The New York Post reports on another immigration crackdown:
Federal agents rounded up dozens of members of Tren de Aragua [Ed.: around fifty] in an overnight raid on a “makeshift nightclub” in Denver — after the vicious Venezuelan prison gang terrorized the city and the suburb of Aurora.
The DEA said agents in Colorado interrupted an “invite-only party” where dozens of the gangbangers were cutting loose in Adams County — just outside Denver city limits.
The busts netted cash, weapons, guns and drugs — including Tusi or “pink cocaine,” a powerful narcotic that the gang has played a major role in distributing across the US.
Video released by the DEA’s Rocky Mountain Division showed a white bus full of the busted gang members being escorted on the snowy roads by law enforcement vehicles.
Hallelujah. But I will make the same point I made here. These arrests could and should have been made long ago. Officials in the Biden administration didn’t round up these Venezuelan gangsters because they didn’t want to.
Why didn’t they? It seems inexplicable. The Biden administration preferred to give a vicious Venezuelan prison gang free rein to terrorize Americans, deal drugs, and break pretty much every law. This was a conscious choice. On what theory was it a good idea? Diversity is our strength?
Occam’s Razor, in its broader version, suggests that the simplest and most straightforward explanation is probably correct: Biden and his minions hate America, and they were using Venezuelan gangs, among many other tools, to damage our country.
UPDATE: This is as good a place as any to mention the Colombian saga. A group of Colombian citizens were deported to their home country via airplane, but Colombia’s far-left President, Gustavo Petro, refused to accept the deportees, alleging that sending them to the country where they are citizens was a human rights violation.
Trump responded by threatening an immediate 25% tariff on all imports from Colombia, cancellation of visas of all Colombian officials, and further unspecified sanctions. In a matter of hours, Petro capitulated:
Petro not only acquiesced to Trump’s demands, he even offered up the official Colombian presidential plane to help shuttle migrants back to the country, calling it a response to “the Government’s commitment to guarantee decent conditions.”
“The Government of Colombia, under the direction of President Gustavo Petro, has arranged the presidential plane to facilitate the dignified return of the compatriots who were going to arrive in the country today in the morning, coming from deportation flights,” a translated official statement read in part.
Amazing how much difference it makes when you have a president who is actually pro-America.
