🧵The narrative that DHS is deporting American children is FALSE and irresponsible reporting.
The claim that U.S. citizen children are being deported is FALSE.
Denisse Parra-Vargas failed to appear before her immigration judge and was issued a final order of removal in 2019. In this case, when Parra was taken into ICE custody she chose to bring her children with her to Mexico.
The father, Omar Gallardo-Rodriguez is a serial lawbreaker whose rap sheet includes assault of a family member and three DUIs. Gallardo-Rodriguez illegally entered the U.S. FOUR times.
Rather than separate their families, ICE asked the mother if she wanted to be removed with their children or if they wanted ICE to place the children with someone safe the parent designates.
Today, as a bus of detainees was entering the security gate of Delaney Hall Detention Center, a group of protestors, including two members of US Congress, stormed the gate and broke into the detention facility. The allegations by Newark politicians that Delaney does not have the proper permitting is false.
Meet who the New Jersey lawmakers are fighting for:
CHINCHILLA CABALLERO is in ICE custody pending removal proceedings. CABALLERO is a positive match to numerous TECS lookouts and is a known active member of MS13.
RAMOS MARIN is wanted in Brazil for Homicide and has an INTERPOL Red Notice.
On April 29, 2025, ERO Newark with the assistance of HSI SAC Newark and CBP Newark arrested RAMOS MARIN. He is in ICE custody without bond.

In 2022, Abrego Garcia was stopped by the Tennessee Highway Patrol for speeding. Upon questioning, Garcia produced a "Limited Term Temporary” license, showing that Garcia was NOT a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
Upon further inspection, the officer observed eight other individuals crammed into the vehicle. Garcia stated he was on a three day trip from Houston, TX to Temple Hills, MD, a journey of over 1,400 miles by car. Despite the high occupancy, and lengthy trip, there was no luggage in the vehicle leading the officer to suspect this was a human trafficking incident.
All the passengers gave the exact same home address as Garcia. When asked what relationship Garcia had with the registered owner of the vehicle, he replied that the owner of the vehicle was his boss, and that he “worked in construction.”
