Merwil Gutiérrez, a 19-year-old Venezuelan asylum seeker living in the Bronx, was detained by ICE agents on February 24 along with 237 other Venezuelans despite his family's assertion he has no criminal record or gang ties in Venezuela or the US. His father, Wilmer Gutiérrez, said he overheard agents at the scene say 'No, he's not the one' before another agent said 'Take him anyway.' Gutiérrez was later deported under the Alien Enemies Act to the notorious Cecot prison in El Salvador, a country he has no ties to, and his family says they have received no official information about his case.
