United States legally at the San Diego border, appeared for an appointment the U.S. government gave him, and passed an initial credible fear interview, federal agents cited his tattoos—crowns reading “mom” and “dad”—as alleged proof of membership in the Tren de Aragua gang, something his lawyers continue to deny.

More on the ridiculously wholesome origin of his tattoos and more about Andry here. 

Naturally, lying sack of shit and Homeland Security LARP-hag Kristi Noem has poo-pooed his abuse claims. All the human trafficked men, including Hernández Romero, were called “criminal, illegal gang members.” Of course they were. And Cricket was an evil, viciously wild, demon possessed horror show dog. KKKristi had no choice but to shoot the puppy dead in a gravel pit. And the goat? Well, he was guilty of being a goat ! Case closed, right? WRONG!

About that gang, Tren de Aragua (Train of Aragua), according to InSight Crime a non-profit think tank and media org specializing in organized crime in Latin America and the Caribbean: 

   1. Gang members do not use tattoos to identify themselves 

…Tren de Aragua does not use tattoos or other symbols like colors or clothing to identify its members. 
In fact, many gangs in the region that once used tattoos to identify themselves, such as the MS13, have moved away from them precisely because they help law enforcement identify them.

This makes a obvious amounts of sense, does it not? 

   2. The gang is not controlled by the Venezuelan government 
Stinky claimed that Venezuelan Prez Nicolás Maduro directed Tren de Aragua to invade the US. There’s no evidence to support this. In fact, Maduro’s been coming down on the gang HARD. Unsurprisingly, the orange idiot's lying. I mean, his mouth opened so of course he was.

    3. The gang is getting weaker, not more powerful
They’re in law enforcement’s big shiny spotlight and have been for a while now. Tren de Aragua get a LOT of press but there have also been a shitload of busts of their leaders (part of the reason for all the press? I’m betting on it). This has fragmented the group.

Hernández Romero is back in Venezuela now but still in danger. Remember, he left Venezuela for asylum in the US because he feared persecution for being gay and because of his opposition to Venezuela’s authoritarian government.

Maybe, in the short term, he’s safer in Venezuela than the US though. Trump and his crew of vile humanity haters ensured that Andry was stolen, imprisoned, beaten, shot with rubber bullets, sexually assaulted and locked in a dark cell. They didn’t pull the triggers, deliver the blows, rape his abused, weakened body but they enabled all that and more to happen. So did every single immoral, merciless, violent ICE bounty hunter.

Gee, ain’t America great!

Venezuela’s attorney general, Tarek Saab, has said his office will investigate Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele regarding the CECOT torture reports. Yeah sure. I’m not holding my breath here. That’s like Tag el-Sir el-Hibi, Attorney General of South Sudan, investigating Trump, Netanyahu or Putin for gross inhumanity and obscene abuses of power.

FYI, South Sudan is currently listed as the most corrupt country on the planet. I know, shocks me too. I was sure the U.S. was a lock for the weaseliest! 

Fat lot of good Saab sitting down with Bukele will do. They’ll just have a night of expensive brandy, steaks, pliant serfs and compare dictator notes – maybe a photo op for the papers too.

Stinky will be devastated that he wasn’t invited!

“Many of our fellows have wounds from the nightsticks; they have fractured ribs, fractured fingers and toes, marks from the handcuffs,” he said, according to Reuters. “Others have marks on their chests, on their face ... from the projectiles.” (source)
