Mexican cartels test deadly new Fentanyl on homeless and animals before flooding market
Los cĂĄrteles mexicanos prueban un nuevo y letal fentanilo en personas sin hogar y animales antes de inundar el mercado
A new report has found that the Sinaloa cartel, run by the notorious Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, is using impoverished people in CuliacaĚn, Mexico, as test subjects.
Mexican cartels are reportedly using homeless people and animals as test subjects in a bid to control the fentanyl drug trade, following a shortage of drug ingredients from China.
A recent report reveals that impoverished individuals in CuliacaĚn, along with animals such as rabbits and chickens, are being used by the Sinaloa cartel for testing purposes, reports the Daily Star.
Gang members are enticing vulnerable people with offers of just $30 to trial dangerous experimental fentanyl formulas, often resulting in severe reactions or death.
In makeshift "labs," the gangs create mixtures with experimental additives like animal tranquilizers such as xylazine, aiming to produce a potent product.
Animals are injected to measure a drug's strength using arbitrary conclusions--if a hen or rabbit survives longer than 90 seconds, the batch is considered weak, according to the New York Times.
Experts have warned that such experimentation will only exacerbate addiction issues or result in fatalities.
It is estimated that between 100,000 and 200,000 Americans will die from synthetic opioid overdoses this year, most from consuming fentanyl
Un nuevo informe ha descubierto que el cĂĄrtel de Sinaloa, dirigido por el famoso JoaquĂn "El Chapo" GuzmĂĄn, estĂĄ utilizando a personas empobrecidas de CuliacĂĄn, MĂŠxico, como sujetos de prueba.
SegĂşn informes, los cĂĄrteles mexicanos estĂĄn utilizando a personas sin hogar y animales como sujetos de prueba en un intento de controlar el trĂĄfico de drogas fentanilo, luego de una escasez de ingredientes de drogas provenientes de China.
Un informe reciente revela que individuos empobrecidos en CuliacĂĄn, junto con animales como conejos y pollos, estĂĄn siendo utilizados por el cĂĄrtel de Sinaloa para fines de pruebas, informa el Daily Star.
Los miembros de las pandillas estĂĄn tentando a personas vulnerables con ofertas de tan solo 30 dĂłlares para que prueben peligrosas fĂłrmulas experimentales de fentanilo, que a menudo resultan en reacciones graves o la muerte.
En "laboratorios" improvisados, las pandillas crean mezclas con aditivos experimentales como tranquilizantes para animales como la xilacina, con el objetivo de producir un producto potente.
Se inyecta a animales para medir la potencia de una droga utilizando conclusiones arbitrarias: si una gallina o un conejo sobreviven mĂĄs de 90 segundos, el lote se considera dĂŠbil, segĂşn el New York Times.
Los expertos han advertido que este tipo de experimentaciĂłn solo exacerbarĂĄ los problemas de adicciĂłn o resultarĂĄ en muertes.
Se estima que entre 100.000 y 200.000 estadounidenses morirĂĄn por sobredosis de opioides sintĂŠticos este aĂąo, la mayorĂa por consumir fentanilo.

According to a 2019 report by the Mexican NGO Luchadoras, 10,000 women and girls are victims of sextortion in Mexico every year².
- Sextortion is a crime in Mexico, punishable by up to six years in prison, but it is rarely reported or prosecuted due to fear, shame, stigma, and lack of trust in the authorities²³. Many victims do not know their rights or how to seek help, and some are even blamed or revictimized by the police or the judiciary²³.
- Some initiatives have been launched to fight sextortion and support the victims in Mexico, such as the campaign #NoTeCalles (Donât Stay Silent), which provides legal and psychological assistance, as well as a hotline and a chatbot to report cases and receive guidanceâ´âľ. Another example is the project #NoSoyTuPorno (Iâm Not Your Porn), which aims to raise awareness and educate young people about the risks and consequences of sextortion

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) established the Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office to acknowledge and serve the needs of victims and families who have been affected by crimes committed by individuals with a nexus to immigration violations. The VOICE Office serves as a comprehensive support system that provides assistance and resources to individuals victimized by criminal illegal aliens. The VOICE Office is not a tip line, but ICE will accept tips related to immigration and criminal violations, here.
The VOICE Office focuses on three objectives
Using a victim-centered approach to acknowledge and support immigration crime victims and their families.
Promoting awareness of services available to immigration crime victims.
Building collaborative partnerships with community stakeholders assisting immigration crime victims.
Services Provided
The VOICE Office helps victims of crime and families impacted by crimes committed by illegal aliens by:
Sharing local contacts to help with unique victim requests for resources and referrals.
Explaining to victims what information is available and helping victims understand the immigration enforcement and removal process.
Providing access to social service professionals who can refer victims to resources and service providers.
Helping victims sign up to receive automated custody status information on criminal aliens in ICE custody. The DHS Victim Information and Notification Exchange (DHS-VINE) is an automated service that helps victims track criminal aliensâ custody status.
