Spanish.— A revealing report from the U.S. Border Patrol details how Nicolás Maduro’s dictatorship in Venezuela may be sending released prisoners to cross into the U.S. with the aim of “neutralizing” targets. Although investigations are ongoing, this makes sense given the confirmed incursion of criminals, including the mega-gang known as the Tren de Aragua.
Released prisoners “have been ordered to travel alongside intelligence officers to track down former military members, politicians, and Venezuelan officials within the United States,” according to the assessment by the Special Intelligence Unit of the Rio Grande Valley (SIU), which Breitbart exclusively accessed.

The report is not only alarming but aligns with repeated warnings from President-elect Donald Trump about Venezuelan criminals who—using the migration crisis spurred by the outgoing Biden-Harris administration—manage to enter through the southern border. Their threat level is such that border agents have developed methods to identify them, with their presence detected in various states, including at the well-known “Lover’s Market” in Queens County, New York, associated with prostitution rings.
Maduro’s “Operation” Against the U.S.
Border agents arrived at this conclusion about the chavista-authorized criminal dispatch after collecting testimonies from suspects. They also have information from a “Venezuelan source with details on Maduro’s operation.” Although this is a preliminary Field Intelligence Report (FIR), an anonymous source claims this is not the first such document.
Thus, the Operation Aurora announced last October by Donald Trump during the presidential campaign is not a campaign against all migrants—as the media aligned with the Democratic Party, including Kamala Harris, suggested—but an action plan to address concerns about the unchecked entry of criminals.
This raises concerns in Miraflores. The chavista regime believes that Venezuelans who entered irregularly may be forced to report to border officials again due to measures the Trump administration might take. “The Maduro regime may fear that some Venezuelans will exchange information to avoid removal,” says this anonymous source.
Over 500,000 Venezuelans in the U.S.
As of September 2022, it was estimated that there were over 545,000 Venezuelan migrants and refugees in the United States, according to data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The group includes political exiles, and thus the incursion of criminals and intelligence officials poses a danger for those who found a new start on U.S. soil after fleeing chavista persecution.
The Venezuelan exodus has worsened over the last two years, with images of thousands crossing on foot through the Darién Gap between Colombia and Panama, through Central America, and ultimately illegally crossing the border with Mexico. The Biden administration, with its rhetoric of welcoming migrants, added yet another ingredient to what has become an uncontrollable crisis.
However, it remains to be seen what actions the upcoming Trump administration will take and what further findings may emerge regarding this operation by Maduro, whose plot may also involve National Bolivarian Intelligence Service (SEBIN) officials working alongside released prisoners, as suggested by the U.S. media outlet.
