I'm surprised nobody has mentioned how these days having a tattoo, no matter which, is a potential one-way ticket to a prison in El Salvador. That's a very good reason to having them removed.

That only applies to non-citizens, like Garcia, and I don't think his MS-13 tattoos were the reason for his removal, he was sent home because he was here illegally and had prior charges (such as beating his wife)
No, it doesn't. When you are denying people due process, that means they can accuse you of being a non-citizen, even when you are.

If everyone doesn't have the right to due process, no one does.

Of course it has nothing to do with his tattoos.
