I've been following the Tren De Aragua (TdA) gang's activities since January, starting with the murder of a retired cop in Florida. The situation escalated after the tragic death of Laken Riley, a nursing student, linked to a TdA member. Recent incidents include arrests in Wisconsin and Texas, where members were involved in violent crimes and human smuggling. In Colorado, armed gang members were reported in apartment complexes. Law enforcement is struggling with sanctuary city laws, and DHS has identified TdA members by their distinctive tattoos and clothing. The gang is active across multiple states, involved in various criminal activities.

@AliBradleyTV - Ali Bradley

We have been reporting on #TrenDeAragua or #TdA since January when police reported that the gang was involved in the murder of a retired cop in south Florida—But people really started paying attention after the murder of Laken Riley—A 22 y/o Georgia nursing student killed by who police say is a Venezuelan illegal immigrant—His brother is a confirmed TdA member.   Since then, there have been several incidents involving TdA—Most recently—Police in prairie du Chien, a small rural town in Wisconsin with a population of around 5400 people, are reporting that a 26 y/o Venezuelan national was arrested for physically/sexually assaulting a woman—A juvenile female was also injured in the altercation—PD confirmed the suspect has a known affiliation to TdA.   In Texas— @DallasPD confirms to @NewsNation the presence of TdA saying quote, “We have had gang activity in the north Dallas area linked to the Tren de Aragua gang from Venezuela. Our department is collaborating with other agencies to address possible crimes linked to this and other gangs in our city...” This as @TxDPS at the border arrested a confirmed TdA member working as a human smuggling scout—The 24 y/o was wearing ICE tracking device when he was arrested during a traffic stop—Texas DPS reports the gang member was arrested a few days prior for another smuggling attempt and had just beenreleased by ICE.   Late last month in Aurora, Colorado—Gang members were seen in a video walking freely around an apartment complex heavily armed with assault rifles—Banging on doors and entering units. Colorado has been disputing the claims that TdA gang members are “taking over apartment complexes” however they are not denying the presence of TdA—@AuroraPD just arrested four Venezuelan nationals at an apartment complex with confirmed ties to the gang. In the Denver area, an alleged TdA gang member was arrested in connection to a violent jewelry store heist in the city where they are seen pulling out guns and pistol whipping two women.   In New York meanwhile NYPD’s deputy commissioner says they have opened a new international liaison post in Bogota to conduct fact finding missions surrounding the interworkings of TdA.   An alert obtained through CBP sources showed “Tren De  Aragua (TDA) criminal organization members in Denver were given a ‘green light’ to fire on or attack law enforcement in Denver—HSI New York reportedly received the same information. DHS says there are over 1,000 TdA members in the United States. There are currently around 5,000 active members across the world.   @RepTonyGonzales has been sounding the alarm about the gang for months now and is working within the Appropriations Committee to establish task forces to combat the gang activity. One of the obstacles law enforcement are facing in some of these areas where the gang is present is sanctuary city laws, where ICE isn’t involved and local police don’t have access to immigration records—Another thing Rep. Gonzales is also working to change. DHS alerted agents on how to spot the Tren De Aragua gang members featuring common tattoos—From Michael Jordan to trains and guns. The agency also provided other identifying characteristics including that TdA members are typically 18-25 y/o males dressed in high-end urban street wear—They favor the Chicago Bulls basketball jersey, specifically Michael Jordan jerseys with the number "23", and Jordan footwear/sneakers—They often wear sports attire from U.S. professional sports teams with Venezuelan nationals on them.   CBP reports it has encountered around 70 TdA members since October of 2023—TdA members are present in California, Illinois, Florida, New York, Nevada, Wisconsin, Colorado and Texas and that suspected TdA members may be involved in a variety of crimes to include kidnapping, human-trafficking, sex trafficking, organized retail crime, robberies, and document fraud.   Our @NewsNation story: https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/immigration/border-coverage/what-is-tren-de-aragua-gang/

