About Those Tren de Aragua Gang Members in Colorado...
https://pjmedia.com ^ | January 27, 2025 | Sarah Anderson

Remember back in the fall when ABC did its best to make Donald Trump and JD Vance out to be liars when they said the Venezuelan gang members were causing problems in Colorado? It started during the presidential debate and continued on ABC's "This Week" when Martha Raddatz tried to school Vance on the topic, leading to his viral, "Martha, do you hear yourself?" moment.

Well, it's looking more and more like ABC was wrong and the president and vice president were right. (Shocking, I know.)

On Sunday, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Rocky Mountain Field Division, along with help from Denver offices for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) busted up an "invite-only" makeshift nightclub and arrested dozens of members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. The Denver Gazette reports that there were 49 people inside, and 41 of them were found to be in the United States illegally.

"We have been investigating them for several months," DEA Rocky Mountain Field Division Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Pullen told the Gazette. "This morning, we executed a federal search warrant on this call." The "nightclub" was located in a vacant property in Adams County, which is a suburb of Denver and home to parts of the city of Aurora. The raid took place just after 5 a.m. The organizers of the party going on inside had allegedly been advertising on social media.

The so-called “news” media peddles disinformation day in and day out on behalf of the Democrat Party.

“advertising on social media”

“Yes of course I am illegally in the country and wanted by the police for crimes, but they wouldn’t arrest little me! I’ll just throw a big party, put invites on the internet and all is good!”

And they have been doing this for decades. It’s not a recent phenomenon.

Not to throw cold water on this, but this is exactly what worries me. It took two or three dozen agents from DHS, DEA, ICE and BATF MONTHS to investigate, then raid a club and arrest only 41 illegals.

This is like using a $10 million missile to take down a $10,000 drone.

We will never win this war with resource expenditures and time sucks like this raid. These organizations need to have the steely Trump Can-Do, Let's Git 'Er Done, Take No Prisoners attitude.

It sounds to me that DHS, DEA, ICE and BATF are doing everything by the book, slowly building an ironclad legal case and are afraid of the enemy lawyers. That will never rid the nation of this pestilence. Where is Eliot Ness when you need him?

I have no problem at all with rounding up anyone suspected of being in the country illegally but just out of curiosity:

How do they determine who is actually here illegally and do it quickly and with certainty? It might be obvious to some but not to me.

Raddatz literally cried on Election Night in 2016 when it became clear Hillary Clinton was going to lose.

they dont have to get every last one, although it would be nice- but getting a majority out will greatly reduce what the US spends on illegals every year- which is north of $1 Trillion dollars when everything is added up-

Possibly everyone who is here legally has fingerprints on file. They can run fingerprints through a phone app these days.

The lying media is the reason Dems are in shock over losing.
How does a president win reelection with a 36% approval rate?

JD should have said, “If you lived in one of those complexes you would think differently.”

I wouldn’t be too worried.

It only took that long because the leadership at those agencies would punish anyone who conducted a raid.

The Biden Administration wanted them here to cause chaos.

The Trump Administration wants them gone. This is good.

Maybe but certainly not all of them. I don’t expect all of them to be found but a lot would be fine.
