A lawyer warns the Trump administration is attempting to deport a teenager to El Salvador based on a photo of a water pistol, accusing him of gang membership. The teenager, identified as Y.S.M., was allegedly targeted by immigration officials who claimed a Facebook photo proved his affiliation with the Tren de Aragua gang. The lawyer confirmed the "gun" in the photo was a water pistol. This deportation attempt follows the administration's controversial removal of migrants to El Salvador, with some facing detention in a notorious mega-prison, raising concerns about due process and human rights.
