'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.

This is what Democrats have wrought in this country. The very same grotesque people who cheer the assassination of the United Health CEO. The time has long since passed that anyone in this country gives heed to whatever these crazy liberals say or do. They’re insane and no civil society should ever take them seriously again.

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

Probably not far, but do you want to have gunfights in your neighborhood? This is out of control.

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

That’s the attitude!! :)

Not “Trump is gonna take care of it in 5 weeks”

“OMG it’s going to be horrible!!!” :)

Even when we win, people here are still doom and gloom.

WHAT WE LET HAPPEN will be horrible IF we let it happen.

But we’re not little b.tches like other countries and “sanctuary cities” will be overrun if need be.

Or haven’t you been reading? :)

The ‘RATs would use that as an excuse to go for gun bans. Never let a good crisis go to waste.

It’s the Nazi playbook. They let mentally ill Democrats and criminals run rampant. Then they use the criminality to clamp down on rights in exchange for safety.

Couldn’t see that one coming.

It builds a case for getting rid of these guys.

Permanently.

We need to stop mollycoddling murderers and bring back the death penalty, to be administered shortly thereafter. No decades of appeals. Put a stop to it NOW.

Democrats are a demonically fueled death cult.

All they want to do it kill people, from the unborn to the elderly, and anyone else they don’t like.

And it’s not just the CEO they were cheering. Don’t forget their reaction when Trump was shot in Butler. Disappointment that the guy missed.

They are blood thirsty ghouls.

For me, it also means no more Mr nice guy when it comes to liberals. They dont hear the word no when you’re being civil with them.

That is the stand we’re going to need to take and not back down.

What’s really tragic is the fact that the leftists won’t do anything about it until it affects them personally.

A few democrats/leftists start getting targeted and we’ll hear the screams for putting a stop to it fast enough.

But if it happens to those who oppose them, oh well.

These criminal gangs ARE an organized invading foreign army.

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

coordinate with various Leos. But, a well trained and armed army requires a military response.

It has to be absolute, certainly. Even reactively.

Meanwhile, our defender of the border is heard to say:

“DUH, WHA DOES TRAIN FROM ARAGUA MEAN?”

Mayorcas, the Moron has NO IDEA.

By the way, “there are no illegal drones”
