A former FBI chief is ominously warning Americans about the Venezuelan “prison spawned gangs” that are being unleashed here thanks to President Biden.
Forty-one members of Venezuela’s most violent gang have been arrested in the United States in the last fiscal year. They are allegedly joining up with MS-13 to murder, rape, torture, and commit atrocities at will in our streets. Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker is warning Americans about them. He set up the first international task force to fight MS-13.
He spoke with host Dana Perino on Fox News and laid out the dangerous scenario now playing out on American soil.
“We’re in big trouble here. I mean, these are two of the most dangerous gangs on the planet. They are prison spawned gangs, they… they come out of the muck and the slime of the South American prisons which are their stronghold,” Swecker pointed out.

“They are on the lowest rung of the evolutionary ladder when it comes to organized crime. That means they’re all strictly street crime which is dangerous. They bring with them just mindless, knuckle-dragging violence. They kill with knives and machetes,” he noted.
Swecker went on to tie rising violence to the notorious MS-13 gang which is resurgent in America thanks to Biden’s open-border policies.
“MS-13 is well-established. They’re going to be the more dominant of the two gangs. They’ve been here for quite a while… we knocked them down in the late 2000s with an international effort. But now, they’re coming back in and they’re reestablishing themselves and that bodes ill for law enforcement across the country,” he warned.
“We’re going to be living with this crime wave for decades. And I believe that Venezuela is emptying their prisons deliberately and sending these people up here just like Castro did in the ’80s,” Swecker asserted.

Perino then provided some alarming statistics on Venezuelans at the border.
“Venezuelans encountered at the southern border totaling 144,000. That doesn’t mean they’re all gang members… of course not,” she said.
“But… we know in the United States that MS-13 has 10,000 gang members already here. What is their main issue? Do they… are they selling drugs? I know they terrorize people with violence,” she asked Swecker.
“Right… they’re not like La Cosa Nostra where they do more sophisticated crime like bid rigging or labor racketeering or the Russians that do ransomware and that type of crime. These are strictly… they’re relegated to the streets, so they’re stealing cell phones, organized retail theft, robberies, prostitution… low-level street crime but they will kill you over nothing. And they prefer to use machetes and knives,” he responded.

Perino then addressed the police officers who were attacked in Times Square.
“This is speculation, let me be clear about that. But we had those police officers in Times Square breaking up what they thought was possibly a pick-pocketing situation. They were Venezuelan migrants. These are the ones who escaped without having to pay bail and maybe got apprehended again. There’s only one who… and you remember the one who flipped everybody the double-bird on his way out of court. Could that possibly be a part of this, as you say, low-level crime?” she asked.
“Highly likely. One of their techniques is they use juveniles… they like to use juveniles. One of those assailants… one of the main assailants was 15 years old. I can tell you if they aren’t card-carrying gang members, they’re under the influence of card-carrying gang members and again, what they bring with them is a crime wave essentially. We saw that happen in Miami in the ’80s after Mariel boatlift,” Swecker recounted.
The brutal Venezuelan “Tren de Aragua” gang is believed to have moved into New York—courtesy of Biden’s open border—by having its members freely cross and claim asylum.

“This will stay with us for quite a while and law enforcement better mount up and get on top of this because these are, these are very dangerous street criminals that make us all vulnerable. They haven’t evolved on the scale to the point where they’re doing more sophisticated crime and again if you go back to… if you Google MS-13 and machetes, you’ll see how they kill people. Many homicides across the country by MS-13 and that’s their trademark,” he concluded.
