S.W.A.T. Exiles Showrunner Explains Jude’s Tattoo and New Romance

Jude and Sammy, two new recruits, start a relationship while staying at their teammate Ethan’s apartment.

They keep it quiet at first because their team is still figuring out how they work together.

Jude’s tattoo points to a difficult past: he went undercover in a white supremacist group and shot another officer to protect his cover.

He was cleared, but some people in the department still question what the experience did to him.
