Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers are reportedly looking for Air Jordan tattoos as potential identifiers of gang members. The family members of a migrant taken to a holding facility in Guantanamo Bay say that criteria was used to apprehend him even though he does not have any connection with gangs, expressing concern about his future and lack of communication with him.

Concretely, the family of Luis Alberto Castillo Rivera told Migrant Insider the 23-year-old man was taken to the Cuban enclave in early February. He had entered the country through a CBP One appointment, used during the Biden administration to handle lawful asylum requests, after leaving his native Venezuela years ago. He managed to get in on January 19, the day before President Donald Trump took office and promptly ended the program.
