Mr. Ríos's wife says that her husband has no criminal record nor any ties to Tren de Aragua. She believes he was falsely labeled a gang member by ICE because he has a tattoo of a rose on his neck -- a symbol ICE claims is linked to the gang.

Experts say TdA doesn't even use tattoos as identifiers.
González told El Faro that her husband also has no criminal record, but she believes he was targeted by authorities because of a rose tattoo on his neck. U.S. authorities have used tattoos as evidence of gang membership. But experts such as journalist Ronna Rísquez, author of a book on the Tren de Aragua, maintain that these gang members do not have identifying tattoos, unlike Central American gangs.

Despite sending her Venezuelan husband to rot in a prison in El Salvador, the U.S. government has never once told Ms. González what they did with her husband -- even though they knew she was married to him.

"I am an American. I have the right to be told where my husband is."
She confirmed he was in El Salvador only upon reading his name on the list published by CBS. “I’m an American. I have the right to be told where my husband is,” says González. “How can they have a citizen, who has done things the right way here in the U.S., suffering for the man she fell in love with?” “I say to my government: Okay, deport them, but to their country. This is a monstrous thing, a thing of the devil. I have nightmares. Sometimes I think he’s dead,” she added.
