All of them were innocent, since none had trials

This is a braindead take. The man wasn't sent to El Salvador for having an autism awareness tattoo. He was sent there because he wasn't white. He just happens to have an autism awareness tattoo.

It's like saying a Japanese American in WW2 was rounded up because he was wearing a hat. Or that a black man was lynched during segregation because he knew how to whistle.

It just misses the mark so much and completely ignores the real reason. Ask yourself, if this man didn't have any tattoos, would he still have been sent to El Salvador? If the answer is yes, then the tattoo literally doesn't matter.
