A two-year-old was entered into the foster care system in the U.S. after her Venezuelan parents were deported to El Salvador and Venezuela. The Department of Homeland Security alleges they are Tren de Aragua members.

Yorely Bernal Inciarte and Maiker Espinoza Escalona arrived in the U.S. on May 14 last year with their child Maikelys Antonella Espinoza Bernal. Neither held valid entry documents so they immediately surrendered to immigration authorities, according to ABC News.
