TX: I don’t believe in coincidence—The 17-year-old suspected smuggler had this very prominent tattoo…
So did the guy he was smuggling from Mexico.
I did a little research—Here’s what I found, “In the world of Mexican gangs and drug cartels, a tattoo of a clown or joker-like figure means you are an individual without fear, and are willing to escalate violence to brutal, bloody heights.”
Sources corroborate that is what those tattoos mean.

TX: The man being smuggled is from Mexico— He not only has the “joker” tattoo but he also has multiple #SantaMuerte “Saint Death” or “Lady of the Holy Death” tattoos— “Some followers invoke her protection against illnesses or addictions, while others seek protection from harm, or wisdom to overcome potentially life-threatening situations… Those who tattoo her image on their bodies seek to acquire some of her powerful magic, wisdom, and willpower, especially those who face danger on a daily basis.”
Sources say he has a clean immigration record.

#EXCLUSIVE ICE arrests 13 members of some of the world’s most dangerous criminal gangs in Sanctuary Minnesota—Including MS-13 and Paisas members.
ICE Director Todd Lyons saying, “We’ve arrested over 1,000 criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota since starting this operation with DHS. We’re picking up the worst of the worst offenders, and as these cases come in, we’re finding that a significant number of the aliens we arrest — in addition to having serious criminal histories in the U.S. and abroad — are part of dangerous gangs that terrorize communities all over the nation.”
Breakdown of each individual’s criminal history below:
Jose Miguel Reyes Jovel, a criminal illegal alien from El and known MS-13 gang member. He has been convicted of homicide, drug trafficking and selling amphetamine. He was also arrested for aggravated homicide in El Salvador in 2011.
Htun Min Pai, a criminal illegal alien from Burma and former member of the South Side Crips who’s been convicted of three counts of felony drug possession, one count of misdemeanor drug possession and fraud. He’s also been arrested for vehicle theft and DUI.
SCOOP: More than 1,000 known Tren De Aragua (TdA) members are in the U.S. and have been given the “green light” to fire on and attack law enforcement according to an internal bulletin that went out across Border Patrol—The agency has encountered nearly 70 TdA members since October of 2023—TdA is the largest criminal organization in Venezuela and its membership has spread throughout the Western Hemisphere and into the U.S.
The officer safety bulletin cites that Denver and New York received credible information on the threats. This morning sources within New York State police confirmed they have been alerted of the potential for “green light” attacks on law enforcement. Officers in New York are being told to remain vigilant and to reach out to their Strategic Criminal Intelligence Unit Detective or GANG Detective if contact is made with an individual associated to TdA.
One alert says that “TdA is known to exploit immigrant populations and carry out acts of violent crime.”
The Border Patrol bulletin reminds agents/officers to remain cognizant of their surroundings, maintain a heightened sense of awareness, and always wear their body armor.
This as Venezuela is dealing with unrest following President Maduro’s “victory” —Riots and protests are filling the streets.
@DenisseGomez48 and I reached out to Denver PD who pointed us back to HSI.
I reached out to CBP for comment—I haven’t heard back. The agency doesn’t typically comment on “leaked” information.
.@RepTroyNehls has sent 3 letters now to @DHSgov @SecMayorkas regarding violent criminals reportedly being released from Venezuela from prisons and traversing into the United States:
“This threat is real… Everyone thinks it won’t happen to them. It can and will and it is happening to you…”
We have been talking about the TdA threat for months now… @RepTonyGonzales took some time to discuss the “green light” alert and where we go from here with a country that won’t play ball with the U.S.:
#BREAKING Case against George Alan Kelly is dismissed—The state will not retry the case against the 75-year-old Arizona rancher.
Producer on the ground says, “A very full courtroom today drawing people from both the defense and Cuen-Buitimea. Santa Cruz County Office does not want a Retrial. Case will be dismissed.”
When I talked with him last week he said God spoke to him and said that all will be well. After 14 months—It is over for the Kelly family.
“The nightmare is over… God will look after me…” Alan Kelly briefly addresses cameras outside the Santa Cruz County courthouse in Nogales after prosecutors decide not to retry the case against him:
AZ: Protesters were there today demanding justice in the death of 48-year-old Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea—Calling for a retrial. The prosecution opting not to retry the case against 75-year-old George Alan Kelly.
#BREAKING A Texas National Guard soldier deployed from McAllen to Eagle pass under Operation Lonestar was busted for attempting to smuggle an illegal immigrant in a government vehicle on Sunday.
Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe says the soldier turned around when he approached a pop-up tactical Border Patrol checkpoint off 674 in Kinney County that had only been operational for a few days—The behavior alerting agents who attempted to stop the suv—The sheriff says Texas DPS got involved with the pursuit and used spike strips which ultimately stopped the vehicle.
KCSO assisted in the stop—TX DPS is currently investigating but sources tell me the soldier did not have access to the license plate readers or other technology that would have aided him in his efforts. He was armed so that escalated the smuggling charge. Sources say he was promised $5-6k to transport that one individual.
I have reached out to DPS and Governor Abbott’s office for comment but have not heard back.

NEW: Just received a statement from @GovAbbott office saying “If the allegations are true, the accused is a traitor and criminal…” adding that he deserves more than the 10 year minimum sentence that would come alongside SB4:

“It’s very clear what needs to be done… It’s demoralizing and disheartening that the political system is so broken that we can’t just get a clean bill that says, ‘here’s what we’re gonna do, we’re gonna complete the infrastructure, we’re gonna start enforcing the laws that forbid people from coming across and we’re gonna send everybody back—If you want to get asylum in this country you come through a legal port, you don’t come across illegally.”
@RobertKennedyJr reacts to the Senate #BorderBill during our @NewsNation #Exclusive interview and says Republicans should draft a “clean bill” instead:
“I’m not gonna need legislation. I’m gonna do this by executive order and I’m gonna do it on day one.”
@RobertKennedyJr says @POTUS could stop the #bordercrisis overnight if he wanted to:
“I would make an announcement on day one that it’s over and I would then begin enforcing the law so nobody gets across…”
@RobertKennedyJr reacts to our exclusive reporting on internal CBP documents showing DHS is aware that migrants coming through the Darién Gap are not asylum seekers—He says he would enlist the help of leaders in Central American countries to solve the ongoing issue:
