I’m sorry, but this is kind of hard to follow.

So, he was a Venezuelan soccer player, participated in demonstrations, fled due to persecution, and legally entered the U.S. after waiting for and attending his scheduled CBP One appointment. Meaning, he was processed and let through the border.

If he was legally processed, all his documents were fine, and he was granted asylum, how did he end up in detention for six months? That means he was detained long before Trump took office, so this can’t be blamed on his administration. Even the “criminalization of tattoos” argument wouldn’t have been a factor back then.

Was he randomly arrested because of his tattoos? If so, why was he detained for so long without a conviction or proper legal review? Or was this something that happened during his asylum process?

Because if everything was done legally, at what point did the system decide to throw him into detention and deport him?

Something doesn’t add up here. Can someone explain this to me?
