U.S. law enforcement and immigration officials have launched more than 100 investigations of crimes tied to suspected members of a violent Venezuelan gang, including sex trafficking in Louisiana and the point-blank shooting of two New York City police officers, according to two Department of Homeland Security officials.
The cases involving the Tren de Aragua gang show how hard it is for U.S. border agents to vet the criminal backgrounds of migrants from countries like Venezuela that won’t give the U.S. any help.
More than 330,000 Venezuelans crossed the U.S. border last year, according to Customs and Border Protection data, and Venezuela, like Cuba, China and a handful of other countries, doesn’t provide any criminal history information to U.S. officials.
As former Border Patrol agent Ammon Blair told NBC News, unless agents get a Venezuelan migrant’s criminal history from Interpol or “they already have a criminal record inside the United States, we won’t know who they are.”
The NYPD calls them “ghost criminals,” with little to identify them except gang tattoos.
During the Trump administration, border officials encountered about 3 million undocumented people crossing into the U.S.
During the Biden administration, the number of people trying to enter the U.S. has risen to 10 million to date, and the composition of the migrant flow has changed.
About 800,000 Venezuelans have tried to cross since 2021, with the number surging from about 50,500 in fiscal year 2021 to 334,900 in fiscal year 2023. The influx posed a unique challenge for the Biden administration.
By last fall, Venezuelans were the majority of new arrivals to Chicago, New York and Denver, causing their Democratic mayors to raise concerns with the Biden administration about who was entering their cities and how they would be able to support themselves without draining local resources.

These countries are emptying their prisons.
Venezuela is a failed state and they are trying to dump their trash over here.
Simón Bolivar is rolling over in his grave and what his country has become.
Slipping? Hell they are walking in and getting thousands of dollars when they “walk in”.
Slipping into the country? No, they’re just walking in, collecting their welcome basket and free flight to the state of their choice. It’s not like they have to be ninjas, or nuthin’.
the “how” is very easy...the “why” on the other hand nobody seems too terribly interested in
NO ONE is “slipping in” the USA . . . . . joe invited them, handcuffed the border patrol and shits his pants in public places.
Then I see threads like these and expect that the United States is going to pay dearly for exiling Christ from America.
Gal 6:7-8: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
The gangs are entering the Country because Ibizi/Biden and Dems allow it.
And the wonderful Border Patrol clowns are their welcome wagon. They do the Concertina Hi Five Wire cut for them, change their diapers and issue them with cell phones loaded with all the “american cream” free stuff. The Vennies are the most dangerous of all miggies invading America at this time.
it’s easy...
Catch one of them breaking the law... check their country of origin... Send them back the way they came in. Drop them at the border and leave them with a bottle of water and a half loaf of bread. Give mexico some trade benefits in exchange to deal with them. Let them riot in Tajuana.
Wipe hands... done for the day.
THESE Criminals are so TATTED UP, they are VERY HARD TO MISS.
Slipping into, or being allowed in?
