Joe Rogan unexpectedly defends deported gay makeup artist

Joe Logan, the host of the controversial right-wing podcast, comes to the defense of a gay makeup artist with no criminal history who was deported under US government crackdown on Venezuelan gang members.

Last month, the Trump administration made headlines after President Donald Trump called for the alien enemy laws of 1798 and was deported without legal proceedings.

The order has detained more than 200 migrants from South American countries and loaded them into El Salvador on three planes.

The family, friends and legal representatives of men who were in the United States with legal permission are waiting for a hearing on their asylum case, but they are not members of the gang and allegedly swept unfairly by deportation.

One such deportee is Andry Jose Hernandez Romero, a 31-year-old Venezuelan asylum seeker who was detained at the Mexico-US border last year despite coming to the United States to attend a pre-located asylum appointment in San Diego.

He told agents he was fleeing persecution because of his sexual orientation and political views.

However, the agent saw the tattoo he had on his wrist, related to the three Kings Day celebrations of his hometown Capacho, which he had been involved in for many years.

The tattoo is said to be evidence of his involvement in Tren de Aragua, resulting in him competing in a flight of Deporty and sent to Tecolca’s maximum security de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT).

In his recent episode of Logan, who was supporting him before the 2024 presidential election despite being a Trump supporter – Joe Rogan’s experience He called for deportation, particularly mentioning the Hernandez case.

Logan I said When innocent people are deported without evidence of a crime, it is “terrifying” and “bad for the cause.”

“The cause is, let’s put out gang members. Everyone agrees, but don’t take innocent gay hairdressers who have been grouped together with gangs,” he said.

“And how long can you understand how long the guy can get them out when he can go out? Are there any plans to warn the authorities that they made a terrible mistake and fixed it?”

I’ll talk GuardianHernandez’s mother, Alexis Dolores Romero de Hernandez, claimed that her son was not involved in criminal activity.

“Let my son go. Check his case files. He’s not a gang member,” she said.

“Everyone has these crowns. A lot of people. But that doesn’t mean they’re involved in Tren de Lagua… he’s never had any problems with the law.”

“We don’t know anything. They don’t say anything. They don’t give you information. It’s traumatized – these young men, especially mine, don’t know anything,” she adds, saying she hadn’t heard from her son since the evening before he was deported.
