VENEZUELAN GANG’S Chaos: US Communities Under Threat

17 October 2024 — In New York City, kids as young as 11 are reportedly involved in violent robberies linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua (TdA). Surveillance footage from Aurora, Colorado shows a brutal attack on a worker by men refusing to accept a bribe. In Texas, two foreign nationals were arrested for allegedly planning to transport firearms for criminal use.

These incidents highlight the growing influence of TdA across the United States. The gang has gained notoriety through violent crimes that have alarmed law enforcement and policymakers. Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas has been vocal about the threat posed by TdA, especially in border communities unprepared for such brutality.

Gonzales and other GOP lawmakers have urged President Biden to designate TdA as a Transnational Criminal Organization. They warn that if unchecked, the gang could unleash terror similar to its impact in Central and South America. The gang’s activities include drug trafficking and human trafficking, leaving devastation across multiple countries.

Authorities caution that Tren De Aragua’s criminal operations pose an increasing danger to American communities nationwide. With its roots in Venezuela’s prisons, this “thug-for-hire” organization is spreading chaos from major cities like New York City down to small towns along border states like Texas.

HEARTBREAKING Gang Attack in Haiti Claims Lives of AMERICAN Missionaries

24 May 2024 — Two American Christian missionaries, Davy and Natalie Lloyd, were killed by gang violence in Haiti on Thursday. Missouri State Rep. Ben Baker confirmed the tragic news, revealing that his daughter Natalie was among the victims. “My heart is broken in a thousand pieces,” Baker wrote on Facebook.

The couple had been serving with Missions In Haiti, Inc., a nonprofit founded by Davy’s parents, David and Alicia Lloyd. The organization has been active in Haiti since 2000. Davy and Natalie joined the mission after their marriage in June 2022.

According to Missions In Haiti, the attack occurred during a youth group gathering at church. The gang ambushed them with three trucks full of men. “Davy was taken to the house tied up and beat,” stated the nonprofit.

Rep. Baker urged for prayers for both his family and the Lloyd family during this devastating time. He expressed an overwhelming sense of loss and pain over social media, asking for strength from their community of supporters.

US Marines SPRING Into Action: SECURING Haiti Amid Rampant Gang Violence

09 March 2024 — The US State Department has called upon a Marine security team to restore order in Haiti, according to Fox News Digital. This decision stems from the country’s escalating gang violence leading to widespread instability.

A representative from the State Department stressed that ensuring the safety of American citizens abroad is their topmost concern. Despite operating with a reduced staff, the US Embassy in Port-au-Prince remains operational and prepared to aid American citizens as required.

Earlier confusion regarding the mission’s status and personnel involved has been clarified. An antiterrorism security team is confirmed for deployment this week, while the Pentagon continues evaluating its options in response to this unpredictable situation.

ROCHDALE NIGHTMARE: Grooming Gang Members Slammed with Stiff Prison Sentences

03 November 2023 — Five men, Mohammed Ghani, Jahn Shahid Ghani, Insar Hussain, Ali Razza Hussain Kasmi, and Martin Rhodes have been handed prison sentences ranging from eight to 20 years. Earlier this year, they were found guilty of committing sexual crimes against two underage girls. These heinous acts occurred in a Rochdale apartment infamously known as the “butcher’s flat” from 2002 to 2006.

The young victims were systematically plied with alcohol and drugs before being sexually exploited by the men. Mohammed Ghani was the first to entrap one of the girls into their sinister circle. In a chilling turn of events, one victim was not only repeatedly raped but also filmed while unconscious due to heavy drinking.

The disturbing footage was then callously circulated around Rochdale. The veil was lifted on this abuse in 2015 when one brave victim shared her traumatic experience during a parenting course. Her harrowing account detailed six years of daily abuse that included blackmail using explicit videos and physical violence if she dared resist.

BIDEN Administration’s SHOCKING U-Turn: Venezuelan Deportations to Resume Amid Rising Migrant Numbers

06 October 2023 — The Biden administration has recently declared its intention to recommence the deportation of Venezuelan migrants. These individuals represent the largest single group encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border last month. The decision comes as their numbers continue to swell.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has referred to this new measure as one of the “strict consequences” being enforced in conjunction with expanding legal avenues for asylum seekers.

Speaking in Mexico City, Mayorkas mentioned that both nations are grappling with an unparalleled level of migration throughout their hemisphere. Two U.S. officials, who wished to remain anonymous, have confirmed that repatriation flights are slated to commence soon.

This action follows a recent surge in protected status for thousands of Venezuelans who arrived in the U.S before July 31 this year. However, addressing this discrepancy between expanding protections and resuming deportations, Mayorkas clarified that it is considered safe to return Venezuelan nationals who arrived after July 31 and lack a legal basis for staying here.