Providing additional criminal or immigration history about illegal aliens to victims or their families when possible. In some instances, case information may be protected from disclosure by law or policy.

The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) is the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) program that administers the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). It ensures that government agencies have essential data related to nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors to preserve national security. SEVP provides approval and oversight to schools authorized to enroll F and M nonimmigrant students and gives guidance to both schools and students about the requirements for maintaining their status.
SEVIS is a web-based system for maintaining information on nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors in the United States. It is the core technology for the DHS in this critical mission. SEVIS implements Section 641 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which requires DHS to collect current information from nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors continually during their course of stay in the United States. In addition, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act; Public Law 107-56, amended Section 641) mandated implementation of SEVIS prior to Jan. 1, 2003.
SEVIS tracks and monitors nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors. If accepted by an SEVP-certified school, foreign students may be admitted to the United States with the appropriate F or M nonimmigrant status. If accepted for participation in a Department of State-verified exchange visitor program, exchange visitors may be admitted to the United States with J nonimmigrant status. Records of these nonimmigrant admissions and continued participation in these educational programs are maintained in SEVIS. Further, SEVIS enables SEVP to assure proper reporting and record keeping by schools and exchange visitor programs, thereby ensuring data currency and integrity. SEVIS also provides a mechanism for student and exchange visitor status violators to be identified so that appropriate enforcement is taken (i.e., denial of admission, denial of benefits or removal from the United States).
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provides for the admission of different classes of nonimmigrants who are foreign nationals seeking temporary admission to the United States. The purpose of the nonimmigrantâs intended stay in the United States determines his or her proper nonimmigrant classification. Some classifications permit the nonimmigrantâs spouse and qualifying children to accompany the nonimmigrant to the United States or to join the nonimmigrant here. To qualify, a child must be unmarried and under the age of 21.
F-1 nonimmigrants, as defined in section 101(a)(15)(F) of the INA, are foreign students coming to the United States to pursue a full course of academic study in SEVP-approved schools. An F-2 nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is the spouse or qualifying child of an F-1 student.
M-1 nonimmigrants, as defined in section 101(a)(15)(M) of the INA, are foreign nationals pursuing a full course of study at an SEVP-approved vocational or other recognized nonacademic institution (other than in language training programs) in the United States. An M-2 nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is the spouse or qualifying child of an M-1 student.
SEVIS by the Numbers
View the latest annual SEVIS By the Numbers report, which uses SEVIS data from calendar year 2021 and compares that to data from calendar year 2022. Visit Mapping SEVIS by the Numbers, the interactive mapping tool where users can explore nonimmigrant student data from SEVIS by the Numbers.
The SEVIS Help Hub is a central location for designated school officials to access information regarding student records, school records and SEVIS release updates. Visit the SEVIS Help Hub to find user guides, fact sheets, job aids and FAQ documents related to SEVIS.
SEVIS Data Library
When an individual enrolls at a U.S. school as an F-1 or M-1 nonimmigrant students, the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) captures certain information about that individual in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). The data included in this data set has been extracted from SEVIS and provides an overview of SEVP-certified schools and active nonimmigrant students during a specific calendar year. This data is updated annually.
Mission
SEVP collects, maintains, analyzes and provides information so only legitimate foreign students or exchange visitors gain entry to the United States. The result is an easily accessible information system that provides timely information to Department of State, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as well as a number of other federal enforcement agencies with "need to know."
On Sept. 16, 2011, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano and ICE Director John Morton launched the Study in the States Initiative at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A key aspect of this initiative seeks to enhance coordination between the various federal agencies that play a role in implementing our nonimmigrant student visa and exchange visitor programs.
The launch of the Study in the States website was part of this initiative. Sponsored by DHS and managed by SEVP, this website provides a wealth of information and resources to encourage the best and brightest nonimmigrant students to study and learn about expanded post-graduate opportunities in the United States.
The Study in the States website allows ICE and its partner agencies, as well as DoS, to more effectively communicate information to nonimmigrant students, exchange visitors and their dependents. The site features dynamic and interactive content in a user-friendly manner and uses social media tools, such as Facebook, X and LinkedIn to provide updates to visitors around the globe.
As a reminder to our stakeholders, ICE has a policy in place that advises enforcement actions at schools or churches. With that said, SEVP personnel often visit SEVP-certified schools or those seeking SEVP certification. Many of these visits are required in order to maintain a school's SEVP certification.
SEVP-certified schools are subject to review of their certification at any time based on federal regulation. Visit the School Alerts page for a list of schools that have been withdrawn in SEVIS upon review due to a failure to comply with SEVP regulations and to find instructions for students of these schools.
Eligible F-1 and M-1 nonimmigrant students can access the SEVP Portal here. To learn about the portal please visit the SEVP Portal Help section on Study in the States.

Arrest Statistics
ERO enforces laws by arresting immigration violators in the interior of the United States. It relies on statutory law enforcement authority to identify and arrest noncitizens who may present threats to national security or public safety, or who otherwise undermine the integrity of U.S. immigration laws. ERO uses targeted, intelligence-driven operations to prioritize its enforcement actions in ways that help protect communities nationwide. While ERO primarily conducts administrative arrests of noncitizens it has probable cause to believe are removable from the United States, it also has the authority to execute criminal arrest warrants and initiate prosecutions for criminal activity, including immigration-related crimes. ERO officers assigned to task forces also help target and apprehend foreign fugitives in the United States who are wanted for crimes here and abroad by working with domestic and international partners.
Arrests by country of citizenship and criminal history: ERO arrests are broken down by country of citizenship and categories of criminal history that include people with:
U.S. criminal convictions.
Pending criminal charges in the United States.
No convictions or pending charges but who have broken U.S. immigration laws including visa overstays and Visa Waiver Program violators.*
*This category includes those who have repeatedly violated U.S. law by reentering after deportation, immigration fugitives with an executable final order of removal, and international fugitives wanted for crimes committed abroad.
For fiscal years 2021 and 2022, this category also includes individuals apprehended while attempting to unlawfully enter the United States after January 1, 2021.
ERO arrests over time: Historically, ERO most commonly arrests immigration violators with convictions involving DUI, drug possession, assault and criminal (non-civil) traffic offenses such as hit-and-run or leaving the scene of an accident.
Arrests by Area of Responsibility (AOR): ERO has 25 field offices, which are geographic areas of responsibility, around the country, each headed by a field office director.
Arrests
Detention Statistics
ERO oversees the civil immigration detention of one of the most diverse and rapidly changing detained populations in the world. The ERO Headquarters Custody Management and ICE Health Service Corps divisions help officers in the field manage the detained population and ensure detained noncitizensâ health and safety, ensure compliance with ICEâs detention standards, and provide medical care â including mental health care â to detained individuals.
ICE detains individuals as necessary, including to secure their presence for immigration proceedings and removal from the United States. ICE also detains those who are subject to mandatory detention under U.S. immigration law and those a supervisor has determined are public safety or flight risks.
After ICE arrests and processes individuals for administrative immigration violations or CBP and other state, local and federal law enforcement partners turn them over to ICE, officials may detain them while their immigration cases are pending or release them under a form of supervision. Both ICE and the Department of Justiceâs Executive Office for Immigration Review â the office that oversees the immigration court system â can impact custody status at various points during a noncitizenâs immigration proceedings.
Officials make custody determinations on an individual basis, taking into account all facets of a personâs situation, including their immigration history and criminal records. Authorities also consider family ties, humanitarian issues and whether a person may be a flight risk.
Whenever possible, ICE seeks to house detained individuals within the geographical areas of their arrests to minimize their time in ICE custody and keep them close to family, friends and legal representatives.
Most detained individuals are transfers from CBP following arrests at the border. ICE is legally obligated to detain some of these people, including those with certain criminal histories.
If a noncitizen or their representative believes they should not be subject to enforcement, detention or removal, they should contact their local ERO field office to request a case review or initiate the ICE Case Review process. People who want to contact ICE about their cases should first notify their local ERO field office via email with supporting documentation for an initial review.
Detention by country of citizenship and criminal history: Detained individuals are categorized in the following ways:
Individuals with criminal convictions.
Individuals with pending criminal charges.
Those with no convictions or pending charges but who have broken U.S. immigration laws.*
*The third category includes individuals without any known criminal convictions or pending charges who have repeatedly violated U.S. law by reentering after deportation; immigration fugitives with a final order of removal by an immigration judge; and foreign fugitives wanted for crimes committed abroad.
Detention over time: Most detained individuals are transfers from CBP following arrests made at the border. Higher numbers of border crossings are typically associated with higher detention numbers.
Detention
ICE provides the above Arrests, Removal, Detention and Alternatives to Detention statistics for public use. ICE confirms the integrity of the data as published on this site and cannot attest to subsequent transmissions. Data fluctuate until "locked" at the conclusion of the fiscal year. These statistics are published with data one quarter in arrears. Future quarter-end and year-end reporting may include corrections and other updates and will supersede previous quarterâs data.
*The Harlingen AOR was added from parts of San Antonio and Houston in FY2022.
Removals & Expulsions
ICEâs authority to remove noncitizens exists under the Immigration and Nationality Act pursuant to Title 8 of the U.S. Code, sometimes called âTitle 8 authority.â
Between March 2020 and May 2023, the Department of Homeland Security quickly expelled irregular border crossers from the United States under a public health order the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued March 21, 2020, sometimes called âTitle 42 authority.â
Title 8: ICE principally removes noncitizens from the United States after they have received a final order of removal. These removal operations require complex coordination, management and facilitation efforts to successfully remove and return noncitizens from the United States. ERO accomplishes this mission through charter flights and on commercial airlines for escorted and unescorted removals, in addition to ground transportation missions on the northern and southern borders and at ports of entry.
