The Los Angeles Police Department has launched a task force to try to crack down on 'burglary tourists' who use the US tourism visa system to commit crimes.
Cunning criminals from Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru target wealthy neighborhoods in places with relaxed criminal justice laws to conduct home burglaries - before returning home with the loot while out on bail.
The troubling trend of 'lanzas internacionales' - translated to 'international thieves' - dates back at least two years across America, while the problem has also reared its ugly head in the United Kingdom.
Authorities in Los Angeles announced the task force after a 17-year-old Chilean national was caught in Arizona following a series of jewel heists across the California city. The FBI set up its own task force to combat the thieves in 2022.
The suspect and his two accomplices - 32-year-old Grecia Romanduski Gaete Castillo and 23-year-old Sebastian Jesus Parraguez Soto, all from Chile - were taken into custody, where they admitted to breaking into several homes in the region.
In fact, the 17-year-old - who has not been identified because of their age - was initially arrested weeks earlier in the Los Angeles area with three other Chileans for robbing homes.
The teenager falsified Venezuelan identification and continuously got away from the LAPD by making excuses that his parents had left him alone in the country with a friend of the family.
He then disappeared after he was turned over to the child and family services unit.
Experts say the issue has been increasing over the past five years, as South Americans continue to use the tourist visa system to rob Americans.
Law enforcement experts say the foreign cells of professional burglars - mostly from Columbia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru - enter...

who really cares? - its what they people in California wanted and voted for, so its what they got.
Embrace the suck CA, you earned it.
Nice business opportunity for burglary tour guides. Just combine it with the businesses that do the maps and tours of the stars’ homes. They all wanted this. It’s what they said on their awards shows.
“The Los Angeles Police Department has launched a task force to try to crack down”
Yeah. That’s good. Try.
Yes, and then have that widely publisized.
LA’s a democrat hellhole city - they deserve this crap... reap what you sow idiots...
“The FBI set up its own task force to combat the thieves in 2022” What to make sure they don’t become loyal Americans?
Thanks for posting. Not good. Gangs robbing individuals. Be aware. Reports of that in many places. Be prepared.

A Biden govt alert to illegals
the Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans freebies how-to
ALERT: You are likely eligible to apply for an employment authorization document (EAD) to legally work in the United States if:
<><>You were recently paroled into the United States and that parole remains valid;
<><>or You have applied for asylum and that application has been pending for at least 150 days.
If you have not already started the EAD application process, you can begin here by creating a USCIS account online and filing Form-I-765. USCIS will mail your work permit to the address you provided in your application if your application is approved. If necessary, you can file a paper application for Form I-765 instead.
ALERT: Biden’s Updated Review Process for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans
The Biden government may grant advance travel authorization to up to 30,000 non-citizens each month to seek parole on a case-by-case basis under the processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans.
Due to high interest in these processes, the Biden govt is updating the review process effective May 17, 2023.
Under the new review process, the Biden govt will randomly select about half of the monthly total of Forms I-134A, Online Request to be a Supporter and Declaration of Financial Support, regardless of filing date, from the entire pending workload to review.
The Biden govt will review the other half of the monthly total of Forms I-134A based on when the case was submitted under the first-in, first-out method, which prioritizes the oldest Forms I-134A for review.
This is intended to maintain a meaningful and equitable opportunity for all beneficiaries of a Form I-134A to move forward through the Biden govt process and seek advance travel authorization. For more information, see our web alert.
ALERT: Access to the Biden govt processes is free. Neither the U.S.-based supporter nor the beneficiary is required to pay the U.S. government a fee to file the Form I-134A, be considered for travel authorization, or parole. Beware of any scams or potential exploitation by anyone who asks for money associated with participation in this process.
Biden’s DHS has announced processes through which nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, and their immediate family members, may request to come to the United States in a safe and orderly way.
Qualified beneficiaries who are outside the United States and lack U.S. entry documents may be considered, on a case-by-case basis, for advanced authorization to travel and a temporary period of parole for up to two years for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. To participate, eligible beneficiaries must:
<><>Have a supporter in the United States;
<><>Undergo and clear robust security vetting;
<><>Meet other eligibility criteria; and
<><>Warrant a favorable exercise of discretion.
Individuals participating in these processes must have a supporter in the United States who agrees to provide them with financial support for the duration of their parole in the United States.
The first step in the Biden govt process is for the U.S.-based supporter to file a Form I-134A, Online Request to be a Supporter and Declaration of Financial Support, with USCIS for each beneficiary they seek to support, including minor children. The Biden government will then review the supporter information provided in the Form I-134A to ensure that they are able to financially support the beneficiaries they are agreeing to support.
See below for additional information on the Biden govt processes and country-specific eligibility requirements. Additional information is also available on the Biden govt’s Frequently Asked Questions page About the Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans.

thought at first it read “the los Angeles police department has launched a task force to try crack”.
yep, ya’ll keep voting Democrat, you hear!
“The Los Angeles Police Department has launched a task force to try to crack down”
Oh, this will work. The cops are outnumbered, outgunned and out manuevered. The japanese did he same thing in WW II with kamikaze pilots. Few were called veterans.

So they are ransacking millionaire mansions? Normally, I’d say that’s a bad thing. But LA’s millionaires are leftist elites, the ones that are pulling Kalifornia into the communist crap hole. In essence, they are getting everything they want for their own state themselves and deserve every bit of it.
The only ones I feel sorry for are the cops trying to sort this out in commieland. It’s got to be an impossible task.
The System can't help itself. It must protect the 'rights' of these gangster hoodlums and provide them the privileges
of US citizens.
Left unsaid:
- Use the pronoun 'they' for an individual, because..wokeness.
- He was released from incarceration earlier for the same crime and will likely be released again.
- ICE will not be allowed near the perp because ICE might deport him.
That's a theft of citizenship.
