Venezuelan government uses Tren de Aragua as proxies to undermine US public safety

I figured this warranted a thread of its own.

This is some scary stuff and is very much in line with Trump’s use of the AEA. Is it any wonder these gang members are being sent to CECOT instead of back to their own country.

But, but they haven’t been convicted of any crime. They need their due process.

The FBI assesses that in the next six to 18 months, Venezuelan government officials likely will attempt to leverage Tren de Aragua members in the United States as proxy actors to threaten, abduct and kill members of the Venezuelan diaspora in the United States who are vocal critics of Maduro and his regime.

The only good terrorist is a dead terrorist.

:rofl:

Why?

“Will likely!”

Why does this not surprise me.

In your twisted view of the world, US law enforcement are the ones who are scary.

We want them locked up! Go find a scary thing!

After they have already killed.

You betcha!

You ever seen a real live Venezuelan?

Why do always have to pivot to the irrelevant? We are talking about gang members, not ordinary Venezuelan citizens who are in this country legally.

So no, you haven’t.

You’re being had.

The FBI… the same bunch who predicted 9/11? The same bunch that infiltrated the peaceful protest on Jan 6th and turned it into a riot?
The same FBI investigated PTA parents?

That FBI?

Laugh out loud. Well struck.

Yep! We have nothing to fear from Tren de Aragua gang members in this country. It is our law enforcement officers we should be fearing.

FBI bad.

You’re statistically more likely to get beat down by a cop than some Latin American gang member.

In my neighborhood, the likelihood either will happen is slim to none.

What is your point? That we have nothing at all to fear from these gangs? Feel free to invite them to your neighborhood, if you feel they are harmless.

Never said that.

But why trade liberty for security?

We aren’t. The Venezuelan government is sending these gang members here with the intention of them doing harm. In response, Trump has invoked AEA targeting those terrorists.

But bleeding-heart LIBs are intent on letting those terrorists stay here and wreck their havoc. It is unconscionable.

Be honest. No one is arguing killers shouldn’t be locked up.

So, we know with certainty why these gang members are here. But LIBs believe we have to first let them wreck their havoc. Then and only then can we step in. It’s all about due process.

Hamas is a terrorist organization. Do you doubt for one minute, a Hamas terrorist in this country would be left alone until he sets off a bomb?

Tren de Aragua has been declared a terrorist organization, as such they will be rounded up and removed to a place where they can’t return.

LIBs really have no say.

Thank God we finally have a president who gets it.

That’s how the Patriot Act was justified. Because of 9/11. And look how that turned out.