EROâs highest-profile removals generally comprise fugitives wanted for serious crimes in other countries, such as homicide, gang-related offenses, corruption and fraud. Often, these individuals come to EROâs attention because of Interpol notices. Other high-profile removals include known or suspected terrorists, those involved in counterproliferation crimes, and those on the terrorist watch list and no-fly list. War criminals and others convicted or suspected of committing human rights abuses â including torture, ethnic cleansing and genocide â are also in this category. Authorities escort high-profile removals out of the country via commercial flights, regularly scheduled ICE charter flights and special high-risk charters. In many cases, the individuals are turned over to law enforcement authorities in their home country to face charges or sentencing.
Title 42: Title 42 is a public health authority guided by the CDC and is not an immigration authority. On March 21, 2020, The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services transferred Title 42 Public Health Authority to CBP. Under Title 42, CBP prohibited the entry of certain people who potentially posed a health risk by being subject to previously announced travel restrictions or having unlawfully entered the country to bypass health screening measures. Under Title 42 authority, DHS rapidly expelled irregular border crossers to their country of last transit â Canada or Mexico â or, when such an expulsion was not possible, interagency partners engaged foreign government officials to secure noncitizensâ expulsion to their countries of origin.
Removals
ICE provides the above Arrests, Removal, Detention and Alternatives to Detention statistics for public use. ICE confirms the integrity of the data as published on this site and cannot attest to subsequent transmissions. Data fluctuate until "locked" at the conclusion of the fiscal year. These statistics are published with data one quarter in arrears. Future quarter-end and year-end reporting may include corrections and other updates and will supersede previous quarterâs data.
*The Harlingen AOR was added from parts of San Antonio and Houston in FY2022.
ICE served a role in transporting noncitizens expelled under Title 42 via ICE charter flights.
The data in the chart below represents only Title 42 expulsions conducted by ICE via ICE charter flights. Effective May 11, 2023, President Joe Biden declared the end of the COVID-19 national emergency.
Comprehensive data related to Title 42 expulsions for the United States is available through CBP. For additional information, please visit CBP's Title 42 statistical report.
Expulsions
Individual T42 Expulsion flights may stop at multiple locations. ICE confirms the integrity of the data as published on this site and cannot attest to subsequent transmissions. Data fluctuates until âlockedâ at the conclusion of the fiscal year. These statistics are published with data one quarter in arrears. Future quarter-end and year-end reporting may include corrections and other updates and will supersede previous quarterâs data.
Alternatives to Detention (ATD)
The Alternatives to Detention (ATD) programâs Intensive Supervision Appearance Program is a noncitizen compliance tool overseen by ERO.
ATD uses technology and case management to more closely monitor cases assigned to the non-detained docket where detention is not necessary or appropriate. The level of supervision and technology participants are assigned is based on their current immigration status, criminal history, compliance history, community or family ties, caregiver or provider status, and other humanitarian or medical conditions. Officials may enroll noncitizens in ATD following a border apprehension by CBP or an ICE interior administrative arrest, or at a later stage in removal proceedings.
In fiscal year 2023, ICEâs ATD program deployed the following types of monitoring:
Facial matching technology: Facial matching technology allows participants to report compliance via an app installed on a noncitizenâs own smartphone or a dedicated government-issued device.
GPS monitoring: Satellites track participantsâ location to ensure compliance with conditions of release.
Telephonic reporting (telephonic check-in): Phone calls are compared against a voiceprint obtained during enrollment.
Wrist worn device: Provides GPS monitoring, facial matching, and virtual case management functionality, including virtual check-ins and reminders. ICE is conducting a limited deployment of 50 wrist worn devices in the Denver AOR.
Alternatives to Detention
ICE provides the above Arrests, Removal, Detention and Alternatives to Detention statistics for public use. ICE confirms the integrity of the data as published on this site and cannot attest to subsequent transmissions. Data fluctuate until "locked" at the conclusion of the fiscal year. These statistics are published with data one quarter in arrears. Future quarter-end and year-end reporting may include corrections and other updates and will supersede previous quarterâs data.
*The Harlingen AOR was added from parts of San Antonio and Houston in FY2022.
*Unknown Legal Stage: Legal stage data was unavailable when the record was produced. Data is extracted under a point-in-time scenario.
AOR refers to the area of responsibility that ICE has identified as a geographic region for an action taken.
Arresting Agency
Arresting agency is either CBP or ICE. Border patrol and inspections by air, land or sea are the program areas included within the CBP data.
Arrests
ICE administrative arrests occur when an ICE officer physically apprehends a noncitizen for a non-criminal civil infraction. The immigration courts hear these cases. ICE civil immigration enforcement arrests do not always lead to detention.
