The FBI has determined that in the next six to 18 months, the Venezuelan government will try to use the members of TdA in the US to threaten, kidnap, and kill US-based Venezuelans critical of the Maduro regime.

The FBI has said that Venezuelan officials are "likely using" members of the Tren de Aragua gang in order to destabilize the United States as well as other countries, according to a new report from Fox News. This comes after President Donald Trump has said that the government of Venezuela has purposefully been sending the terrorist gang members into the US.

According to the outlet, the FBI has assessed that officials in the Venezuelan government "likely facilitated" the migration of Tren de Aragua gang members to the United States to undermine the safety of the country as well as advance the agenda of the Maduro regime.

The details were shared with the outlet by a senior Trump administration official in the FBI from unclassified portions of a report from the federal agency. Fox reported, "The FBI assesses that some Venezuelan government officials are likely using Tren de Aragua members as proxies for the Maduro regime in an effort to destabilize Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia and the United States."

"The official said the FBI assesses that this demonstrates Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s willingness to violate the territorial sovereignty of Venezuela’s neighbors to advance his regime’s policies," the report added.

In addition to this, the FBI has determined that in the next six to 18 months, the Venezuelan government will try to use the members of TdA in the US to threaten, kidnap, and kill Venezuelans in the US who are critics of the Maduro regime in Venezuela. This is also expected to take place in various countries in South America,

Some Leftist judge will force a retraction and demand reparations to TdA for reputational damage.

That would put it square into 1798 Act territory. The articles covering it routinely state that it was meant for war-time. Well, in 1798, we weren’t a declared war, just an undeclared one with France regarding seafaring and privateers and whatnot. If the government of Venezuela is involved, now we have a state actor to frame the use of the act, at least against TdA.

So basically, Venezuela is an enemy of the United States and is engaging in covert warfare against the American people, terrorizing them and attempting to destroy peace and order in cities and towns.

To hell with them. Methinks this is a country that really needs regime change!

Can’t a federal judge prevent the FBI from saying this and from trying to arrest them? They should have law firms handling appeals as downtrodden gang members facing hostile FBI agents. /S

If it can be proved, then simply eliminate one Venezuelan communist leader every time a TDA member causes harm or death to an American.

That may be the right moment to suspend habeus corpus. 🤔

Sounds like the US needs to engage in some sniper rifle practice south of the border.

I think everybody needs to possess a certain level of skill these days. You never know when it might come in handy.
