DHS used paid informants traveling with the migrant caravan

NBC News reports that the Department of Homeland Security has had paid informants inside the migrant caravan to keep an eye on their activity. DHS has also been monitoring the communications used to organize the caravan:

The Department of Homeland Security is gathering intelligence from paid undercover informants inside the migrant caravan that is now reaching the California-Mexico border as well as monitoring the text messages of migrants, according to two DHS officials.

The 4,000 migrants, mainly from Honduras, have used WhatsApp text message groups as a way to organize and communicate along their journey to the California border, and DHS personnel have joined those groups to gather that information…

On Monday, DHS officials told reporters that their intelligence on Sunday night had indicated that a group of migrants wanted to run through the car lanes of a border crossing near San Diego. Customs and Border Protection shut down all northbound lanes of the crossing from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. as a result. However, the ambush was never attempted.

Yesterday DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen revealed on Twitter that lanes at the San Ysidro Port of Entry were closed after DHS learned some migrants were planning to rush the border. I guess we now know how DHS got that information:

However though, if you think about it, now that nbc has shot off their big mouth and exposed it, these folks embedded and reporting to DHS could now very well be in imminent danger.

Excellent, hopefully they will use the intelligence to prosecute, convict, confiscate and fine the criminal perps and organizers top to bottom.

Indeed, the sad part of this lede is that the NBC collection of ill-educated clowns actually think that this is a bad thing.

Yes, the folks in the media see DHS doing some Investigative work, gathering some information, reporting on what's really going on out there.

Journalists see this kind of behavior from DHS and are baffled. Who would do such a thing? Is it legal? What's the point?

Nice to see DHS doing a little field research to validate the theory for the conspiracy theories

"...wondering “Where are all the 5 year old girls?"

Interesting question. Any ideas? And, I wonder why our bleeding-heart media and womyn's groups aren't publicizing this...

There are 4 ways you get an informant:

1. They get caught and they’re working off their charges

2. They get caught and work to get you the bigger fish.

3. They get caught or offer their services to get someone else off.

4. THEY ARE PAID!!!!!!!!

DEA gives snitches about $1000 per kilo. You give them a good lick and you can walk with around $50k or more. If you give them a really good lick you’re walking with 6-figures.

There was a time when the DEA was paying ticket agents at the airports for information on passengers...

But, I guess when the snitches are in the mix with the poor, military age men that want jobs and to link up with their fellow gang members, it’s suddenly a bad thing.
