This is John Batchster, conversation with my colleague, Joseph Umar, Executive Director of Secure Free Society,

about the number of Venezuelan young men, draft age-looking, departing from an aircraft in Caracas,

to heroes welcome. I asked Joseph what's going on. And the assumption is that we're looking at men who were sent into America to cause trouble.

At least some of them, they were greeted as if they're heroes.

Joseph here explains that the trendy Aragua is always at the center of peace of the concern,

that this is not only a narco-terror gang and a

transnational gang, but is doing the bidding of Caracas, of the state. There's Joseph O'Mear

to introduce the scale of the problem, including now that the Trump administration is pushing

back and what can go wrong and why?

Joseph Umair on Trendy Aragua and the heroes welcome given 177 young men of draft age as they arrive in Caracas.

More of this later tonight.

But a good number of them have been, especially in the last two years, John, have been tied to this infamous gang, the Trend de Ragua, the TDA.

And, you know, we've seen the numbers.

They've terrorized communities all throughout the United States.

We have a president in at least 20 to 22 states inside the country, and I know that the Trump administration is cracking down on that.

But even like a few weeks ago, while the administration was getting ready to do that specifically

department homeland security was getting ready to do a major raid in aurora colorado where the trend

that i was known to operate uh they had about 400 agents ready to raid these apartment complexes

to essentially uh crack down on this cartel,

they got met with empty apartments because the Tren that Agua people that were there were tipped off.

And so this is the kind of thing that I say is a challenge that we're in confronting right now

because these criminal groups have ties to corrupt entities all over the hemisphere.
