Rap sheets, photos of suspected Tren de Aragua gang members Trump admin tried to deport

The Trump administration on Saturday released the rap sheets and photos of alleged Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang members detained in Texas who the administration is trying to deport. The suspects of the violent Venezuelan gang were going to be deported using the recently reinstated Alien Enemies Act of 1798 before the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled Saturday morning against deportations under the 18th-century law.

In a decision in favor of the American Civil Liberties Union, the administration was barred from removing Venezuelans held in Texas’ Bluebonnet Detention Center “until further order of this court.” Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the majority opinion.

SCOTUS previously ruled the president could conduct deportations under the Alien Enemies Act as long as suspected illegal aliens were afforded due process to challenge their removal from the U.S.

“These are some of the TdA gang members detained in Texas that we are trying to deport,” a senior Trump official told Fox News. TdA, designated a foreign terrorist organization on Feb. 20 by the Department of State, has thousands of members, many of whom the White House says have unlawfully infiltrated the U.S. and are “undertaking hostile actions against the United States.”

Photos released by the administration of suspected TdA members who made the list show various tattoos, weapons, jewelry, and money. Officials also noted each suspected member’s prior criminal convictions and current charges.

Here are some of the Bluebonnet Detention Center inmates the White House claims are Venezuelan citizens and confirmed TdA members who would have been deported:

– Henry Jose Romero-Gonzalez: Romero-Gonzalez has pending criminal charges for three counts of assault, crimes against a person, and unlawful possession of a weapon. Photos appear to show Romero-Gonzalez in a sports car with an expensive watch and a large amount of cash, various tattoos, and holding a gun.
– Alessandro Benedikt Parades-Worwa: Parades-Worwa faces criminal charges for aggravated assault with a weapon and pointing and presenting guns at a person. Photos show a number of Parades-Worwa’s tattoos.
– Cristian Andres Andrade-Vargas: Andrade-Vargas is charged with larceny and possessing dangerous drugs. Photos show various tattoos, including one above his left eyebrow.
– Norge Yunaifer Rosales-Ceballos: Rosales-Ceballos was convicted of criminal flight to avoid prosecution and has been charged with alien smuggling and resisting an officer. A photo shows a large tattoo on Rosales-Ceballos’ neck behind his right ear.
– Felix Josue Rendon-Garcia: Rendon-Garcia is charged with drug possession and possession of dangerous drugs. Photos show one of his tattoos with a date below it.
– Darrin Moises Daza-Segura: Daza-Segura was convicted of criminal burglary and larceny. Photos show various tattoos, including “VIDA” on his knuckles.
– Ronny Javier Rodriguez-Tovar: Rodriguez-Tovar has multiple criminal convictions, including hit-and-run, battery, possession of stolen property, driving under the influence, and shoplifting. Photos show an electronic device with “T.D.A.” and “Venezuela” written on it.
– Howard Emis Omana: Omana is charged with aggravated assault with a weapon. Photos show social media posts of Omana holding a gun and throwing up alleged gang signs.
– Angel Ignacio Cardenas-Bravo: Cardenas-Bravo faces criminal charges for aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, child neglect with great bodily harm, resisting an officer with violence, domestic violence battery, carrying a concealed gun, and possession of a gun during the commission of a felony.

The Trump administration is working to deport these alleged TdA gang members, but the recent Supreme Court ruling has put a hold on their deportation. The administration is continuing to fight for their removal from the U.S. as they pose a threat to national security.
