Chicago Bulls Jerseys And Jordan Brand Tattoos Linked To Members Of A Venezuelan Gang In New Documents

It turns out, some new documents by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security suggest a connection between Chicago Bulls jerseys and Jordan Brand tattoos or shoes to a Venezuelan gang named the Tren de Aragua gang. Yes, you heard that right, basketball and tattoos mixed with some serious gang stuff.

According to these documents, it seems like the gang members have an affiliation with the Chicago Bulls as they’re getting identified by Jordan Brand tattoos and shoes. And it’s got people talking. I mean, who would have thought that sports apparel and tattoos could be linked to something as intense as a gang?

In recent legal proceedings, the ACLU presented documents that specify the identification of these individuals based on certain apparel and tattoos. According to the reports, particularly Chicago Bulls jerseys, Jordan Brand sneakers, and tattoos featuring the Jumpman logo.

A video emerged from El Salvador showing a deported person with such a tattoo, further highlighting this identification method.

The HS Investigations’ referenced document contains characteristics intended to assist law enforcement in identifying potential gang members. It indicates a preference among them for Chicago Bulls jerseys, especially those linked to Michael Jordan and specific Jordan shoes.

However, experts have raised some concerns regarding this methodology. Bill Hing, a law professor at the University of San Francisco, criticized the approach as erroneous.

According to him, possessing a Michael Jordan tattoo does not inherently signify gang affiliation. Additionally, comments from the U.S. Border Patrol suggest that while Bulls attire may be a part of Venezuelan culture, it is not a reliable indicator of gang membership.

While the investigations and findings still need some credible and validated data, identifying just with the Bulls and Jordan logos is tough. However, ever since the news went public, basketball fans are left in disbelief.

“I don’t even know how you react to this if you’re Jordan Brand/Nike. The broadness of this statement is ridiculous,” a fan commented.

So, next time you see someone rocking a Bulls jersey or showing off a Jordan Brand tattoo, you might want to think twice about approaching them. Who knows what kind of gang connections they might have? Despite the brouhaha, Nike and, Chicago Bulls have yet to respond to these wild gang affiliations.
