Venezuelan families are afraid of relatives, as Trump celebrates the deportation to El Salvador

According to Mrs. Casique, her son had no affiliation with gangs and the United States entered to search for asylum in late 2023 after spent several years working in Peru to support his family at home. She said during his journey north, he was injured in Mexico after a train.

Mrs. Casic said that Mr. Garcia, who handed himself himself to the authorities on the American border, was detained in a routine appearance in front of immigration officers last year after they monitored his tattoo.

The tattoo, which says it includes a crown with the word “peace” in the Spanish language and the names of his mother, Jeddah and his sisters, led to the position of Mr. Garcia under investigation and described as a suspect in Treen de Arajoa, according to Mrs. Cassoyeck.

His mother said that Mr. Garcia remained in a two -month detention center, but a judge decided in the end that he had not pose a danger and allowed him to release him as long as he was wearing an electronic device to track his movements.

The New York Times could not independently verify why he was detained and released.

After the inauguration of Mr. Trump this year, Mr. Garcia became anxious, but Mrs. Casic remembered her son’s telling that he had nothing to fear: the administration said that she would follow criminals first.

However, on February 6, the authorities arrived at the door of Mr. Garcia and took him to the reservation.

“I told him to follow the country’s bases, that he was not a criminal, and that they were mostly, they would transfer him.” “But I was very naive – I thought the laws would protect it.”
