Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itCollins cites a specific case — a Venezuelan cartel member who killed a 22-year-old nursing student — to justify ICE's role; the details of this case and ICE's involvement are verifiable
What we foundThe core facts are real — a Venezuelan man (Jose Ibarra) killed 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley and has been linked to Tren de Aragua, and ICE does deport violent criminals — but the claim overstates by calling Tren de Aragua a 'Venezuelan cartel'; it is widely identified as a Venezuelan prison gang or criminal organization, not a cartel, and Jose Ibarra's own TdA membership was reported by DHS sources but not conclusively established in his own criminal proceedings.