Speaker 0: Reporting on this gang isn't something that's new to News Nation. We've been covering Trende Aragua or TDA since about January, and that was when they first made headlines because the gang was involved in the murder of a Florida police officer. And then they really made headlines when the murder of 22 year old nursing student out of Georgia, Lake And Riley, when she was killed and the suspects, his brother has direct ties to TDA. So now we're seeing these things crop up across the nation, and we're seeing them in several different states. Now most recently, police in Prairie Du Chien, it's a tiny rural town in Wisconsin with only about 5,300 people. Well, are reporting that a 26 year old Venezuelan national who you're looking at here on your screen was arrested for physically and sexually assaulting a woman and a juvenile female was also injured in that altercation. The department confirming that the suspect has a known affiliation to TDA. And in Texas, Dallas police confirming to News Nation the presence of the gang there as well saying, quote, we have had gang activity in the North Dallas area linked to the Trende Aragua gang from Venezuela. Our department is collaborating with other agencies to address possible crimes linked to this and other gangs in our city. Now this is Texas DPS at the border arrested a confirmed TDA member working as a human smuggling scout. He's a 24 year old. He actually had an ice tracking device on him when he was arrested during a traffic stop. Texas DPS reporting the gang member was arrested a few days prior for another smuggling attempt, but he was just released from ICE. Now Colorado, meantime, been disputing the claims that TDA gang members are, quote, taking over apartment complexes there, as you can see. However, they are not denying the presence of the gang, even creating task forces to combat the growing issue. Aurora PD did, however, just arrest four Venezuelan nationals at an apartment complex with confirmed ties to, you guessed it, TDA. In the Denver area in July, an alleged TDA gang member was arrested in connection to a violent jewelry store heist in the city where they are seen pulling out guns and even pistol whipping two women. So, yes, the list continues on in New York. Meanwhile, New York PD's deputy commissioner saying that they have to open an international liaison post in Bogota where they will be conducting a fact finding mission surrounding the inner workings of TDA. At the July, an alert obtained through CBP sources shows that trend they are law criminal organization members in the Denver area have been given a quote green light to fire on or attack law enforcement in Denver, Colorado. HSI New York reportedly receiving the same information. Intelligence and source data suggesting there are more than 1,000 TDA members currently in The United States. We know there are at least 5,000 across the world. Congressman Tony Gonzalez has been sounding the alarm about this gang for months now, which is essentially Venezuela's cartel. Speaker 1: It means that that we have to take this block by block, city by city county by county in Texas alone. There's two fifty four counties and we have to take it serious in every single one of them. You know whether it's West Texas East Texas South Texas. It doesn't matter because these people are here. The these criminal gangs, these criminal elements are here. Speaker 0: So one of the issues that law enforcement are facing in some of these areas where this gang has been present, sanctuary city laws. That's because ICE cannot be involved. Local police, they frankly just don't have the access to the immigration records. That's something that congressman Gonzalez is working to fix. DHS, though, did kick out an alert to agents with information on how to spot trendy Arawakwa gang members. So look at these tattoos here. Tattoos ranging from Michael Jordan to trains, crowns, and guns as well as others on the screen. So, DHS has admitted to encountering and arresting at least 70 TDA members. TDA is the largest criminal organization in Venezuela. Its membership, as we've been reporting, of course, spreading to The United States, they kind of have that green light to do that. Nicole.

Trump Homeland Security Advisor @StephenM says “no version of this legally ends up with him (Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia) ever living here because he is a citizen of El Salvador…” The White House maintains that Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13 which has been designated as a foreign terrorist organization—Miller says what happens next is up to @nayibbukele but even if Abrego Garcia was sent back to the U.S. “at the sole discretion of El Salvador” he would just be deported again.

Video Transcript AI Summary
An illegal alien from El Salvador, a citizen of El Salvador, was found by two immigration courts to be a member of MS-13. Because President Trump declared MS-13 a foreign terrorist organization, this individual was no longer eligible for immigration relief and had a valid deportation order. A district court judge tried to compel the administration to kidnap this citizen of El Salvador and fly him back to the U.S. The Supreme Court unanimously reversed the district court order, stating that neither the Secretary of State nor the President could be compelled to forcibly retrieve a citizen of El Salvador, an MS-13 member. The Supreme Court ruling stated that no district court has the power to compel the foreign policy function of the United States. If El Salvador sent the individual back to the U.S., the U.S. could deport him again. No legal version of this ends with him living in the U.S. because he is a citizen of El Salvador.

