“This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States, because he is such ‘a fine and innocent person.’ They said he is not a member of MS-13, even though he’s got MS-13 tattooed onto his knuckles and two Highly Respected Courts found that he was a member of MS-13, beat up his wife, etc.” – Trump, posting the above doctored image to Truth Social.
Countless people on social media are pointing to photos taken during Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s meeting with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, making it obvious that “MS-13” was photoshopped onto Garcia’s knuckles. Cultists such as Kremlin-paid extremist Tim Pool are eagerly sharing the fake photo.
Trump just posted a photo of himself holding up a piece of paper claiming to show tattoos on Kilmar Abrego Garcia that are related to MS-13. The paper he’s holding up has been digitally altered to add the characters MS-13.
The claim comes from neo-Nazis on X who say the tattoos cover up “MS-13.”

“The tattoo speculation started swirling after US Attorney General Pam Bondi released documents earlier this week alleging Abrego Garcia was an active MS-13 member […] The documents, though, don’t make any mention of Abrego Garcia brandishing any MS-13-affiliated tattoos.”

Trump fabricates a photo of Mr. Garcia with MS-13 tattoo on his hand. This is NOT a real image. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCISM regimes do. https://t.co/RMAlqku6ad
