'Going to be painful': Venezuelan expert sounds alarm about what's next if sanctuary city policies continue

An expert on the international criminal group Tren de Aragua (TdA) is warning that if sanctuary city and state policies are allowed to continue, the U.S. will soon be facing a slate of targeted assassinations across the U.S.

"The next step is targeted assassinations," said Jose Gustavo Arocha, a senior fellow for the Center for a Secure Free Society and former lieutenant colonel in the Venezuelan army. "That is what has happened in Venezuela, what is happening in Latin America and that will happen here in the U.S."

Tren de Aragua, which means "Train from Aragua," is a massive criminal and terrorist organization that originated a decade ago in a Venezuelan prison. In addition to Venezuela, the group has already established a significant presence in Southern American countries, including Colombia, Peru and Chile and is present in 30 major U.S. cities.

I’m thinking many sanctuary cities are not heavily armed.


You know the adage: Gun-Free Zone, Active Shooter.

“We need to stop mollycoddling murderers”


Yet mollycoddling them is exactly what DJT people have proposed since their are not currently enough jail cells to hold them all, they want to spend $8 for ankle and wrist GPS monitors as a way to do the expulsion on the cheap.

Except those things do not work. They are monitored by private contractors which issue reports up to 3 weeks late. Not only can the monitors be cut off, but several illegals wearing them have committed murders and rapes - none of which could have been prevented with GPS devices.


“It builds a case for getting rid of these guys. Permanently.”

Best to just shoot them out of hand and save a lot of trouble and expense down the line.

Perfectly reasonable response is to treat them as enemy combatants and use Natl Guard AC-160Js to handle them.

“DUH, WHA DOES TRAIN FROM ARAGUA MEAN?”


It means, “Our trains run on time”.

If they go down that path, they will find a much more robust and quick response than they exp3rienced in Latin America and they will not like the hell on earth they will unleash upon themselves.

All military age males coming without a visa from a country that is not visa exempted should be polygraphed.

From 2018:

“Drones armed with explosives detonated near Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro Saturday in an apparent assassination attempt”

“Firefighters at the scene of the blast disputed the government’s version of events. Three local authorities said there had been a gas tank explosion inside an apartment near Maduro’s speech where smoke could be seen streaming out of a window.”

“In the midst of near-daily protests last year, a rogue police officer flew a stolen helicopter over the capital and launched grenades at several government buildings.”

Ya. They are Liberal and the ban guns so it won’t be pretty. I’m waiting for the Venezualans to start kidnapping rich people for ransom. That’s what they do in South America. Will be so much easier to do in a Sanctuary City.

How far will they get with such a heavily armed citizenry?


A lot farther than you might think.

These guys use similar tactics to the rapid use of overwhelming force hits against unprepared targets our special forces developed to go after insurgents.

They are no where near as capable and well trained as our SOCOM guys but they can be very effective.

Especially in Joe Biden Democrat world where the criminals are the heros and those that resists them are arrested and prosecuted Alan Bragg style.

A pattern seems to be developing of Democrats protecting and encouraging violent criminals while they import ideologically aligned violent criminals from around the worlds violent Anti American revolutionary hot spots.

A cynical person would say that the Democrats are intentionally encouraging violent crime and suppressing American citizens ability to resist while at the same time importing violent Leftist gangs, para military saboteurs and trans national terrorists groups to attack Americans create chaos.