Speaker 0: There's an illegal alien from El Salvador. So with respect to you, he's a citizen of El Salvador. So it's very arrogant even for American media to suggest that we would even tell El Salvador how to handle their own citizens as a starting point. As two immigration courts found that he was a member of MS thirteen, when president Trump declared MS thirteen to be a foreign terrorist organization, that meant that he was no longer eligible under federal law, which I'm sure you know, you're very familiar with the INA, that he was no longer eligible for any form of immigration relief in The United States. So he had a deportation order that was valid, which meant that under our law, he's not even allowed to be present in The United States and had to be returned because of the foreign terrorist designation. This issue was then by a district court judge completely inverted, and a district court judge tried to tell the administration that they had to kidnap a citizen of El Salvador and fly him back here. That issue was raised to the Supreme Supreme Court said the district court order was unlawful and its main components were reversed nine zero unanimously, stating clearly that neither secretary of state nor the president could be compelled by anybody to forcibly retrieve a citizen of El Salvador from El Salvador who, again, is a member of MS thirteen, which is, I'm sure you understand, rapes little girls, murders women, murders children, is engaged in most barbaric activities in the world. And I can promise you, if he was your neighbor, you would move right away. So you don't plan to ask for to And what was the ruling, really, and the supreme court see if was it nine to nothing? Yes. It was a nine zero. In our favor? In our favor against the district court ruling saying that no district court has the power to compel the foreign policy function of The United States. As Pam said, the ruling solely stated that if this individual at El Salvador's sole discretion was sent back to our country, that we could deport him a second time. Well, I No version of this legally ends up with him ever living here because he is a citizen of El Salvador. That is the president of El Salvador. Your questions about it per the court can only be directed to him.

In the Big Bend sector, illegal crossings are increasing, with a recent bust of 19 immigrants from Mexico and one from Cuba in Terrell County. Sheriff Thad notes the remote area makes detection difficult, as smugglers change routes and destroy technology. This month, the Sanderson Border Patrol station has recorded 64 apprehensions and 11 known gotaways. Sheriff Cleveland expresses concern about those who cross undetected. The operation involved multiple agencies, including the Texas Military Department and local law enforcement.

