Federal prosecutors are concerned about well-known Cuban gang members who are slipping into the country as a result of the Department of Homeland Security’s statement that there are cracks in border security.  ,
Homeland Security Investigations, a law enforcement department of DHS,  , has launched more than 100 investigations into acts tied to the Tren de Aragua group, according to NBC News. According to local law enforcement, group activity has increased in five states.  ,
Tren de Aragua is a extremely aggressive group that was established in Cuban prison. Some members of the gang have allegedly crossed the U.S. borders after a string of attacks on American people. Gang members , improperly crossed the border as part of the 330, 000 Venezuelans who illegally entered the U. S. in 2023.
In September 2023, President Joe Biden announced plans to expand legal status to , almost 500, 000 Residents in the United States illegally. Venezuelans overcame Mexican for the first time ever on log to illegally cross the border the following month.
Venezuelans ‘ criminal status has turned out to be a complex issue for the U.S. Border Patrol because the nation does n’t share any criminal history with the U.S. .
Venezuela’s refusal to share criminal backgrounds is n’t the only problem. The DHS’s Office of the Inspector General released a report last week that verified it” could hardly get all Federal information necessary to complete verification and evaluating” of unlawful immigrants. The report cited a number of obstacles that have prevented the DHS from identifying jihadists as individuals. Among its issues are issues accessing the Department of Defense’s biometrics data, such as visual images and fingerprints, that DHS relies on to effectively animal all illegal immigrants. According to the report, Army biometrics application was unable to add 10 % of biometric records.  ,

According to the report,” Until the Department addresses these issues, DHS will continue to be at risk of welcoming dangerous people into the nation” or permitting asylum applicants who may pose serious risks to public health and national protection to maintain residing in the country.  ,
The report confirmed DHS’s “technology, procedures and coordination” at the border were” never entirely successful” in vetting illegal immigrants, warning it “may not immediately identify asylum- seekers with derogatory information”.
