ICE Arrests Venezuelan Gang Member In Raleigh

Guess when he came in?

ICE agents arrest suspected member of violent Venezuelan gang in Raleigh

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement carried out a raid in Raleigh over the weekend they say nabbed a suspected member of violent prison gang from Venezuela.

Ricardo Granadillo-Padilla, 24, was taken into custody on Saturday. Wake County jail records show he was being held on a federal detainer. It’s not clear if he’s still in custody locally or was transferred to an ICE holding facility in Alamance County.

The raid, according to ICE, also involved the U.S. Marshals Service. Aside from Grandadillo-Padilla, officers say the found a handgun, ammunition and 10 other Venezuelan nationals.

WRAL News asked federal and local authorities specifically where the raid took place, and whether any of the other people in the home were taken into custody. So far, those authorities have not answered those questions.

In announcing the arrest, ICE said Granadillo-Padilla is a suspected member of the Tren de Aragua gang but did not provide a mug shot.

They’re spreading around the nation

ICE agents also say Granadillo-Padilla is a suspect in a mass shooting in Chicago.

ICE has not released more details about that mass shooting, but WRAL News found unsolved shootings from February and December of last year.

The arrest warrant obtained by WRAL shows Granadillo-Padilla was wanted on federal charges for illegal entry into the United States when he crossed the border near El Paso, Texas, Oct. 1, 2022. He was paroled and then failed to show up for his immigration appointment scheduled on Sept. 12, 2024.

He came in when the border was over-run with too many illegals, so, a violent gang member was simply let go, and then “reportedly” shot a bunch of people in Sanctuary City Chicago. How many others are out there? The Biden-Harris admin had no interest in arresting gang members.

Trump’s State Department to Designate Specific Cartels as Foreign Terrorist Groups

The Trump administration is preparing to designate a series of Mexican drug cartels and two from Central and South America as foreign terrorist organizations. The move comes as Mexico continues to experience unprecedented levels of violence, including the widespread use of landmines and improvised explosive devices, despite empty government claims that crime has decreased and impunity has ended.

A document reviewed by Breitbart Texas revealed that the U.S. State Department is expected to designate the Sinaloa Cartel, Cartel Jalisco New Generation, The Gulf Cartel, The Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas (Northeast Cartel), Carteles Unidos, and Familia Michoacana as foreign terrorist organizations on February 19.

The designation would include the Central American gang Mara Salvatrucha and the South American Tren De Aragua.

The move follows an executive order signed on January 20 by U.S. President Donald Trump that calls for designating cartels as terrorist organizations and for their complete eradication.

Will this upset Democrats? They seem to support every illegal, and, really, have a kneejerk reaction to oppose everything Trump does.