@AliBradleyTV - Ali Bradley

TX: The Big Bend sector is seeing a spike in illegal crossings—A group of 19 illegal immigrants from Mexico and one woman from Cuba were busted yesterday in Terrell County while trying to evade law enforcement—The second “larger” group in as many days. @SheriffThad says they are seeing numbers pick up as it is extremely remote, saying the coyote/guides don’t use the same route twice and are even finding some of the technology and destroying it so they can’t be detected. So far this month, the sheriff says the Sanderson Border Patrol station alone has had: •64 apprehensions •14 outstanding (hit a cam but haven't been caught) •11 known gotaways All of March: •16 apprehensions •26 gotaways  The sheriff says Sanderson Border Patrol Agents led the charge to interdict the group—The combined effort included: Alpine Air Unit, Alpine and Marfa Border Patrol, Texas Military Dept. and the Terrell County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Cleveland says he worries most about the “unknown” —Those who cross and are never detected and never caught.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Activity slowed after President Trump took office, but an uptick is expected as the border becomes more secure. The Big Bend sector in Carroll County is the last frontier, and increased activity is foreseen there. Apprehensions mainly involve Mexican males, with some females and accompanied juveniles. Recently, a group of 20+ was encountered, mostly from Mexico, but including one female from Cuba. This month has seen 60 apprehensions, 11 gotaways, and 18 still at large. Full moons increase activity due to the need for moonlight to navigate the terrain. Groups are organized by Mexican organizations, arriving in Acuna and being guided to Highway 90 or Interstate 10. Coyotes guide them along various trails, requiring Border Patrol to constantly scout new routes and camouflage equipment. President Trump's strong stance has significantly impacted border crossings, but Congress needs to act to create laws that prevent policy changes circumventing existing laws.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: We did slow off and and taper off, and and activity has been pretty slow since president Trump got in. However, we're we're starting to see that uptick, and I've been predicting, and and I really truly believe that we will see more activity as portions of the border become even more secure, with the assets that are being put on with Department of Defense on both sides. The last sector, the last frontier is the Big Bend sector in Carroll County again, being that choice location. I foresee activity being pushed out this way. And then our numbers actually increasing. We have people that cross our portion of the border, they wanna cross undetected. When we do encounter them out in the brush, they run and scatter, they evade. Or if we encounter them on the highway, it typically turns into a pursuit. They wanna make it to their destination and they wanna get away. We catch mainly Mexican males, we will see some females and we will see some juveniles, but we don't have the unaccompanied juveniles. We typically have the family member, the accompanied juvenile that's with the father, brother, cousin or something like that. And that's the second large group we've seen within this week, which again is an indicator to me that we're not just seeing threes and fives and sixes, second group of 20 plus. Yes. Yesterday, we cut 20 out of 30 that that we went after. And that group again was all but one were were from Mexico. There was actually and it's kinda strange, one female, and she was from Cuba. I hadn't heard from border patrol kind of what that interview revealed. I don't think it was anything out of the ordinary, but it's just unique to hear. We we really don't see females from Cuba. But with that being said, this month, we're in the last ten days, we're at 60 apprehensions. We've got 11 gotaways and then 18 people that are still out there that we're looking for. So in the full moon is just now starting. And as I've discussed with you before, the full moon is when we actually see the lion's share of our activity because out here to navigate the area, you really need the moonlight where other places along the border, they'd rather have it completely dark to be able to maneuver and make their entry in The United States. But out here just due to the terrain, it's extremely tough to cross without that moonlight. So with them getting back in those big groups, it tells me that they've been successful. And we know out here, of course, we have the apprehensions, we have the gotaways, but we also have what I like to call the unknown. People that cross our border that we have no situational awareness of. And there's a lot of that because again, the border patrol station here, the Sanderson stations responsible for 91 miles of border, have about 50 agents to patrol all of that. Yes, a lot of it, we have God made barriers that prevent people from crossing, but there's still nooks and crannies that they can cross through. We do have technology in some of those areas. But again, I think the reason we see the numbers we do here is because people know that it's successful. But to your point specifically, our organizations or our groups are still being organized by organizations in Mexico. They arrive in Acuna for the vast majority of them, and then they're brought out to the area South Of Sanderson and Turtle County to make their entry. That they're guided by a coyote, and then they're taken up to Highway 90 or Interstate 10 and picked up and then, you know, taken to other parts of The United States. And they don't take just the same trail over and over. So it takes a lot of what we call reconning, border patrol agents to get out there and find where they're going. But yes, at times they will find our equipment, they may be just discovered. And when they do, they'll make sure that it's an operable. So it takes border patrol a lot of, doing a lot of not just reconning, but also camouflaging of their equipment to make sure that they're they're well hidden and and successful in detecting people that are crossing our portion of the border. Nick, the Coyote probably got away. There wasn't anybody identified as Coyote, so he's he's gonna know where he got apprehended. And it's a trail that has been used before, but they've got various options off of it. So actually this trail was the same trail that they got had the other group of 20 from last week that they only caught ten and ten gotaways. But they deviated at a certain point and jumped North a little sooner after crossing the river. Again, 91 miles of water. We have the old historical points where they cross the river where we have some technology, but again, there's just so many points of entry that they have the advantage to cross. And we've seen that a lot more this year. Even though our operations were low the past few months, I'm confident having been a border patrol agent here that they've been crossing locations we just haven't found yet. Border patrol is doing a tremendous job. The operational own star forces we have operating throughout Texas are doing a tremendous job. And now the title 10 forces that are coming in, all doing a tremendous job. But what's made the single biggest impact along the border since the Biden administration has been president Trump's voice. It truly has his voice. And I've said in my interviews for years that what's gonna take to solve the problem is a strong president letting the rest of the world know you're not gonna come into our country illegally. However, he's done his part. He's got apprehensions low. And this is what we have talked about for many years in the border patrol, getting the border to a a point to where there's no entries. And I didn't realize Trump was gonna make such an impact so soon. I I didn't think so. I'm not gonna rule out that he may get apprehensions to a a point where they're zero. But to completely gain operational control of the border, it's it's time for congress to act. President Trump's done his part. Now it's time for congress to do their part and and put forth those those laws that will change the ability from a president to come in and make policy that circumvents the law. So it's up to Congress now.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Rachel Moran's family attorney, Randolph Rice, reports that the jury reached a guilty verdict in just 46 minutes, which is typically unfavorable for the defendant. Rachel's mother, Patty, was emotional but relieved, feeling that this conviction prevents the defendant from harming another woman. Victor Martinez Hernandez showed no emotion upon hearing the verdict, maintaining a "stone cold" demeanor. The moment he was handcuffed and led out of the courtroom had a profound effect, with Patty thanking the detectives, investigators, FBI, and HSI agents for their work. Family members who testified against Hernandez were present, including one who was upset that he had unknowingly housed a rapist and killer.

