Donald Trump’s mission to rid the United States of foreign criminal elements has seen former NBA superstar Michael Jordan strangely dragged into an unwanted spot.
Since returning to office, the President has gone on a deportation rampage, seeing numerous residents off to their countries of origin.
As such, a Venezuelan gang referred to as Tren de Aragua (TdA) has been listed as an “alien enemy” by the Trump Administration, with 20 categories being placed on a checklist to help immigration officials determine whether nationals of the South American country belong to the group.
Various tattoos, including AK-47s and the “Real Hasta La Muerte” quote, have been identified as some of those worn by TdA members. Quite surprisingly, Jordan’s Jumpman logo has also been added to the “Alien Enemy Validation Guide” where it pertains to said gang.
Michael Jordan’s Jumpman Logo Is Not The Only Perceived “Identifier”
The logo is not the only thing under scrutiny. Chicago Bulls jerseys, specifically Jordan’s No. 23, as well as Jordan and Jumpman sneakers, have also been deemed as identifiers of TdA gang members.

The Jordan Brand is part of Nike’s footwear and clothing lineup and has been the most profitable for the company since it inked a deal with the six-time NBA champion nearly 40 years ago, so they probably aren’t happy about the logo appearing on such a list.
The company had not replied to a request for comment from the Daily Mail at the time of writing.
