Detained Venezuelan Artist Returns Home After Migrant Exchange | JQJO

Venezuelan makeup artist Andry Hernández Romero, deported to El Salvador under the Trump administration, has been returned to Venezuela as part of a three-nation migrant exchange. Rep. Robert Garcia confirmed Romero's release from the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador. Romero, a gay man, had sought asylum in the U.S. but was detained due to tattoos misinterpreted as gang identifiers. His lawyer clarified the tattoos' significance, unrelated to gang affiliation. The exchange marks a significant development in the ongoing migrant crisis.
