Part 7/12:
Tara reports on the alarming use of advanced tactics by criminal organizations, including drones armed with explosives, used at the border to intimidate law enforcement and conduct attacks. Such tactics mirror those seen in Ukraine with military drones but are now being adopted by cartels near the U.S. border.
She underscores the sophistication of these groups, which now operate like corporations, leveraging immense profits from drug trafficking, migrant smuggling, and arms sales. The influence of Traine Aragua and similar groups in Venezuela has escalated, with reports of prison takeovers, Bitcoin mines, and brutal violence—raising concerns about their expansion into U.S. territories.