Speaker 0: I'm joined now by the attorney for Rachel Moran's family, Randolph Rice. Mister Rice, thank you for coming back. It's been very helpful to talk to you through this process, as I can imagine that this has just been so overwhelming for for Rachel's family. Take me to the moment, where you learned forty six minutes into deliberations that there was a verdict. Speaker 1: Yeah. Ashley, thanks for having me on. And I think you gave a really good overview of this case. You know, I think they probably were looking for a pen just to fill up the jury sheet because it was quick. We were all settled in for maybe a couple of hours, but when you have a verdict come back that quick, the general rule says it's not good for the defendant, and certainly that proved true today when they came back out and read off that jury sheet and said guilty on all the top counts and and really just sealed his fate. Speaker 0: So what was the reaction of your clients, Rachel's mom, Patty, and the rest of her family? Speaker 1: Yeah. Patty was, tearing up, obviously. I think that this was somewhat of a relief. I think this had been a long nineteen months. And while certainly this doesn't change the fact that Rachel's still dead and, you know, obviously never gonna see her again, It is maybe a a a hurdle they've sort of overcome getting this conviction now knowing that this man can never hurt another woman like Rachel Moore again. Speaker 0: Not that we expected Victor Martinez Hernandez's demeanor to change from the way it has been all throughout this case, stone cold when horrifying photographs were paraded across the screens, as they have to be in these cases. But what about the moment where he learned that the guilty verdicts, as he knows, will likely mean he will never get out of prison? Speaker 1: Yeah. Really, he's has been consistent this whole trial with showing very little emotion. During the trial, was taking notes. He occasionally looked up in videos. But when they read the verdict, it was just like, no big deal. Stone cold face like you said in the open. It just was not registering what had just happened to him. Speaker 0: So when they let him out of court, I mean, that's really a moment where oftentimes, and you tell me, victims' family members feel at ease. Because if the killer is there in your presence, you can be relieved, but you really can't feel the weight of your life maybe returning to some semblance of what it was. Tell me a little bit about Patty, the things that she said afterwards, and how she's doing tonight, the mom. Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, she's she's exhausted, really. I mean, because this has been a long trial, I think the emotional exhaustion sort of taken a toll on her. The when they handcuffed him, almost in a symbolic way because they typically lead him out in and out of the court without handcuffs. But that that moment that the deputies all handcuffed him and then let him out of the courtroom really had a moment of an effect on the entire courtroom. And then and the entire courtroom stuck around. Usually, people would leave, but I think everybody actually wanted to see him have those handcuffs placed on him. And then Patty went around and hugged all of the detectives, all the investigators thanking them. The FBI agents were there. The HSI agent was there, and just thanking them for all the work that they had done in this case. Speaker 0: Did anybody show up for him? Did he have one family member, one friend, anybody, a supporter? Speaker 1: Well, they had the family members there that were testifying against him in the first couple of days saying, oh, yeah. He's been in Maryland alright. We we saw him because he was living on our couch, and they identified him. And in fact, one of the the, male family members was not too happy staring him down knowing that a rapist and a killer was living in his house with his wife and daughter.

Unfortunately, I couldn't meet or speak with Abrego Garcia directly. The Vice President mentioned that if the American Embassy requests it, a meeting might be possible, so I plan to pursue that. I'm also urging President Bukele to allow Abrego Garcia to return to the U.S., as I believe he was abducted, despite claims from the Trump administration that he is linked to MS-13.

NEW: Maryland Senator @ChrisVanHollen says his request made to the VP of El Salvador to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia was denied. The senator said he was told by the Vice President "you need to make earlier provisions to visit CECOT.” Van Hollen says he wasn’t able to meet with Abrego Garcia or have a phone conversation with him. The Vice President told him if the American Embassy were to ask "maybe that could happen." —Van Hollen says he will make the request to the embassy. The senator is now calling on @nayibbukele to let Abrego Garcia “walk out” of the prison and come back to the U.S. saying he was abducted. The Trump administration maintains that Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13. President Bukele says he is not going to release Abrego Garcia to smuggle him into the U.S.

The CIA has MQ-9 Reaper drones on covert ops hunting for the criminal cartels and their fentanyl labs—According to multiple reports. This as the stand down on Border Patrol body cameras was just lifted today following security concerns with the devices: https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/immigration/border-coverage/border-patrol-agents-resume-body-cameras/ H/t @travyharrison for coming down to the border to work with me this week 🫡

Video Transcript AI Summary
We're seeing Reaper drones hunting for fentanyl labs run by criminal cartels in Mexico. These drones aren't armed now but can be. The CIA shares the drone intel with Mexican officials to help dismantle these labs, which emit detectable chemicals. These missions have occurred before. Under the Trump administration, notifications were made without mentioning Mexican partners. There are concerns about potential violations to national sovereignty if the US military crosses the border. Despite these concerns, Mexico's president dismissed the drone flights as campaign tactics. We anticipate the President will formally designate six cartels as terrorist organizations this week. In other news, Border Patrol briefly stopped using body cameras due to risks of triggering explosive devices and social media leaks of agent locations. However, the stand down has been lifted, and agents are to resume using body cameras. We are currently trying to find out the solution and how they are mitigating the risk.

