“They grab us in the morning, around four in the morning, and took us to a truck. They tried to put us on a plane,” he said from the Bluebonnet Detention Center of Immigration and Customs in Anson, Texas.

In a statement to ABC News, the White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, criticized the order of the Supreme Court that blocked deportations in the Northern District and said the White House trusts that the actions of the administration are legal.

“President Trump promised the American people to use all legal measures to eliminate the threat of terrorist illegal foreigners, such as members of the United States. We trust the legality of the actions of the administration and ultimately prevailing against an insle.

Paredes said that ABC News and others were “forced to sign a role” saying they are part of a gang. On Friday, the ACLU presented a document that says that its clients in Bluebonnet received from immigration officials. The document, entitled “Notice and order of apprehension and elimination under the Law of Alien Enemies,” he says, “has decided to be … a member of the Aragua train.”

“We have been forced to sign a document here, basically saying that we are part of a gang, that we are part of it and are forcing us to sign it,” said Paredes.

Stephen Miller, the Trump National Security Advisor, responded to an X post for a Fox News reporter that includes a list allegedly provided by a DHS official of “alleged Venezuelan TDA gang members” arrested in Texas that Trump’s administration “was planning to deport before Scotus entered.”

The list included the name and photo of Paredes and says that he is a confirmed ADD member and says he faces criminal charges for “aggravated assault with a weapon, aiming and presenting a person’s firearms.” The publication also includes photos of the tattoos of a cross and a wall clock.

“This is whom the Democrats fight to keep in their neighborhood,” Miller said in response to the publication of social networks on the list.

A review of the judicial records found a position against Paredes in South Carolina for “pointing out and submitting firearms to a person” in February. The case is still ongoing and Paredes is scheduled to have its second appearance in court in August.

According to WCIV, an ABC News affiliate, Paredes delivered to the position of Armas and was hired at the Cannon detention Center in Charleston County, South Carolina, in February. The ice stop locator confirms that Paredes is currently at the Bluebonnet detention center.

The mother of Paredes told ABC News in a statement through her lawyer who denies the accusation that her son is a member of TDA.

“My son is only 19 years old,” said the mother, who did not want to be named. “He was a good student, a talented soccer player and a loving son. He is a devout Catholic. He wears his faith in his body and in his heart, he even had a great cross tattooed in his body to mark his commitment to for life with God.”

“He is not a terrorist,” he said, adding that he wants his son to be sent to Venezuela.

“Please do not send it to El Salvador, a country that you have never known, where it faces serious danger and has no support,” he added.

Earlier this month, Scotus lifted a court order that prohibited deportations under the AEA and ruled that any person who sought to deport under proclamation must receive due process. The ACLU argued on Friday that Venezuelan migrants who are detained in a Texas detention center run the risk of deportation and have not had an adequate or sufficient warning notice to challenge their moves, violating the court requirement that men have “reasonable time” to practice their due process. They are not from El Salvador.

“We are very scared [that] Everyone here will be deported to El Salvador, “said Paredes.” Because, first, we are not from there. Most people here have no criminal record. Not even a ticket, nothing. “

“There are minors,” Paredes added. “We even have disabled people here by my side.”

Paredes said they did not give him any information on Friday and that he has not yet received responses from the officers at the detention center.

“They simply tell us that they know nothing and that they don’t give us any information,” said Paredes.

“We just want justice, we are human, we have human rights,” added Paredes. “We just want to return to our country.”