ATD
ATD refers to ICE's Alternatives to Detention program. ATD is a flight-mitigation tool that uses technology and case management to ensure noncitizen compliance with release conditions, court hearings and final orders of removal while allowing them to remain in their communities as they move through the immigration process or prepare for departure from the United States.
CBP
U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Citizenship Country
Country of citizenship of the noncitizen. Country of Citizenship is derived from the ICE system of record as it is input by the officer at the time of processing. An "Unknown" Country indicates the noncitizen failed or refused to identify a country of citizenship or the officer lacked documentation to do so at the time. Country of Birth or Citizenship can be updated at anytime during the Immigration Lifecycle by an Officer. These noncitizens can include those that were born in Palestine, West Bank, or the Gaza strip and considered Stateless.
Criminality
Criminality encompasses three categories: individuals with criminal convictions, people with pending criminal charges, and other immigration violators. Those with convictions are immigration violators who have a criminal conviction in ICE's system of record at the time of the enforcement action. Pending criminal charges refers to an immigration violator with pending criminal charges in ICE's system of record at the time of the enforcement action. Other immigration violators are individuals without any known criminal convictions or pending charges in ICE's system of record at the time of the enforcement action.
Detentions
The detention data presented counts the number of initial book-ins into ICE facilities and does not include juveniles who are transferred to Office of Refugee Resettlement custody or housed in an ORR facility. U.S. Marshals Service prisoners are also excluded. Transfers between ICE facilities are not counted as new detention events, and noncitizens may be booked into ICE facilities more than once without triggering a new detention event.
Facial Monitoring
Facial monitoring technology is a form of monitoring for ATD participants. It is a smartphone application that uses facial recognition technology to verify the user's identity and physical location. This application also provides video conferencing, community referrals, messaging between the noncitizen and an officer, document capturing, appointment reminders and a calendar.
GPS Ankle Monitor
A GPS ankle monitor is a low-profile ankle bracelet that uses GPS to provide detailed information about an ATD participant's movement.
ICE
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Noncitizens
People without U.S. citizenship or nationality, which may include stateless people.
Removals
ICE removal data includes returns. Returns include:
Voluntary returns: Discretionary relief granted by an ICE officer at the border by permitting a noncitizen to depart the United States without a removal order and related immigration consequences.
Voluntary departures: Discretionary relief granted in removal proceedings or by an ICE officer in lieu of removal proceedings permitting a noncitizen to depart the United States voluntarily without a removal order and related immigration consequences.
Withdrawals under docket control: Discretionary relief granted by an ICE officer or immigration judge to a noncitizen encountered at a port of entry that permits the noncitizen to voluntarily withdraw an application for admission to the United States and depart the United States without a removal order and related immigration consequences.
ICE Removals include noncitizens processed for Expedited Removal (ER) or Voluntary Return (VR) that are turned over to ERO for detention. As of May 12, 2023, noncitizens processed for ER that were turned over from Border Patrol to ICE for removal via ICE Air are also included. Noncitizens processed for ER and not detained by ERO or VR after June 1, 2013, and not detained by ERO are primarily processed by Border Patrol. Those statistics are not included in this dashboard and are maintained by CBP. This does not include Title 42 expulsions.
Staging sites or S-sites
Staging sites, also known as S-Sites, are locations mostly along the Southwest Border that enroll participants being released from CBP or ICE custody. These participants are generally given fewer than 30 days
to report to an ERO office in their final destination AOR. After a participant arrives in their AOR, local ATD officers determine their continued suitability in the ATD program and possible transition to other sites.
Telephonic Check-in
Telephonic check-in is a form of monitoring in the ATD program and is a multilingual telephonic voice recognition system. Telephonic check-in automatically calls ATD program participants in one of 36 languages and validates participantsâ voices against a master template resulting in pass or failure.
Wrist worn device
Provides GPS monitoring, facial matching, and virtual case management functionality, including virtual check-ins and reminders.

PROTECTING THE UNITED STATES FROM FOREIGN TERRORISTS AND OTHER
NATIONAL SECURITY AND PUBLIC SAFETY THREATS
EXECUTIVE ORDER
January 20, 2025
PROTECTING THE UNITED STATES FROM FOREIGN TERRORISTS AND OTHER
NATIONAL SECURITY AND PUBLIC SAFETY THREATS
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq., and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Policy and Purpose. (a) It is the policy of the United States to protect its citizens from aliens who intend to commit terrorist attacks, threaten our national security, espouse hateful ideology, or otherwise exploit the immigration laws for malevolent purposes.
(b) To protect Americans, the United States must be vigilant during the visa-issuance process to ensure that those aliens approved for admission into the United States do not intend to harm Americans or our national interests. More importantly, the United States must identify them before their admission or entry into the United States. And the United States must ensure that admitted aliens and aliens otherwise already present in the United States do not bear hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles, and do not advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security.
Sec. 2. Enhanced Vetting and Screening Across Agencies.
