Lawyer, Laurel Scott had this interpretation:

One of the signed Executive Orders is "Enforcing Federal Law with Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations and Preventing International Trafficking". Upon reading it, I expressed concern that Section 3f of the EO implied that the government would expand its use of INA 212(a)(3)(A)(ii), a controversial section of law that the government had been using to keep out alleged gang members based on very little evidence, such as a suspicious tattoo. Attorneys have already over the past several years charged that the way the section of law was being interpreted had too much potential for "false positives" - someone believed to be in a gang who actually wasn't - and indeed false positives were already happening. Sadly, the article below suggests that my suspicions were correct.

I don't know if he is or isn't in a gang, but it's clear the government doesn't need a lot of evidence to take away immigration benefits based on the EO.