Speaker 0: We're seeing these Reaper drones quite literally on the hunt in international airspace over in Mexico looking for the criminal drug cartels and their fentanyl labs. They are ramping up their operations and combating these criminal organizations, something that the president, of course, promises to designate them as a terrorist organization. So these are called m q nine reaper drones, and they're out there carrying out these stealthy covert missions. And they are not currently armed, but they can be equipped with payloads for precision strikes. The CIA, however, has not been authorized to use these drones to take lethal actions, officials told The New York Times, adding that they do not envision using these drones to conduct air strikes. For now, the CIA officers in Mexico are passing information that is being collected by these drones to Mexican officials. They are adamant about finding these fentanyl labs dismantling them, which apparently emit chemicals that make them easier to find from the air. And that's why they are doing this from the air with these drones because of that access. Now the CIA has reportedly flown surveillance drones to hunt cartels inside Mexico before partnering with Mexican authorities. But here's the deal. With the more recent flights that were communicated to congress, they were actually under the Trump administration using a particular notification that's reserved for new or updated covert programs that the CIA intends either to conceal or deny. That is what a source familiar with the matter said, adding that the notifications made no mention of Mexican partners this time around. So we talked with Darren Gough. He is a geopolitical strategist, a US army veteran, and a former Blackhawk pilot about the CIA's covert drone missions in Mexico. Take a listen to what he said. Speaker 1: For the most part, I do not want to have see America trans on its own constitution and just invade a foreign nation without a well thought out concept of how you get there and having the people of the of this nation accept the risk through congress to do something. Now I'm not saying that we would decide to, quote, invade Mexico. But if you're crossing the border into a foreign country with The US military forces intent on accomplishing something like that, that looks a lot like an invasion. And, you've just changed the situation significantly. Speaker 0: Now, Nicole, when it comes to the Mexico side of things, president Sheinbaum, she was pressed on these drones breaching that airspace over in Mexico. She kind of played it off today during a news conference just saying it's part of a little campaign. Now when it comes to the president, he, of course, day one, said he was going to crack down on the criminal cartels. This week, Nicole, we expect the president to make that formal designation of that terrorist organization for at least six cartels and gangs over in Mexico, Nicole. So we'll be waiting for that this week. Speaker 2: Alright. So, Ali, let's talk about your report yesterday. Border patrol had stopped using body cameras because of possible detection by criminals, but it sounds like that move is already now being reversed. Speaker 0: Yeah. And about face already just a few days after that initial alert was sent out telling border patrol that they needed to stop using their cameras right away, and it was because of a a couple of reasons here. So one of the reasons was that these cameras actually emit a radio frequency that can trip off improvised explosive devices. The other issue was that there was information circulating on social media quite literally giving a play by play on how to kind of tap into these systems and find out where these agents and officers are. So right now, Nicole, I have reached out to Axon, who is a manufacturer, and also to border patrol to find out what the fix is because today, they said the stand down is lifted. They are now set to resume normal operations and wear those cameras again. However, I haven't heard from Axon or CBP on what the solution was or how they're mitigating this risk. Nicole?

#EXCLUSIVE Two American soldiers in less than two weeks busted for human smuggling in Kinney County, Texas. 23-year-old Branden Broadhead is an Army Reserves soldier and was arrested Saturday after he approached a pop up tactical Border Patrol checkpoint and turned around—He was attempting to smuggle 2 illegals immigrants from Mexico who claimed to be cousins. Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe says the cartels are going after everyone and are having success because they’re promising quick, easy money—Broadhead says he was promised $5k to transport the two individuals and because his mom was sick and not working, he said yes. Broadhead tells me he is willing to share his story in the hopes that it will prevent others from getting involved with these criminal organizations. The Army says in response to Broadhead’s arrest, “The Army Reserve is aware of the arrest and will continue to monitor the situation. The Army Reserve is committed to the fair treatment of all Soldiers and Civilians. Allegations of misconduct are taken very seriously and reviewed under applicable, controlling regulations. Soldiers are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty.” Below is more of my conversation with Broadhead immediately following his arrest. Savion Johnson is with the Texas State Guard and was arrested nearly two weeks ago also in Kinney County at the same checkpoint.

I joined the army to make my grandma proud, but I ended up smuggling two people for quick cash. I drove to a hotel to pick them up, armed only with pepper spray and a knife. I brought snacks to avoid trouble. The sheriff gave me a pocket bible, which made me reflect on my actions. I realized I should earn money honestly and help my family the right way. My faith in God has grown, and I see this experience as a message to change my ways.

