More pics of Miami ICE impersonator Rolando Lavielle illegally possessing & handling firearms — including an unloaded magazine at the “No Kings” rally last Saturday.

Yesterday at the Miami “No Kings” rally this pair arrived dressed in tactical gear to intimidate attendees & illegally impersonate ICE agents.

Let’s meet father & son team 55 yr old Rolando “Roly” Levielle & his 23 yr old son Anthony Levielle of Cutler Bay, FL. 🧵1/ All images and content are from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.

Giving mass shooter vibes while bragging about his crimes, Rolando Levielle’s Temu tactical warrior outfit included a chest carrier with empty mags & zip ties used for arrests.

Partner in crime, 23 year old Anthony Levielle of Cutler Bay was also kind enough to include his full legal name right on his chest rig.

Clearly Anthony is not the sharpest tool in the shed. But they wanted the clout & attention so let’s make them famous. 3/ All images and content are from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.

Next week Miami Young Republicans will host an event opposing #Florida’s Amendment 4 pro-choice ballot measure.

Among the “most influential voices” is antisemitic & pro-Putin podcaster Linda Catalina Cuadros — but that’s just the beginning with @MiamiYRs.

Let’s dive in! 🧵 1/ Left: Miami Young Republicans event flyer.   Top right: Dec 2022 post in Linda Cuadros’ telegram channel “wakeupwithlinda,” which is the name of her Instagram account.  The post contains an image of a tweet referencing Jews from Andrew Anglin, the notorious neo-Nazi who runs the site The Daily Stormer. Linda’s text reads “5% of the population wants to make decisions for 95% of us.”   All images from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.
Miami based influence grifter Linda Cuadros got her start w anti-vaccine & pro-MAGA content but quickly expanded into far-right anti-LGBTQ themes on “globohomo” & support 4 Kanye West.

We also documented her sharing notorious neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin in her Telegram channel.

2/ Right: TikTok posting by Linda Cuadros on Florida legislation on antisemitism. Text: “hate speech = free speech”   All images from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.
Linda’s open antisemitism & Putin simp content naturally attracted attention in June when she did a sit down interview w Miami mayor Francis Suarez, earning her local media coverage. #WakeUpWithLinda
