... because I live in Chicago, I too have worn a Chicago Bulls hat. I'm a middle-age, [View all]

I’m a middle-age, non-Hispanic suburban man who’s whiter than ceiling primer, so I’m not sure how or when I became active in Hispanic gang culture. But I’ll admit there are periods of my life – possibly during the haze of new-parent sleep deprivation – that are a bit foggy ... I have a tattoo that includes a skull. The tattoo has lyrics from a Grateful Dead song – “If I knew the way, I would take you home” – next to the iconic Dead skull symbol, which I only recently learned might represent the “3” in MS-13, assuming you can't count ... A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement source did tell the New York Post that Abrego Garcia's tattoos don't prove he's connected to MS-13: “I’ve never heard of those resemblances being made.” So that means the evidence in my case is every bit as strong as in the Abrego Garcia case ...

Wrongly deported Abrego Garcia has tattoo, a Bulls hat. So do I. Am I in MS-13?
