Caravan Packed With Hundreds Of Convicted Criminals, Gang Members, Feds Say

By Ryan Saavedra

A new report from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says that there are hundreds of convicted criminals or known gang members traveling in the migrant caravan that is traveling through Mexico to the U.S. southern border.

DHS released the report on Thursday in response to questions the department has received about the caravan, stating, “We continue to be concerned about individuals along the caravan route.”

“In fact, over 270 individuals along the caravan route have criminal histories, including known gang membership,” DHS reported. “Those include a number of violent criminals – examples include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, armed robbery, sexual assault on a child, and assault on a female.”

“Mexican officials have also publicly stated that criminal groups have infiltrated the caravan,” the statement continued. “We also continue to see individuals from over 20 countries in this flow from countries such as Somalia, India, Haiti, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. There is a large segment of this population that we know nothing about and we must be prepared to defend our border and enforce our laws to protect the citizens of our country.”

DHS’s report also included an October 29 statement from the Mexican ambassador to the U.S., who described some of the caravan members as “very violent,” saying, “Unfortunately, some of the people in the caravan have been very violent against authority, even though they have offered the possibility of entering in compliance with immigration law and refugee status.”

The report says that the caravan “is employing tactics to push women and children to the front to act as human shields as the caravan pushes against its military forces.”

The report also contained a statement from Mexican Interior Minister Navarrete Prida, who confirmed that criminal organization are embedded in the caravan, saying, “I have videos from Guatemala that show men dressed in identical clothing, sporting the same haircuts, handing out money to women to persuade them to move to the front of the caravan. … We know, for a fact, that some members of the caravan threatened [Mexican] Migration Institute personnel and we have images showing many of them preparing Molotov cocktails.”

The US midterm elections are just days away, and the main question voters are still asking themselves as they head to the polling booths is – ‘just how much have I been interfered with by a Russian?’

MAXINE READY FOR GAVEL!

Capture

By Felice Maranz

For months, bank stock watchers have warned Representative Maxine Waters might call for tougher regulations and hold harsh hearings, target penalty-box bank Wells Fargo & Co. and security-breaching Equifax Inc., and go after President Donald Trump’s lenders, if she were to take control of the House Financial Services Committee.

On Wednesday, signs began emerging that Wall Street might be warming up to Waters who, as the ranking member on the committee in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, is the likely committee chair if the Democrats take over the House in next week’s midterm elections. Fox Business Network’s Charles Gasparino sent out a soothing tweet: “People close to Waters say she will have a constructive relationship w banks.” Raymond James analyst Ed Mills wrote that Waters’s potential chairmanship poses “more headline risk than actual negative impact,” even given Waters’s “national profile” and her reputation as a liberal Democrat.

And, for the first time in a decade, the securities and investment industries are spending more on Democrats than Republicans ahead of the Nov. 6 midterm elections.

Share of Wells Fargo, down 12 percent so far this year, show investors aren’t too worried at the moment. The stock gained 1 percent on Wednesday, while Equifax rallied 2.4 percent.

BORDER FORCES TRAIN FOR ARRIVAL OF MIGRANT CARAVAN – AS MSM CALLS IT ‘IMAGINARY’

Border Forces Train For Arrival of Migrant Caravan – As MSM Calls It ‘Imaginary’

Local media reports border security training to take on caravan – while CNN says nothing to see here!

 | Infowars.com – NOVEMBER 1, 2018

While the mainstream media is attempting to portray the migrant caravan forcing its way through Mexico as an “imaginary” threat to the US, border communities in South Texas are preparing for a possible invasion.

Local and federal law enforcement are reportedly teaming up to strengthen border security in Texas southmost regions, where the caravan has been predicted to arrive.

“Our cameras witnessed a group of law enforcement officials conducting training at Gateway International Bridge in Brownsville. The uniformed men were seen training in anti-riot techniques and carrying shields,” CBS affiliate ValleyCentral.com reported Tuesday from Brownsville.

Footage shows several law enforcement members outfitted in swat gear, helmets and riot shields carrying out formation exercises.

Customs and Border Protection agents are also carrying out training exercises at the Rio Grande Valley’s various ports of entry.

“CBP is undergoing some training at the bridges in the event something should occur. They need to be prepared and we’re ready to assist them in any event,” Cameron County Judge Eddie Trevino Jr. told Valley Central.

Further north on the South Texas border, contractors welded a chain-link fence to a pedestrian bridge connecting Mexico to the US at the Progreso-Nuevo Progreso International Bridge in McAllen.

“The gate, which measures about 8 feet by 11 feet, appears to be one of several expected to be erected along the bridge — apparently in anticipation of a caravan of Central American immigrants making their way through Mexico and to the U.S.-Mexico border,” The Mcallen Monitor reported Wednesday.

(Interestingly, every person interviewed by The Monitor, including Hispanic Rio Grande Valley residents, were in favor of the barricades with some asking for more fencing. One Brownsville woman claimed illegal aliens stole her truck last week.)

The preparations along the border contrast with the corporate media’s representation of the caravan as an “imaginary” invention created by Republicans to sway midterm voters.

“[Republicans have] been running on an imaginary caravan, false charges against a black candidate in Florida, almost anything to try and juice up their base,” CNN commentator Errol Lou claimed on Wednesday.

Fox News’ Shep Smith also attempted to allay invasion fears on Monday, telling viewers, “There is no invasion. No one is coming to get you. There’s nothing to worry about.”

Meanwhile President Trump is deploying “more than 7,000” troops to the border and could increase that number to 15,000 in the foreseeable future as the caravan continues its march toward the US.