NEW: Booking photo of Texas soldier Savion Johnson—Arrested for human smuggling. Per @BenacciMatt with Kinney County Sheriff’s Office: “The Val Verde Processing Center is the regional facility where individuals arrested in connection with Operation Lone Star are briefly held and magistrated before being transferred to more permanent lock ups in Dilley, TX and the Rio Grande Valley. Sheriff Brad Coe has said that it is not uncommon for individuals with surprising backgrounds to get caught up in smuggling and cartel corruption. Over the last three years, the County has seen priests, teachers, other servicemen and women, and at least one attorney get caught trafficking.  It's also very common for Border Patrol and US Customs agents to be caught by their confederates while trafficking.  It's something that's always come with the territory, with folks being seduced by the prospect of easy money.”

Migrants from Ecuador, Senegal, India, Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua are crossing the remote Ajo station in Tucson Sector daily. Border Patrol faced a record 14,300+ migrants in a week. Due to the terrain, buses can't reach them, leaving migrants waiting for hours or even days. This strategic move by cartels ties up resources, allowing them to smuggle drugs through the unmanned border. The sector also seizes large amounts of fentanyl, with 1.28M pills seized since October 1st. In FY23, 45.8M fentanyl pills were seized at the Nogales Port of Entry alone.

AZ: This is at the Ajo station in the Tucson Sector—And it’s happening daily according to sources. The majority of the families are from Ecuador—The single adults meanwhile are from Senegal, India, Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. @USBPChiefTCA says they saw a record 14,300+ migrants in a single week out there. Where these crossings are happening is EXTREMELY remote—It takes hours for round-trip transport and buses cannot get there because of the terrain. Some migrants were waiting in the desert building fires to stay warm because Border Patrol can’t take them into custody until they can transport them—Remember they only have 72 hours to process them out—So once they are received by agents, the clock starts. So their options according to sources, is just let them sit out there until they can get to them—Some waiting more than 48+ hours. This is done strategically by the cartels to tie up resources so they can push whatever they want through the unmanned border across the sector—Which is known for people trying to evade or “gotaways.” This is also the sector that regularly seizes the most fentanyl along the southern border—1.28M pills have already been seized at the Nogales Port of Entry since October 1st according to @CBPPortDirNOG. In FY23 more than 45.8M fentanyl pills were seized at that port of entry alone. 📸 via CBP sources

The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing discussed the challenges of handling the increasing number of unaccompanied minors crossing into the US. The agency responsible for their care, HHS/ORR, is seeking $1.9B for post-release and legal services. Concerns were raised about the vetting process for sponsors and the potential for trafficking. The US Labor Department reported an 88% rise in child labor investigations, with over 800 ongoing cases. Senator Lee expressed concern about the agency's ability to track these children.

I finally got a chance to watch yesterday’s Senate Judiciary Hearing Committee hearing… “The last three years are the most amazing in revelations…”@SenatorDurbin breaks down the unaccompanied minor encounter numbers saying it’s going to be hard to keep up with the flow of people and “maintain quality of care for these kids…” Unaccompanied minors crossing into the U.S. are turned over to @HHSGov ORR who is asking Congress for $1.9B for expansion to include post-release services or legal services for all children in their care. This after the agency was not able to locate at least 85,000 unaccompanied minors after HHS/ORR placed them with a sponsor. There are currently more than 9k unaccompanied children in HHS/ORR custody right now according to the agency’s data. https://c-span.org/video/?531369-1/federal-officials-testify-unaccompanied-migrant-children-border… @JudiciaryDems @SenJudiciaryGOP https://judiciary.senate.gov/committee-activity/hearings/ensuring-the-safety-and-well-being-of-unaccompanied-children-part-ii

In the past three years, the number of unaccompanied children encountered at the border has dramatically increased. In 2020, there were 19,657, while in 2021, it rose to 140,000, and in 2022, it reached 149,000. In 2023, there were 131,000. The cause of this surge is unclear, but it is evident that something is driving more people to our borders. We need to find a balanced solution that reflects our values and brings order to the border. It is crucial to treat these children as real human beings and provide them with protection and assistance. However, our current system may not be equipped to handle the increasing numbers and ensure their well-being.

Speaker 0: It's an incredible list. The last 3 years are the most amazing revelations. In the year 2020, there were 19,657 unaccompanied children who were encountered at the border, 19,000. 2021, 140,000. 2022, 149,000. 2023, a 131,000. The obvious question is what changed and changed so dramatically during that period of time. It certainly wasn't the enactment of legislation by Congress. We've done nothing, virtually nothing when it comes to policy changes in this country. But there is something going on, a force, an economic force, a demographic force, whatever it may be that is pushing or pulling More and more people to our borders in numbers unprecedented. The obvious question is should we do something about it and can we do something that is balanced Not that not one immigrant theory and not the people who feel that the status quo is acceptable as it exists, but something in between that reflects our values and brings order to the border. Now, I think about these numbers in practical terms. I hope we all accept the premise of this hearing. Any child who shows up at our border deserves to be treated like a real human being and treated like a visitor to America and given protection and help in the areas when they're most vulnerable in their lives. I hope we all accept that premise. If you don't, I'm sorry. But I will tell you this, having accepted that premise, you have to ask whether the current system designed long before we ran into these numbers is adequate to the task. Where are these kids going? Where do these unaccompanied children go? What kind of families are they being sent to? How do they refer them? How do we follow-up? How do we make sure that they're safe once they're there? The pure numbers that I've given you here make it very difficult for me to understand How we can say we're going to keep up with this flow of people and maintain quality care for these kids. So, I've given a long opening statement which I didn't hoped I would be able to avoid

