Luis Alberto Castillo, a Venezuelan father, entered the U.S. the day before Trump’s second term. Shortly after, he was sent to Guantanamo Bay, branded by DHS as part of a dangerous gang. His sister, Yajaira Castillo, vehemently defended him as an ordinary citizen fleeing economic turmoil, asserting that the government's actions stemmed from xenophobia and discrimination against Venezuelans. She expressed deep sorrow regarding her brother's unjust circumstances, highlighting a broader issue of mischaracterization of migrants.
Yajaira Castillo, brother of Luis Alberto Castillo, states, 'My brother is not a criminal. This is all discrimination and xenophobia, just because he's Venezuelan.'
The Department of Homeland Security categorized individuals transferred to Guantanamo Bay as 'the worst of the worst,' highlighting a severe stance against undocumented migrants.
