ABC News reported that an attorney representing one of the men deported by the United States to El Salvador on March 15 under the Alien Enemies Act was targeted because of his tattoo depicting a soccer logo.

Tobin asserted in court documents that Barrios protested against the Maduro regime in Venezuela and was arrested and tortured. He came to the U.S. using CBP One, the Biden administration’s Customs and Border Protection phone app. He arrived in the U.S. last September.
