Exclusive | Alleged gangbanger deported to El Salvador by Trump was allowed into US using CBP One app under Biden — despite already being deported

An alleged gangbanger deported by the Trump administration to El Salvador’s hellhole megaprison was previously booted from the US before the Biden regime ultimately let him in using the CBP One phone application, sources told The Post.

Venezuelan migrant Andry Hernandez Romero, 31, was hauled off to El Salvador in March with a group of 260 other reputed gangbangers after President Trump invoked the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act to deport them without a hearing.

He first made his way into the US by crossing the southern border into Texas in July 2024, but was quickly expelled before he showed up again the next month, according to sources.

By August that year, Romero found his way to California, where he entered the US using the since-shuttered CBP One phone application program.

The Trump administration shut down the CBP One entry function for migrants on Inauguration Day and later created the CBP Home app to give illegal migrants the option to self-deport from the US.

The Venezuelan citizen fled his home country after he was targeted for being gay and having certain political views, his attorneys said. He worked in Venezuela at the state-run TV station as a makeup artist for on-air talent, according to CBS News.

“And the government had found that his threats against him were credible and that he had a real probability of winning an asylum claim,” Lindsay Toczylowski, Hernandez Romero’s lawyer, said.

A photographer who captured the moment Hernandez Romero was escorted into the megaprison in El Salvador reported hearing the migrant cry out, “I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a stylist” as he was slapped and had his head shaved, according to CBS News.

“It’s horrifying to see someone who we’ve met and know as a sweet, funny artist in the most horrible conditions I could imagine,” Toczylowski said. 

Immigration agents tagged Hernandez Romero as an alleged Tren de Aragua gangbanger based on his two crown tattoos.

But Toczylowski claimed that the tattoos honored his parents.

“These are tattoos that not only have a plausible explanation because he is someone who worked in the beauty pageant industry, but also the crowns themself were on top of the names of his parents,” Toczylowski said.

“The most plausible explanation for that is that his mom and dad are his king and queen.”

However, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin claimed that the agency’s “intelligence assessments go well beyond just gang affiliate tattoos.”

“This man’s own social media indicates he is a member of Tren de Aragua.

Alleged MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia was also shipped off to the South American country with Hernandez Romero.

Several federal courts, including the Supreme Court, determined that the Trump administration deported Abrego Garcia as a result of a “clerical error” and ordered the White House to return him to the US.

But the Trump administration has thus far refused to bring Abrego Garcia — who has been tagged as an alleged human trafficker, wife beater and gangbanger — back.