Video Transcript AI Summary
During the Biden administration, around 300,000 unaccompanied children have been placed with sponsors. The process involves identifying a sponsor, regardless of whether the child has claimed asylum. However, it's worth noting that there is no mandatory FBI criminal background check system for these sponsors. While some sponsors undergo an FBI background check, not all of them do. The New York Times reported that in 85,000 cases, there was no answer when a call was made 30 days after the child was placed with the sponsor. The Biden administration does not consider it their responsibility to track what happens to these children, including the 300,000 placed with sponsors.

Speaker 0: 300,000 unaccompanied children have been placed with sponsors during the Biden administration. Is that is that your, understanding, roughly 300,000? Speaker 1: Thank you, senator. That sounds that sounds accurate. I'd have to get back to you on exact figures. Speaker 0: And you've read the, as you As you indicated, it's the process, and these children haven't even necessarily claimed asylum. But under the current practice? You identify a sponsor, and then that child is placed with a sponsor. And I think there's a chart or priority list depending on whether there's a family relationship, but there doesn't actually have to be. Isn't it a fact that there's no mandatory FBI criminal background check system on those sponsors? There's no requirement that, and no practice by which you do that in every case. Correct? Speaker 1: Thank you, senator. Every, sponsor goes through, a, sex offender registry check Speaker 0: and I didn't ask about that. I asked about an FBI criminal background check. There's no Certain sponsors Speaker 1: have an FBI background. Speaker 0: But not all of them. That is correct. Yeah. The, New York Times, as you know, documented that in 85,000 cases, when a call was made 30 days after the child was placed with the sponsor, there was no answer. Are you familiar with that story? Yes, I am. And the truth is that the Biden administration doesn't know what has happened to those 85,000 children or, to to the larger point, to the 300,000, children who've been placed with sponsors because the administration does not deem that as Their responsibility. Is that correct? Speaker 1: Senator, as I mentioned, while our custodial authority Speaker 0: I ask you, is that correct? Speaker 1: That Our our care for the children does not. We are expanding post release services. Speaker 0: I'm asking about the 300,000, and and so there is no follow-up.

Speaker 0: The vulnerable unaccompanied children who have crossed over our border in the last 34 months since president Biden took office, What percentage of those children's whereabouts can you tell me with any degree of certainty? Speaker 1: Senator, respectfully, I want to state again that it is not accurate to Say we have lost, that we have lost them. Speaker 0: There are What about my question? What percentage can you tell us where they are? Speaker 1: I don't have those figures directly in front of me. But when Speaker 0: you get those 2, Speaker 1: I will take that back to the team. Speaker 0: Let let me tell you what's happening to them, Because clearly, you're you either don't know or you're not saying they're being trafficked for sex. Doctors Without Borders has repeatedly told us, that at a minimum, 30% of the young women and of the children to make this dangerous trek across our southern border to it and then across it, are sexually abused on their journey. There are other entities that have come up with much higher estimates, Some of them, double that or more. Can you give us any idea how many of the 430 Thousand children who have entered our country under the Biden administration have been trafficked either en route or after they leave your care. Any idea at all? Any rough estimate at all? Any approximation of how many of them? Speaker 1: Senator, One is one too many. I don't have those numbers in front of me, but any time we have a flag For a child in our care, we make a referral. Within 24 hours, we are referring to a prop appropriate, authorities, HSI, our office for trafficking in persons. If we really want to Change this narrative. We want to provide post release services and legal services to every child. Thank you. Speaker 0: My time's expired. But look, the sheer volume of this, coupled with the estimates, estimates that I've never heard you refute or that we're talking about probably hundreds of thousands of them who have been trafficked for sex and who have been sexually abused. This is wrong. It's wrong that we set up a system that encourages and then allows and then promotes and perpetuates this process that enriches drug cartels and does so at the expense of child sex trafficking, and it must end. Thank you.
