Luis Alberto Castillo

civilian Venezuela

Luis Alberto Castillo is a Venezuelan man who entered the United States seeking a better life for his family. After arriving in the U.S., he was detained and sent to Guantanamo Bay under suspicions of being linked to the Tren de Aragua gang, a claim his family vehemently denies. His sister Yajaira describes him as an ordinary person fleeing Venezuela's economic crisis, voicing concerns over discrimination based on his appearance and tattoos. As of February 2023, Castillo remains in detention, facing deportation despite a lack of concrete evidence linking him to criminal activity.
