This article is very concerning regarding his older brother and that brothers gang affiliation in tren de aragua as well as his lengthy criminal history just in the last year he has been in this country..
Assaulting border patrol agents
Illegally entering US (this was not through a port of entry.. this was him and 4 others sneaking in and being observed on camera and then being approached by border patrol and then attempting to flee and resist arrest while throwing the agents radio and attempting to bite him.
He then cut off his monitor and fled.
Arrested in Athens for DUI.. going 80 in a 40, failing to stop, resisting arrest, driving w/out license
2 days later police called out because his girlfriend said he took her phone and slapped her..
Then a month later shoplifting
Then another shoplifting incident
Failure to appear
AND he's in a dangerous Venezuelan gang called tren de aragua (read the article and the arrest documents listed in it)
Seems there were PLENTY of opportunities to do something about Diego Ibarra.. possibly it would have raised alarm bells about the other 2 brothers.. What we initally heard about Diego's record is nothing compared to what they disclosed yesterday at his bond hearing.
Surely they didn't grant bond.
Oh and interesting tidbit in the court doc..
Diego was stopped because he was wearing an Adidas hat and officers were given a surveillance photo of the suspect in an Adidas hat. So we now learn that Jose was wearing an Adidas hat in the video that police have of him and the reason Diego was stopped the following morning is because he was wearing at hat that was identical to it.. so did Jose wear Diego's hat or do they have matching hats?