(a) The Secretary of State, in coordination with the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence, shall promptly:
(i) identify all resources that may be used to ensure that all aliens seeking admission to the United States, or who are already in the United States, are vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible;
(ii) determine the information needed from any country to adjudicate any visa, admission, or other benefit under the INA for one of its nationals, and to ascertain whether the individual seeking the benefit is who the individual claims to be and that the individual is not a security or public-safety threat;
(iii) re-establish a uniform baseline for screening and vetting standards and procedures, consistent with the uniform baseline that existed on January 19, 2021, that will be used for any alien seeking a visa or immigration benefit of any kind; and
(iv) vet and screen to the maximum degree possible all aliens who intend to be admitted, enter, or are already inside the United States, particularly those aliens coming from regions or nations with identified security risks.
(b) Within 60 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence shall jointly submit to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security, a report:
(i) identifying countries throughout the world for which vetting and screening information is so deficient as to warrant a partial or full suspension on the admission of nationals from those countries pursuant to section 212(f) of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)); and
(ii) identifying how many nationals from those countries have entered or have been admitted into the United States on or since January 20, 2021, and any other information the Secretaries and Attorney General deem relevant to the actions or activities of such nationals since their admission or entry to the United States.
(c) Whenever information is identified that would support the exclusion or removal of any alien described in subsection 2(b), the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take immediate steps to exclude or remove that alien unless she determines that doing so would inhibit a significant pending investigation or prosecution of the alien for a serious criminal offense or would be contrary to the national security interests of the United States.
Sec. 3. Additional Measures to Protect the Nation. As soon as possible, but no later than 30 days from the date of this order, the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence, shall also:
(a) Evaluate and adjust all existing regulations, policies, procedures, and provisions of the Foreign Service Manual, or guidance of any kind pertaining to each of the grounds of inadmissibility listed in sections 212(a)(2)-(3) of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(2)-(3)), to ensure the continued safety and security of the American people and our constitutional republic;
(b) Ensure that sufficient safeguards are in place to prevent any refugee or stateless individual from being admitted to the United States without undergoing stringent identification verification beyond that required of any other alien seeking admission or entry to the United States;
(c) Evaluate all visa programs to ensure that they are not used by foreign nation-states or other hostile actors to harm the security, economic, political, cultural, or other national interests of the United States;
(d) Recommend any actions necessary to protect the American people from the actions of foreign nationals who have undermined or seek to undermine the fundamental constitutional rights of the American people, including, but not limited to, our Citizensâ rights to freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion protected by the First Amendment, who preach or call for sectarian violence, the overthrow or replacement of the culture on which our constitutional Republic stands, or who provide aid, advocacy, or support for foreign terrorists;
(e) Ensure the devotion of adequate resources to identify and take appropriate action for offenses described in 8 U.S.C. 1451;
(f) Evaluate the adequacy of programs designed to ensure the proper assimilation of lawful immigrants into the United States, and recommend any additional measures to be taken that promote a unified American identity and attachment to the Constitution, laws, and founding principles of the United States; and
(g) Recommend any additional actions to protect the American people and our constitutional republic from foreign threats.
Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

News.com.au Deputy Editor Liz Burke slams the Los Angeles Fire Departmentâs diversity chief after a viral video received backlash when she defended DEI hiring by blaming victims.
âThere are some quotes from that clip that look pretty bad no matter what the context, this week especially,â Ms Burke said.
âThis clip was made promoting the departmentâs DEI push, theyâre trying to overcome some criticism.
âThereâs no real good way to spin those lines coming out now.â
Sodoma y Gomorra son dos ciudades de la Biblia que fueron destruidas por Dios debido a su maldad: [1, 2]
Historia
En el libro de GĂŠnesis, Dios le dice a Abraham que destruirĂĄ Sodoma y Gomorra, y Abraham pide la vida de todas las personas justas que viven allĂ.
Dios acepta perdonar las ciudades si puede encontrar 50 personas justas, pero no encuentra ninguna.
Las ciudades son destruidas por piedras que caen del cielo. [1, 3]
UbicaciĂłn
Es probable que las ciudades estuvieran ubicadas en el Valle de Sidim, que ahora es el ĂĄrea del Mar Muerto en Israel.
El sitio industrial actual de Sedom, Israel, estĂĄ cerca del presunto sitio de las ciudades. [4]
Significado
La historia de Sodoma y Gomorra es una advertencia de que el deseo de riqueza y seguridad puede apoderarse de nosotros si no tenemos cuidado.
TambiĂŠn muestra la justa ira de Dios hacia la arrogancia y la violencia,
y su hospitalidad hacia nosotros a pesar de nuestra debilidad y fracaso. [3, 5]
Referencias
Sodoma y Gomorra se mencionan en todo el Antiguo y el Nuevo Testamento [1]
Otras obras
TambiĂŠn hay una pelĂcula de 1962 llamada Sodoma y Gomorra dirigida por Robert Aldrich y Sergio Leone. [6]

One of the criminal groups that practice sextortion in Wisconsin is the **Fresno Bulldogs**,
a street gang that originated from the Nuestra Familia prison gang.
