EXCLUSIVE: I've obtained the leaked security briefing that's been provided to Trump national security officials in recent months regarding the criminal group Tren de Aragua and the Venezuela government.
President Trump designated Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) on January 20th by Executive order because it's “conducting irregular warfare and undertaking hostile actions” inside the United States.
According to the order: “TdA operates in conjunction with Cártel de los Soles, the Nicolas Maduro regime-sponsored, narco-terrorism enterprise based in Venezuela, and commits brutal crimes, including murders, kidnappings, extortions, and human, drug, and weapons trafficking.”
It's not a street gang.
It's the paramilitary wing of Venezuela's narco-terrorist regime.
That's why President Trump ordered the deportation of TdA members using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The group are actually foreign soldiers operating in our country in secret.

According to President Trump’s Executive order: “Over the years, Venezuelan national and local authorities have ceded ever-greater control over their territories to transnational criminal organizations, including TdA. The result is a hybrid criminal state that is perpetrating an invasion of and predatory incursion into the United States, and which poses a substantial danger to the United States.”
America’s national security officials are being told, essentially, that Venezuela is at war with the United States — and that it’s time to understand the threat.

We shouldn’t have to do legal gymnastics to deport gangsters.
The answer is yes. Venezuela used its worse citizens to wage war on America.
I agree they invaded us, and they were aided by traitors within.
I’d clarify by saying “Venezuelan Marxists” sent their worst criminals to invade the US. And I’d bet with a nod & wink from the globalists behind the scenes.
One good bullet....
The invasion wasn’t the entry of thousands of gangsters, bad as that is, it was the entry of millions of illegals in four years added to the tens of millions that were already here. It is shocking that we have to fight tooth and nail against our own establishment to get them out.
The whole world is invading America, C’mon down!
don't know about anyone else,,, but it looked pretty darn overt and in broad daylight to me.
The secret isn’t that they’ve entered the country, the secret is (allegedly) that they are here on behalf of and to advance the interests of the Venezuelan government. Which if true makes them enemy combatants.
Yes.
And it works with FARC which is a known terror group.
I am sorry but people are only NOW realizing this?
What’s been secret is that it is the government of Venezuela that is training these invaders for war against us.
When we’ve deported them back to Venezuela the illegal Maduro regime gives them a warm hero’s welcome.
Have Congress declare it. Problem solved quickly.
At all.
From another thread:
...Cartel of the Suns
Since the mid-90s, the Cartel of the Suns has been operating a drug trade inside Venezuela. Despite its name, the ‘Cartel de los Soles’ is no cartel in the traditional sense. Vigil describes the organization as a “loose federation of government officials and military officers in Venezuela.”
According to Vigil, they evolved into a criminal organization that moves “tons of cocaine” to Europe and the United States through the Caribbean, Central America, and Mexico.
At first, Vigil explained, the Cartel of the Suns were content with just taking bribes from Colombian drug trafficking organizations and “subversive organizations” like the National Liberation Army (ELN) and the Armed Revolutionary Forces of Colombia (FARC).”...
Now do China.
That’s worth at least a couple of Tomahawks in the bedroom windows of those who planned it. There has to be a reckoning.
Have Congress declare it. Problem solved quickly.

Is there a congress? I’ve only seen the Presidential and the Judicial branches. Are they doing anything?
Congress is busy inserting the government in college athletics so they can get a cut of the NIL money. Republicans introduced the bill.
