An accused Venezuelan gangbanger was allowed into the US by the Biden administration, which also handed him a work permit — as he was on the run over alleged ties to four murder-for-hire killings back home, The Post can exclusively reveal.
Anthony Fabian Marin La Torre, 42, was nabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Dallas suburb of Grapevine, Texas, May 2 after the feds received word that he was wanted by Interpol for four contract murders, a fatal shooting and for being a lieutenant of the “El Chamu” gang, ICE told The Post.

A month after La Torre crossed the border, he appeared at the ICE office in Dallas for a required check-in and was given a notice to appear in immigration court on July 23, 2025.
The Venezuelan citizen applied for a federal work permit, which was issued in June 2023.

It is likely Border Patrol agents didn’t learn of Marin La Torre’s criminal history when he crossed into the US from Mexico because the Maduro regime wasn’t disclosing its citizens’ records to the Biden administration at the time.

After President Trump returned to office, the Venezuelan regime reopened law enforcement communication channels and began accepting deportation flights from the US.
Marin La Torre is being held at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas.
