LOS ANGELES (CBS) ― A Los Angeles man who claimed his gang tattoos would get him tortured in El Salvador has lost a bid to avoid deportation.

An appeals court has rejected a plea for asylum by Jean Arteaga.

Arteaga came to this country when he was four years old but was ordered deported because of several felony convictions.

He asked to be granted humanitarian refugee status because of fears the gang tattoos that cover much of his body would mark him for persecution and possibly torture by rival gang members in El Salvador.

Gangs tattoos are often used to identify membership to allies, but outside the group's domain, rivals view the branded members as threats.

But the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said he couldn't provide evidence to back up the claim.

Isn't that the same thing he has to worry about in the U.S. as well?!! Considering El Salvador is one of the countries where MS13 originated I'm sure he'll have lots of homies watching his back. His death would just mean that's one alien that won't be returning right after ICE drops him off. Good riddance.