The Fresno Bulldogs have been involved in various crimes, such as drug trafficking, robbery, murder, and extortionÂł.
The gang allegedly uses social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram,
to lure and blackmail young women, especially Latinas, into sending them nude photos or videos.
The gang then threatens to publish or distribute the images to the women's families, friends, or employers
unless they pay a ransom or agree to work for them as drug mules, prostitutes, or assassins.
Some of the victims of sextortion in Wisconsin have decided to fight back against the gang and its threats.
In 2021, a 25-year-old man from Chicago was charged with sextorting a 16-year-old girl from Wisconsin, who was Latina.
He met her on a dating app and convinced her to send him nude photos and videos.
He then blackmailed her for money and sex, threatening to post her images online or kill her familyâ´.
Sextortion is a serious crime that can have devastating effects on the victimsâ mental health, self-esteem, and safety.
The FBI and other law enforcement agencies have been trying to address this issue by raising awareness,
providing support, and prosecuting the perpetrators.
However, the challenges of combating sextortion remain, such as the lack of reporting,
the difficulty of tracing the online activity, and the complexity of the legal framework.
Uno de los grupos criminales que practican la sextorsiĂłn en Wisconsin son los **Fresno Bulldogs**,
una pandilla callejera que se originĂł a partir de la pandilla de la prisiĂłn Nuestra Familia.
Los Fresno Bulldogs han estado involucrados en varios delitos, como trĂĄfico de drogas, robo, asesinato y extorsiĂłnÂł.
La pandilla supuestamente utiliza plataformas de redes sociales, como Facebook e Instagram,
para atraer y chantajear a mujeres jĂłvenes, especialmente latinas, para que les envĂen fotos o videos desnudos.
Luego, la pandilla amenaza con publicar o distribuir las imĂĄgenes a las familias, amigos o empleadores de las mujeres
a menos que paguen un rescate o acepten trabajar para ellas como mulas de drogas, prostitutas o asesinas.
Algunas de las vĂctimas de sextorsiĂłn en Wisconsin han decidido luchar contra la pandilla y sus amenazas.
En 2021, un hombre de 25 aĂąos de Chicago fue acusado de sextorsiĂłn a una niĂąa de 16 aĂąos de Wisconsin, que era latina. La conociĂł en una aplicaciĂłn de citas y la convenciĂł de que le enviara fotos y videos desnudos.
Luego la chantajeĂł para que le diera dinero y sexo, amenazĂĄndola con publicar sus imĂĄgenes en lĂnea o matar a su familiaâ´.
La sextorsiĂłn es un delito grave que puede tener efectos devastadores en la salud mental, la autoestima y la seguridad de las vĂctimas.
El FBI y otras agencias de aplicaciĂłn de la ley han estado tratando de abordar este problema creando conciencia,
brindando apoyo y procesando a los perpetradores.
Sin embargo, los desafĂos de combatir la sextorsiĂłn siguen siendo, como la falta de denuncia,
la dificultad de rastrear la actividad en lĂnea y la complejidad del marco legal.
One of the criminal groups that practice sextortion in Mexico is the **JuĂĄrez Cartel**,
also known as the Vicente Carrillo Fuentes Organization, a Mexican drug cartel based in Ciudad JuĂĄrez, ChihuahuaÂł.
The JuĂĄrez Cartel allegedly uses social media platforms, such as Facebook and WhatsApp,
to lure and blackmail women, especially young and vulnerable ones, into sending them nude photos or videos².
The cartel then threatens to publish or distribute the images to the womenâs families, friends, or employers
unless they pay a ransom or agree to work for them as drug mules, prostitutes, or assassins².
Some of the victims of sextortion in Mexico have decided to fight back against the cartel and its threats.
In Delicias, a city in the southern part of Chihuahua,
a group of women formed a self-defense organization called **Las Delicias**, which means âThe Delightsâ in Spanish.
Las Delicias is composed of women who have been extorted, abused, or kidnapped by the JuĂĄrez Cartel,
and who have managed to escape or resist their demands.
The groupâs mission is to expose the cartelâs activities,
protect other women from falling prey to them, and seek justice for their crimes.
Las Delicias operates through a network of informants, hackers, and activists,
who gather and share information about the cartelâs members, locations, and operations.
They also use social media to warn other women about the dangers of sextortion
and to offer support and advice to those who have been victimized.
The group has also collaborated with other self-defense groups in the region, such as the **Autodefensas de Chihuahua**,
which is composed of farmers and ranchers who have taken up arms against the cartelâs extortion and violence.
The actions of Las Delicias and other self-defense groups have not gone unnoticed by the cartel,
which has retaliated with more threats, attacks, and kidnappings.
