AI Overview

Mervin Yamarte, a 29-year-old Venezuelan, was reportedly deported from the US to El Salvador, despite the fact that he was not a gang member, according to his family. Yamarte's family, who said he was living in Dallas and working there, expressed their shock and distress after seeing him in a video released by El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, showing him shackled and shaved in preparation for imprisonment at the Terrorism Confinement Center. The Trump administration deported Yamarte and other Venezuelans to El Salvador, claiming they were members of the Tren de Aragua gang, invoking the Alien Enemies Act. The families of the deported Venezuelans dispute these claims, saying they are innocent and have no criminal records.
