The FBI is now coming right out and alleging that Venezuela’s dictatorial regime is using Tren de Aragua (TdA) gangbangers to destabilize the US and other countries. It is a conclusion that is obvious to just about anyone familiar with national security, but has been poo-pooed by leftists. Shocker there.
A dictator goes to war with the US
Nicolás Maduro is a vicious Marxist dictator who absolutely hates the United States. When he opened the prisons in Venezuela and started sending gang members across our border, it was obvious that it was a form of unconventional warfare, and former President Biden either didn’t care or welcomed it. The murders, rapes, torture, sex trafficking, drug dealing, and other crimes were brushed off and the victims of TdA were unceremoniously ignored.
Fox News obtained “unclassified portions” of an FBI assessment, from a “senior” Trump administration official, that found that Maduro’s regime was using TdA gangbangers “as proxies for the Maduro regime in an effort to destabilize” a number of countries to undermine public safety. And it seemed to work very well until President Trump arrived on the scene.
From Fox News:
Fox News Digital has learned that the FBI assesses that some Venezuelan government officials are likely using Tren de Aragua members as proxies for the Maduro regime in an effort to destabilize Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, and the United States. The official said the FBI assesses that this demonstrates Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s willingness to violate the territorial sovereignty of Venezuela’s neighbors to advance his regime’s policies.
The news outlet went on to report that FBI officials have further assessed that within “six to 18 months,” Venezuela will attempt to “leverage” TdA gangbangers in the US. They will be utilized as “proxy actors to threaten, abduct, and kill members of the Venezuelan diaspora” who dare to criticize Maduro. It is expected that similar activities throughout South America will take place.
“These findings should shock Americans but not the law enforcement community,” a senior administration official told Fox News Digital in an interview. “They reflect the sentiments of numerous other intelligence assessments across multiple agencies.”
Bringing Venezuelan chaos to the US
“Nicholas Maduro is a Marxist dictator who hijacked a once-prosperous Venezuela and brought in nothing but total economic collapse and gang takeover,” the official told Fox News. “He crumbled Caracas, now overrun with drugs and violence, and wants to do the same across the United States by sending his most violent and dangerous criminals into our communities.”
Trump has branded TdA, MS-13, and a number of other gangs as foreign terrorist organizations. He’s also prepping to go after the cartels.
Activist judges attempt to assist violent gangbangers
All of this is playing out as activist judges do everything they can using lawfare to keep President Trump from deporting Venezuelan migrants, who are suspected of being gang members, using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.
The Wall Street Journal has reported that federal judges in both Colorado and New York have “questioned the legality of the administration’s use of wartime measures to speed deportations of suspected TdA gang members.” Really? The company they keep, the tattoos, and the murderous crime sprees don’t speak for themselves? These obstructionists have more empathy for gangbangers than they do for their victims and they are all leftists.
From the Wall Street Journal:
In one of those cases, US District Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney in Colorado expressed serious doubt Tuesday about the government’s claims that current events constitute “irregular warfare” in which gang members are immigrating to the US to commit murders, kidnappings, drug trafficking, and other offenses.
Sweeney all but said Trump’s invocation of wartime authority for the gang deportations was unlawful. To use the Alien Enemies Act, Trump would have to establish the US is in a state of war, the judge said.
Well… we are in a state of war.
Maduro loves TdA – Trump vows to crush them
Breitbart has been at the forefront of reporting on Maduro’s machinations. Back in March, reporter Christian K. Caruzo wrote that the dictator’s regime would “’not rest’ until it had rescued Venezuelan migrants who were deported from the US and ‘sent to jail in El Salvador.’”
“We will not rest until the Venezuelans who have been kidnapped and sent to jail in El Salvador, violated and subjected without due process or the right to defense, return to their homeland,” Maduro asserted.
That same month, Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act in an effort to ratchet up the removal of Venezuelan TdA gangbangers.
“The Trump administration will continue to use every authority in our power to make sure these TdA terrorists, who are some of the worst in the world, are kept out of our country,” the official vowed to Fox News. “The American people voted overwhelmingly to make America safe again, and that is exactly what we will do.”
Maduro is set to stay in office until 2031. He has eliminated political competition, and it’s a good bet that, if given the chance, he will remain in power indefinitely. The brutal dictator needs to go.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) told Fox News on Wednesday that Tren de Aragua leaders historically have been “located and broadly benefited from conditions in Venezuela created by the Venezuelan government.”
“The Venezuelan government gives sanctuary to TdA, aiding and abetting their crimes and terrorist activities against the United States by enabling them to thrive,” the ODNI stated.
More from Fox News:
The official said that, unlike most countries, the Maduro regime has “been eager to welcome violent TdA criminals back to Venezuela, providing further proof they see them as allies. Again, this mirrors the behavior of the Taliban in Afghanistan and other Middle Eastern failed states like Syria and Libya that have welcomed terrorists with open arms.”
The use of gangbangers is straight out of the asymmetrical warfare playbook via Google AI:
Asymmetric warfare is a type of conflict between opposing forces with significantly different military capabilities and strategies. It often involves weaker forces using unconventional tactics and weapons to exploit the strengths of their stronger opponents. These tactics can include guerrilla warfare, terrorist attacks, hit-and-run ambushes, snipings, and homemade bombs.
Tell Americans again how we are not at war. The president is resolute on stopping this as a matter of national security. The Left is determined to stop Trump from aiding in the downfall of the Republic.
