Apparently, wearing the wrong clothes can get Americans labeled gang members and sent to El Salvador. I would like to avoid that fate. Unfortunately, I can't keep up with all the colors and symbols that are associated with gangs.
Does anyone have recommendations for safe clothing to wear as a signal that I'm not a gang member? I'm not willing to wear a MAGA hat or other explicitly pro-Trump crap, but I'm willing to wear whatever else could protect me.

Even Joe Rogan upset?
Joe Rogan said it’s “horrific” to think non-criminals could be lumped in with violent migrant gang members and shipped off to maximum security prisons in Latin America as the US ramps up its deportation efforts.
On Saturday’s episode of the “#JoeRogan Experience,” the mega-podcaster said he was worried about reports of mix-ups in the mass deportations of #migrants.
“The thing is, like, you got to get scared that people who are not criminals are getting, like, lassoed up and deported and sent to, like, #ElSalvador prisons”
