🇺🇸🇻🇪 San Antonio firefighters worried after Tren de Aragua arrests
The presence of Tren de Aragua gang members in San Antonio has raised alarms, especially among first responders who may be at risk while on the job.
San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association President Joe Jones sent a memo warning first responders to “keep your heads on a swivel and watch your six” for gang members, meaning to stay alert and watch their backs.
Several gang members were arrested Saturday in San Antonio during a multiagency raid on an apartment complex. People involved with the Venezuelan gang have been illegally entering the United States and have been arrested for committing crimes in various parts of the country.
San Antonio Police Chief Bill McManus vowed to crack down on the gang’s presence in the south-central Texas city.
The firefighters union said higher-ups in the department began urging caution as the gang’s presence increased in certain parts of the city.
Jones worried gang members may confuse firefighter and paramedic uniforms for police uniforms, potentially putting first responders at risk of attack.
San Antonio firefighters are unarmed, and it’s common for them to take a police escort when entering hostile environments that could lead to violence.
There are currently no police escorts for firefighters in areas where there is a Tren de Aragua presence, but the San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association continues to push for better protective measures for their crews.

THE SIGNAL IS FASTER THAN LIGHT. IT DOES NOT DIMINISH WITH DISTANCE. IT IS NOT ELECTROMAGNETIC.
In 1966, Cleve Backster was the world's foremost expert on polygraph technology. He had developed the interrogation techniques used by the CIA, FBI, and U.S. military. He understood galvanic skin response — the electrical conductance of biological tissue — better than anyone alive.
One morning, on a whim, he attached polygraph electrodes to a Dracaena plant in his office. He watered it and watched the tracing. Then he thought: "I wonder what would happen if I threatened this plant." He decided to burn a leaf with a match.
The instant he formed the intention — before he moved, before he lit the match, before any ...
