Wild, who is 28 years old, migrated to Santa Marta, Colombia, in 2017 due to the critical food situation in Venezuela. He wanted to help his mother in the midst of this crisis. Subsequently, he moved to Bogota, where he worked in recycling with his wife. Faced with the need to improve their situation, they decided to embark on a journey to the United States, taking his wife’s youngest daughter with them. Wild is a tattoo artist.

The journey through the Darien took approximately four months, after which they arrived in Mexico. In Mexico, Wild managed to establish a small barber shop business, taking advantage of his skills as a barber and tattoo artist. In December 2024, he received notification of an appointment for CBP1 processing; the call to his sister was made on December 25, instructing him to raise $1,500 for the tickets to take them to Texas. After raising the necessary funds, Wild purchased the tickets and the trip to Texas took place on December 28, 2024.

Upon arrival, they stayed at the home of a benefactor who provided them with temporary support until January 2, when they were to report to the immigration authorities. The following day, his wife and youngest daughter were released, but Wild was detained on the allegation that his tattoos were related to his alleged membership in the Tren de Aragua.

Wild was arrested during his CBP1 appointment on January 2, 2025. He was taken to Valle City Facility. His wife visited him only once; the second time she came, they did not allow her to visit him. Wild was screened and passed a credible fear interview and had hearing dates that have been postponed, the most recent hearing is scheduled for May 13, 2025.

On March 2, 2025, Wild was serving two months in detention in Texas. He was subsequently transferred to a detention center in Villa City, a high-security prison, where his wife was only able to visit him once. During the visit, she noticed that Wild had lost a lot of weight and was having difficulty eating.

On March 14, 2025, Wild’s wife contacted his sister in a state of distress, informing her that he was being deported. On two occasions during that same day, Wild spoke to his wife. In these conversations, he mentioned to her that his clothes had been returned to him, as well as his tattoo and shaving machine, along with documents indicating that he would be deported to Venezuela. A wife of another detainee also contacted her to inform her that her husband had been put on a plane around 1:40 AM.

Wild was screened and passed a credible fear interview and was scheduled for a hearing related to his asylum process on March 4, 2025, which was later rescheduled for March 18, and then May 3. Even though he was deported, the system continues to reschedule the hearings. The cause of his detention was attributed to his suspected membership in criminal groups, specifically Tren de Aragua, due to his tattoos, although his tattoos were due to the fact that he is a tattoo artist and has been tattooing himself for a long time.

The Sunday after his arrest, his wife and family had no news about Wild. On Tuesday, she began to see posts on social media and questions arose about the possibility that he had been deported to El Salvador. That week, on Tuesday or Wednesday, they spotted Wild’s name on a publicly circulated list, confirming their fears about deportation.

They have not heard from Wild since.

Del The Disappeared:

Wild, de 28 años, emigró a Santa Marta, Colombia, en 2017 debido a la situación crítica de alimentos en Venezuela. Quería ayudar a su madre en medio de esta crisis. Posteriormente, se mudó a Bogotá, donde trabajó en reciclaje con su esposa. Ante la necesidad de mejorar su situación, decidieron emprender un viaje a Estados Unidos, llevando consigo a la hija menor de su esposa. Wild es un artista del tatuaje.

El viaje por el Darién duró aproximadamente cuatro meses, después de lo cual llegaron a México. En México, Wild logró establecer un pequeño negocio de barbería, aprovechando sus habilidades como barbero y artista del tatuaje. En diciembre de 2024, recibió una notificación de una cita para el procesamiento de CBP1; la llamada a su hermana se hizo el 25 de diciembre, indicándole que recaudara $1,500 para los boletos que los llevarían a Texas. Después de recaudar los fondos necesarios, Wild compró los boletos y el viaje a Texas tuvo lugar el 28 de diciembre de 2024.

Al llegar, se quedaron en la casa de un benefactor que les proporcionó apoyo temporal hasta el 2 de enero, cuando debían presentarse ante las autoridades de inmigración. Al día siguiente, su esposa y la hija menor fueron liberadas, pero Wild fue detenido bajo la acusación de que sus tatuajes estaban relacionados con su presunta membresía en el Tren de Aragua.

Wild fue arrestado durante su cita de CBP1 el 2 de enero de 2025. Fue llevado a la Instalación de la Ciudad de Valle. Su esposa lo visitó solo una vez; la segunda vez que vino, no le permitieron visitarlo. Wild fue evaluado y pasó una entrevista de miedo creíble y tenía fechas de audiencia que han sido pospuestas, la audiencia más reciente está programada para el 13 de mayo de 2025.

El 2 de marzo de 2025, Wild llevaba dos meses en detención en Texas. Posteriormente fue trasladado a un centro de detención en la Ciudad de Villa, una prisión de alta seguridad, donde su esposa solo pudo visitarlo una vez. Durante la visita, ella notó que Wild había perdido mucho peso y tenía dificultades para comer.

El 14 de marzo de 2025, la esposa de Wild contactó a su hermana angustiada, informándole que estaba siendo deportado. En dos ocasiones durante ese mismo día, Wild habló con su esposa. En esas conversaciones, él le mencionó que le habían devuelto su ropa, así como su máquina de afeitar y de tatuar, junto con documentos que indicaban que sería deportado a Venezuela. La esposa de otro detenido también se puso en contacto con ella para informarle que su esposo había sido subido a un avión alrededor de la 1:40 AM.

Wild fue evaluado y pasó una entrevista de miedo creíble y estaba programado para una audiencia relacionada con su proceso de asilo el 4 de marzo de 2025, que luego fue reprogramada para el 18 de marzo, y luego para el 3 de mayo. A pesar de ser deportado, el sistema continúa reprogramando las audiencias. La causa de su detención se atribuyó a su presunta membresía en grupos criminales, específicamente el Tren de Aragua, debido a sus tatuajes, aunque sus tatuajes se debían al hecho de que es un artista del tatuaje y se ha estado tatuando a sí mismo durante mucho tiempo.

El domingo después de su arresto, su esposa y familia no tuvieron noticias de Wild. El martes, comenzaron a ver publicaciones en redes sociales y surgieron preguntas sobre la posibilidad de que hubiera sido deportado a El Salvador. Esa semana, el martes o miércoles, vieron el nombre de Wild en una lista de circulación pública, confirmando sus temores sobre la deportación.

No han tenido noticias de Wild desde entonces.
