The Trump administration responded to the Supreme Court’s decision to temporarily block the deportation of illegal immigrant gang members by releasing the criminal records of several individuals alleged to be members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA).
The gang members in question are being held at the Bluebonnet Detention Center in Texas and had been slated for removal from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The administration has argued that the law, which grants the president authority to deport nationals of hostile foreign nations, should be applied to gang members after President Donald Trump classified them as foreign terrorist organizations to expedite their deportation process.
However, the Supreme Court issued a ruling preventing the administration from using the 18th-century statute to carry out the deportations.
In response, the White House released detailed information about several individuals it claims are TdA members to highlight their violent criminal records.
Among them is Henry Jose Romero-Gonzales. The administration released images of Romero-Gonzales posing with firearms and stacks of cash. Officials told Fox News he faces pending charges for assault, crimes against a person, and unlawful possession of a weapon.
Ronny Javier Rodriguez-Tovar is another individual identified by the administration. He has been convicted of multiple crimes, including hit-and-run, battery, possession of stolen property, DUI, and shoplifting. He also faces new charges for resisting an officer, simple assault, battery, and another DUI offense.
Alessandro Benedikt Parades-Worwa has been charged with aggravated assault with a weapon and for pointing and presenting firearms at another person.
Another man, Angel Ignacio Cardenas-Bravo, has an extensive criminal history. According to the Trump administration, his charges include aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, child neglect with great bodily harm, resisting an officer with violence, domestic violence battery, carrying a concealed firearm, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Due to the Supreme Court’s ruling, the administration cannot remove the Venezuelan nationals “until further order of this court.”
