A Mexican national with multiple arrests for crimes including assault, possession of firearms, and drug possession, attempted to flee from arresting agents in Portland, Oregon. This criminal alien was JUST released from jail earlier this month and was located at his residence with 22 firearms and another one in the vehicle. He thought walking out those jail doors meant he could slip back into his old routine, but USBP had a whole new reality waiting for him. Arrested. Deported.

REVOLTING LIES! The two criminal illegal aliens who attacked Border Patrol in Portland are a gang member and his prostitute NOT an innocent “married couple.” The driver of the vehicle, Luis David Nico Moncada is a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela and suspected Tren de Aragua GANG MEMBER. He illegally entered the U.S. in 2022 and was RELEASED into the country by the Biden administration. Since then, he was arrested for DUI and unauthorized use of a vehicle. He has a final order of removal. The passenger, Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras is a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela and is associated with Tren de Aragua. She illegally entered the U.S. in 2023 near El Paso, Texas, and was RELEASED into this country by the Biden administration. Since illegally entering, Contreras played an active role in a Tren de Aragua prostitution ring and was involved with a prior shooting in Portland.

🚨🇺🇸 FEDS BUST NYC MIGRANT GANG—THANKS TO AN ANKLE MONITOR Federal agents raided the Bronx and arrested 22 members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua after following… an ankle monitor. Yep, the high-tech accessory belonged to a fugitive with 3 prior arrests, because apparently, 3rd time’s the charm. The gang, tied to drug trafficking, robbery, and human trafficking, has been exploiting NYC’s migrant shelters to expand operations. Some suspects had criminal records in multiple states after entering the U.S. illegally. As concerns grow about gang activity in NYC, Mayor Adams is pledging to "crack down" on violent offenders.

LEAKED: U.S. Army CUI Documents Reveal Expanding Threat of Venezuelan Criminal Organization ‘Tren de Aragua’ Across NYC and Denver O’Keefe Media Group has obtained Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) from the U.S. Army of the North Division, highlighting the growing presence of one of Venezuela’s largest criminal organizations in the U.S. The document states that Tren de Aragua “has established a presence in Brooklyn, Bronx, and Williamsburg, NY,"with “approximately 400 TdA members” living in these cities. The CUI also warns that TdA members in Denver “have been given a 'green light’ to fire on or attack law enforcement,” with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in New York receiving a similar report. The document details how the criminal organization is using advanced technology and surveillance, heightening the danger to U.S. military personnel and law enforcement. It states, “Coordinated efforts between local, state, federal law enforcement, and the military are crucial” to protect against these expanding threats. With National Guardsmen recently seen in subway stations across New York City, the situation is escalating as Venezuelan gang members, linked to the TdA, have been involved in violent incidents, including an attack on a Colorado apartment complex in late August.

NEW: I caught up w/ progressive Congresswoman Maxine Dexter (D-OR) today & asked her why she didn’t wait for any facts before putting out an inflammatory statement about the Border Patrol shooting in Portland last week, in which she said ICE only brings “terror and cruelty”, is “using violence to control our communities” & called for an end to all immigration enforcement in Portland. It was later revealed that the suspects shot were two Venezuelan illegal aliens with alleged Tren de Aragua links who DOJ says had used a pickup truck to repeatedly ram into a Border Patrol vehicle. I also asked if she considers those Venezuelan gang members to be her “neighbors”. Credit to Congresswoman Dexter, she stuck around to answer my questions and didn’t walk away.
