DHS Report Indicates Venezuela Sending Flood Of Violent Prison Inmates To U.S. Border
WASHINGTON, D.C. – According to
a recent intelligence report sent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection by the Department of Homeland Security, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro Moros has been releasing a flood of violent inmates – including rapists, murderers, and extortionists – from the depths of their prisons and sending them to the U.S. border, where the criminals have been repeatedly attempting to illegally cross over.
U.S. Border Patrol has been instructed to keep an eye out for this surge of prisoners who are aiming to enter the country, who have been attempting to mix in with various other migrant caravans hailing from Tapachula, Mexico. The incident is conjuring comparisons to the infamous 1980 Mariel boatlift, when then-Cuban dictator Fidel Castro allowed a mass migration of his citizens – including numerous criminals from his prisons – to the United States amid a sharp downturn in the Cuban economy, with as many as 125,000 reaching Florida by boat.
