An illegal migrant gangbanger wanted for human trafficking became the first to be targeted for detention by the newly-invoked 18th-century Alien Enemies Act — which President Trump is using to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members without a hearing.
Homeland Security agents alongside Florida cops successfully collared “known Tren de Aragua gang member” Franklin Jose Jimenez-Bracho by “steering” him straight into a group of cops with handcuffs at the ready, authorities announced Friday.
Bracho is wanted for human trafficking, smuggling and is also the subject of a pending investigation.
“Once again, Florida leads the way,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wrote on X of the arrest.
The Trump administration already deported roughly 250 alleged migrant gangbangers to El Salvador’s brutal mega prison Saturday in defiance of US District Judge James Boasberg’s order to turn the planes around.
