Trump Admin Releases Details on Some Gang Members SCOTUS Wants Kept in the U.S.

The Trump administration on Saturday made public the identities, photos, and criminal charges of several suspected members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA), who are currently held at the Bluebonnet Detention Center in Texas.

The release followed a U.S. Supreme Court ruling earlier that day, which temporarily halted the administration’s efforts to deport these individuals using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The ruling, which came in response to legal action led by the American Civil Liberties Union, bars the deportation of the Venezuelan detainees “until further order of this court.”

Trump administration attorneys quickly responded, filing an opposition to the ACLU’s request to block the deportations. Government lawyers emphasized that detainees were given prior notice and time to file habeas corpus petitions before removal proceedings began.

They also urged the justices to limit any stay of deportations to only those individuals who had filed legal challenges.

The Supreme Court had previously ruled that the president can carry out deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, provided those targeted are given due process to contest their removal.

“These are some of the TdA gang members detained in Texas that we are trying to deport,” a senior administration official told Fox News following the ruling.

The Department of State designated Tren de Aragua a foreign terrorist organization on February 20.

The gang is known to have thousands of members, and the White House maintains that many of them have unlawfully entered the U.S., engaging in what it described as “hostile actions against the United States.”

As part of the administration’s response, images of the suspected TdA members were released to the public.

The photos show individuals displaying tattoos, weapons, cash, and gang-related paraphernalia.

Officials also disclosed details of each detainee’s criminal background.

Among the individuals listed:

• Henry Jose Romero-Gonzalez faces pending charges for three counts of assault, crimes against a person, and unlawful possession of a weapon. Photos show him with cash, a gun, and tattoos, including one taken in a sports car while wearing a reflective vest.
• Alessandro Benedikt Parades-Worwa is charged with aggravated assault with a weapon and pointing a firearm at a person. Photos display various tattoos.
• Cristian Andres Andrade-Vargas faces charges related to larceny and dangerous drugs. A tattoo above his left eyebrow is visible in the images released.
• Norge Yunaifer Rosales-Ceballos was convicted of criminal flight to avoid prosecution and is charged with alien smuggling and resisting an officer. One photo highlights a neck tattoo behind his right ear.
• Felix Josue Rendon-Garcia faces charges for possession of drugs and dangerous substances. Images show a tattoo with a date below it.
• Darrin Moises Daza-Segura has been convicted of burglary and larceny. Photos show tattoos on his knuckles spelling “VIDA.”
• Ronny Javier Rodriguez-Tovar has multiple convictions, including hit-and-run, battery, possession of stolen property, DUI, and shoplifting. He also faces new charges for battery, resisting an officer, and assault. A photo shows a device inscribed with “T.D.A.” and “Venezuela.”
• Howard Emis Omana is facing charges for aggravated assault with a weapon. Social media posts show him posing with a gun and making gang-related gestures.
• Angel Ignacio Cardenas-Bravo is charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, child neglect with great bodily harm, resisting an officer with violence, domestic violence battery, and multiple weapons-related offenses.

While the Supreme Court ruling temporarily blocks their removal, the administration has signaled its intent to continue pursuing legal options to proceed with deportations.

Officials argue that allowing members of a designated terrorist organization to remain in the U.S. poses an unacceptable threat to public safety.

For those worried about the SCOTUS early Saturday morning ruling temporarily blocking President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act, don’t be.

He’s made it clear that a judge wasn’t elected to deal with deportations, he was.
