Federal officials are now confronted with an alarming surge in crime across the nation orchestrated by illegal Venezuelan migrants. Acknowledging this crisis, tech mogul Elon Musk issued a stark warning on social media, cautioning against the dire consequences of unchecked migration. Musk emphasized that the U.S. has effectively “imported the criminal underworlds of 100 different countries.”
As evidenced in migrant hotspots, the repercussions of this unchecked influx are catastrophic. New York City, in particular, is witnessing a wave of criminal activity attributed to illegal migrants from Venezuela. Incidents ranging from assaults on law enforcement officers to organized robberies underscore the severity of the situation, mirroring Musk’s earlier concerns.
The nation was rocked by the tragic murder of nursing student Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus, allegedly perpetrated by an illegal alien from Venezuela. This horrific incident closely followed a brutal mob attack on two NYPD officers near Times Square, with several suspects linked to a burgeoning South American gang gaining ground in the U.S.

Tren de Aragua, a notorious criminal syndicate, has been implicated in numerous robberies targeting New York residents, often carried out brazenly in broad daylight.
In another chilling example of the escalating violence spilling into the U.S., reports surfaced of a Colombian national apprehended at the southern border. Identified as Jerminton Genaro-Quinones Carvajal, he was flagged as a “positive match” for an individual on the nation’s terror watchlist and was formerly associated with the ultra-violent Revolutionary Forces of Colombia (FARC).
Carvajal confessed to his involvement in transporting weapons, ammunition, and drugs for FARC, a terrorist group notorious for its reign of terror marked by armed assaults, extortion, and hostage-taking.
This alarming revelation was swiftly followed by news of a Lebanese migrant intercepted while attempting to breach the U.S. border. Shockingly, he admitted to being a member of the terrorist organization Hezbollah and confessed to plotting a bomb attack in New York City.
