We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
NEW: DHS sources confirm that CBP's Chicago field office was given information on how to spot the Tren De Aragua gang members—This gang is the one the Ibarra brothers are affiliated with.
In the memo, DHS details who the gang is and where they are located: “Tren de Aragua (TdA) is a transnational criminal organization that began as a labor union working in Venezuelan rail yards in the mid-to-late 2000s. TdA rapidly evolved into a gang that specializes in human trafficking, extreme violence, and extortion in the Aragua State of Venezuela. The foundation of the gang and its leadership is based in Venezuelan prisons but has expanded into Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Guatemala, and Bolivia. The gang is swiftly growing and ramping up recruiting measures to strengthen its presence in the United States. TdA is headed by Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores aka "Nino Guerrero" - his current whereabouts are unknown.”
TdA has been involved in a variety of crimes while operating in South America—But the organization has shifled its focus to establish a presence in the United States. Open source information indicates that TdA members are present in California, Illinois, Florida, New York, Nevada, and Texas and that suspocied TdA members may be involved in a variety of crimes to include kidnapping, human-trafficking, sex trafficking, organized retail crime, robberies, and document fraud.
Additional identifying factors in the memo:
•Typically males in the age range of 18-25 years old
•Dressed in high-end urban street wear
•Favor the Chicago Bulls basketball jersey, specifically Michael Jordan jerseys with the number "23", and Jordan footwear/sneakers
•Often wear sports attire from U.S. professional sports teams with Venezuelan nationals on them.

🇺🇸 Teenagers are now facing charges after doing a ding-dong ditch prank with a twist. They showed up in masks, wearing tactical gear and a rifle, or what looks like a rifle.
Two #Delaware teenagers, aged 16 and 17, faced charges after knocking on doors in New Castle while wearing tactical-style vests and carrying what appeared to be a rifle, police said.
This could’ve ended so badly..

📝 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 Mario Nawfal on X: Europe's riots are just the beginning. The real economic shock hasn't even arrived yet.
I spoke with economist Philip Pilkington about the unrest spreading across France, Italy and Albania.
He thinks we're watching the early stages of something much bigger.
One statistic really caught my attention.

Now add another surge in energy prices.
Pilkington pointed to rice futures rising 70% this year, wheat and sugar climbing 40%, and fertilizer shortages threatening next year's harvest.
