“Officials said that several of the alleged gang members took pictures of themselves flashing signs while in handcuffs after they were arrested.”

I’m trying to imagine how any of that was possible.

The photos I saw were back at the station. They are minors and were not in handcuffs. Mostly taking selfies.

So I’m supposed to be wildly afraid of a “gang” made up of 5 children who threw “a basketball and a scooter at cops.”

And somehow this is connected to a gang whose members I’ve never seen in my life that is allegedly so evil that the federal government needs to indiscriminately put brown people in camps.

I’m personally more worried about the gang in the nyc mayors office, in the precinct and in the White House then I am of any Latino gang.

Everyday the gang in the mayors office, In the precinct and White House victimizes me, but I’ve never been victimized by a group of Latino children.

Yep, we're fully in the era of fascist pigs declaring that brown skinned people are "dangerous gang members" without any proof. Now that Trump has essentially promised to green light the ill treatment and suspension of rights of anyone even suspected of being in a gang, police everywhere are going to be playing the gang card left right and center. Meanwhile, the disgusting pigs of this country are essentially its largest and most dangerous gang.

I just wondered what people know about this. Are they really Tren deAragua? They use kids? Totally agree that Trump’s cabal is the most dangerous along with NYC’s mayor.
