The tattoo is a rainbow-colored ribbon made up of puzzle pieces, along with the name of the man's autistic brother, according to NBC Dallas Fort-Worth.
Family and friends of a Venezuelan migrant living in Texas say officials sent him to an El Salvador mega-prison because he had an autism awareness tattoo.
Neri Jose Alvarado Borges was one of the hundreds of men deported by immigration authorities on March 15 to El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center, one of the most dangerous prisons in the world, his friends and family told NBC Dallas Fort Worth on Monday.
Borges has a tattoo that features a rainbow-colored ribbon composed of puzzle pieces, a symbol for autism awareness, along with the name of Borges’s autistic brother, according to the local outlet.
Borge’s friends and family said he was told by immigration authorities that the tattoo was proof he belonged to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
"And he said, 'But I have my asylum, I have the asylum [papers] here with me,'" Juan Enrique Hernandez, a friend of Borges, told NBC Dallas Fort Worth. "And the people said no, you’re going to jail because you have a tattoo."
