Hit Order on Border Patrol
Border Patrol agents are on alert after a memo went out warning that the Mexican cartel has allegedly ordered a hit on them. “Information suggests a cartel member was involved in the incident,” the memo said, referring to an accident where an agent hit a suspected cartel member with his car. “Therefore, cartel leaders are angered, claiming the incident occurred without cause or remorse.”
The aforementioned incident happened on November 27, and a recording of it went viral. In the video, six people can be seen near the fence along the San Diego border trying to cross illegally, New York Post reported. Agents hurried to the scene in an SUV. Five of the men ran off, but one man briefly stood frozen to the spot.
The driver of the SUV was concentrated on the fleeing men and didn’t see the one who hadn’t moved. As he drove by, his vehicle hit the cartel member, but not bad enough to keep him from jumping up and running “as fast as he could” back to Mexico, a source told The Post.
“The information received indicated the shooting could possibly occur over the next few days,” the memo read regarding cartel retaliation. “All agents, regardless of duty assignment, should remain vigilant.”
The agent who drove the SUV has been put on desk duty for the time being.
No Health Care for DACA
Under the Affordable Care Act, only legal US residents and those considered lawfully present are entitled to benefits. The Department of Health and Human Services introduced a rule that went into effect November 1, stating Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients count as “lawfully present” in the country. “The rule also extends the definition to include undocumented immigrants with certain employment authorization documents,” Missouri Independent reported. However, 19 states filed a lawsuit against the regulation, and US District Court Judge Dan Traynor on Monday, December 9, suspended the new rule.
This is a temporary rule that suspends the DHHS’ regulation for the 19 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
The Republican attorneys general behind the lawsuit state, among other things, that adding DACA recipients will add to the financial burden of these territories. They argued that “Congress never intended for DACA recipients to be included in the Affordable Care Act program, and that the new rule will force states to spend more money on undocumented immigrants and their families – and even incentivize immigrants who were otherwise planning to leave the U.S. to remain in the country,” the outlet explained.
Crime Update
Remember the Tren de Aragua gang that took over parts of an apartment complex in Colorado? Well, residents are acting out and refusing to pay rent. “In court documents filed in Arapahoe County District Court, Whispering Pines Apartments’ new court-appointed landlord Kevin Singer claimed that ‘one or more tenant advocacy organizations…advised them not to’ make the payments,” Daily Mail reported.
The Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang accused of trafficking, violence, and more, moved into the neighborhood last year. They then reportedly demanded people give up their homes or pay them rent if they wouldn’t leave.
One young mother told the managers at the time, “They kicked the door in. They tried to find a way…they came and threw hot water on us.” Pregnant at the time, the mother went into early labor reportedly due to the stress.
New management, with Singer as the landlord, has since come in and has been trying to clean up the place, including adding security measures. Singer said there is a deal to give residents who would like to leave a one-time payment of $1,200, which, as one advocate told the outlet, is “nowhere near enough to pay for a security deposit let alone rent in most places in Aurora or Denver.”
Chinese Immigrant Ships Weapons to North Korea
The Justice Department alleges that Shenghua Wen, as well as other unnamed co-conspirators, “successfully exported at least two shipments of firearms and ammunition to North Korea by concealing the items inside shipping containers that were shipped from Long Beach, California, through Hong Kong, China, to North Korea,” a federal complaint filed in the Central District of California read.
On August 14, federal agents went to Wen’s home and seized “two devices that Wen admitted he procured to send to the North Korean government for its military use,” according to court documents.
The items confiscated were a “Serstech Arx mkII Pharma device – a chemical threat identification device,” and “an ANDRE Deluxe Near-Field Detection device,” described by the complaint as “a handheld broadband receiver that detects known, unknown, illegal, disruptive, or interfering transmissions.” Per the manufacturer’s description, it is “portable, non-alerting, and ideal for locating hidden eavesdropping devices.”
