Escalona

Escalona, a Venezuelan national and former police officer, is currently detained at the Bluebonnet immigrant detention center in Texas. He was classified by the Department of Homeland Security as a self-admitted member of the Tren de Aragua gang, a claim he denies, asserting that he has no ties to any gang. Escalona is facing potential deportation under the Alien Enemies Act and has expressed a strong desire to return to Venezuela, fearing for his life in the U.S.
