Tonight, on this explosive, educational, investigative episode of Light ‘Em Up.

We debut in 121 countries around the globe! Is that sick, or what?

Tonight, we challenge you to listen and think critically as we examine in-depth the Venezuelan transnational criminal organization called: Tren de Aragua.

Its origins can be traced to its foundation in 2014 inside Tocorón Prison, Aragua state, Venezuela. It has expanded exponentially: Spread across Colombia, Peru, Chile, and the US, exploiting Venezuelan migrants.

The gang’s growth has made it a transnational criminal organization.

A transnational criminal organization or (TCO) is a group of individuals who operate across national borders (not just in one country) to achieve gains in power, influence, or money through illegal means, often engaging in activities like:

— drug trafficking

— human trafficking (including smuggling of migrants)

— arms trafficking

— money laundering

— counterfeiting

— trafficking in firearms, counterfeit goods, wildlife and cultural property and sex and cybercrimes.

Suddenly we’re hearing this gang’s name blaring over the airwaves of MAGA-favoring “news” outlets like NewsMax or what I call the Fox “Entertainment News” Network … and among:

— Christian fascists,

— Christian nationalists,

— Members of the radical right,

— Trump Republicans who stand in front of the camera regurgitating GOP party talking points,

— White supremacists and xenophobes.

Among these select groups of people they know very few words in the Spanish language … and they don’t wish to learn any of the language or learn about its culture because they think people who speak Spanish certainly aren’t of the (Aryan) “master race”.

The Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and the 3 Percenters … and people of this ilk wouldn’t even see these people as human beings — because of their brown skin.

Tonight, unlike what one is likely ever to hear on one of those networks, without fear or favor we’ll deliver to you the truth about: Tren de Aragua.

— We’ll examine the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 …

— And we’ll relate how civil rights, civil liberties and hard-fought protections are being destroyed … under the guise of Making America Great Again!

Do you value your civil rights? Do you think civil rights ONLY pertain to people of color?

If yes, you are dead wrong. If one individual’s civil rights are being oppressed — then every person’s rights are being oppressed and diminished. This happened after 9/11 and it is happening again, today!

To know the present, you must be aware of the past.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" is a famous aphorism attributed to the philosopher George Santayana, emphasizing the importance of learning from history in order to avoid repeating mistakes.

You’d never hear the truth about Venezuela, its past, or its present. Venezuela is a country that is in crisis. Its people are affected directly by the widespread political and civil unrest that has plagued their nation.

Their people need help. The situation has become a humanitarian crisis.

The current U.S. administration has willfully turned a blind eye to the plight of the Venezuelans. U.S. homeland security advisor and White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller and his cronies are good at overlooking the suffering of others — yet claiming to be pious.