The group has also faced challenges from the authorities,
who have accused them of being vigilantes, criminals, or even collaborators of rival cartels.
The group has denied these allegations and has demanded that the government take more action to stop the cartel and protect the citizens .
Uno de los grupos criminales que practican la sextorsiĂłn en MĂŠxico es el **CĂĄrtel de JuĂĄrez**,
tambiĂŠn conocido como la OrganizaciĂłn Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, un cĂĄrtel de drogas mexicano con sede en Ciudad JuĂĄrez, ChihuahuaÂł.
El CĂĄrtel de JuĂĄrez supuestamente utiliza plataformas de redes sociales, como Facebook y WhatsApp,
para atraer y chantajear a mujeres, especialmente a las jĂłvenes y vulnerables, para que les envĂen fotos o videos desnudos².
El cĂĄrtel luego amenaza con publicar o distribuir las imĂĄgenes a las familias, amigos o empleadores de las mujeres
a menos que paguen un rescate o acepten trabajar para ellos como mulas de drogas, prostitutas o asesinas².
Algunas de las vĂctimas de la sextorsiĂłn en MĂŠxico han decidido luchar contra el cĂĄrtel y sus amenazas.
En Delicias, una ciudad en la parte sur de Chihuahua,
un grupo de mujeres formĂł una organizaciĂłn de autodefensa llamada **Las Delicias**, que significa "Las Delicias" en espaĂąol. Las Delicias estĂĄ conformada por mujeres que han sido extorsionadas, abusadas o secuestradas por el CĂĄrtel de JuĂĄrez,
y que han logrado escapar o resistirse a sus demandas.
La misiĂłn del grupo es exponer las actividades del cĂĄrtel,
proteger a otras mujeres para que no caigan presas de ellas y buscar justicia por sus crĂmenes.
Las Delicias opera a travĂŠs de una red de informantes, hackers y activistas,
que recopilan y comparten informaciĂłn sobre los miembros, ubicaciones y operaciones del cĂĄrtel.
TambiĂŠn utilizan las redes sociales para advertir a otras mujeres sobre los peligros de la sextorsiĂłn
y para ofrecer apoyo y asesoramiento a quienes han sido vĂctimas.
El grupo tambiĂŠn ha colaborado con otros grupos de autodefensa en la regiĂłn, como las **Autodefensas de Chihuahua**,
que estĂĄ conformada por agricultores y ganaderos que han tomado las armas contra la extorsiĂłn y la violencia del cĂĄrtel.
Las acciones de Las Delicias y otros grupos de autodefensa no han pasado desapercibidas para el cĂĄrtel,
que ha respondido con mĂĄs amenazas, ataques y secuestros.
El grupo tambiĂŠn ha enfrentado cuestionamientos de las autoridades,
que los han acusado de ser vigilantes, criminales o incluso colaboradores de cĂĄrteles rivales.
El grupo ha negado estas acusaciones y ha exigido que el gobierno tome mĂĄs medidas para detener al cĂĄrtel y proteger a los ciudadanos.
A woman from Madison, Wisconsin, who fought back against a sextortionist who recorded her on Skype and blackmailed her for years.
Her name is **Madison Conradis**, and she is a former Miss Wisconsin USA contestant and a TV hostÂł.
Conradis hired a professional photographer in 2011 to take some photos for her modeling portfolio.
Some of the photos were proofs that were not chosen because they were too revealing.
The photographer uploaded them to a password-protected online gallery,
but someone hacked the gallery and stole the photosÂł.
In 2014, Conradis received a message on Facebook from a stranger who claimed to have her photos
and threatened to expose them to her family, friends, and employer unless she paid him $1,000.
Conradis ignored the message, thinking it was a scam,
but the blackmailer persisted and sent her more messages with screenshots of her photos and personal informationÂł.
Conradis reported the blackmailer to the police,
but they told her there was nothing they could do and that she should just pay him.
Conradis refused to pay, and the blackmailer escalated his threats.
He asked her to perform sexual acts on Skype, and recorded her without her consent.
He then used the videos to blackmail her for more money and sex, threatening to post them online or kill her familyÂł.
Conradis decided to take matters into her own hands and started to investigate the blackmailer's identity.
She used various online tools and techniques to trace his IP address, email, phone number, and social media accounts.
She discovered that he was a 25-year-old man from Chicago
named **Anthony Zampino**, who had a criminal record and a history of sextorting other womenÂł.
Conradis contacted the FBI and provided them with the evidence she collected.
The FBI launched an investigation and arrested Zampino in 2021.
He was charged with cyberstalking, extortion, and child pornography, and faced up to 30 years in prisonÂł.
Conradis's story is an example of how sextortion victims can fight back against their perpetrators and seek justice.
However, not all victims have the resources, skills, or courage to do what Conradis did.
Sextortion is a serious crime that can have devastating effects on the victims' mental health, self-esteem, and safety.
The FBI and other law enforcement agencies have been trying to address this issue by raising awareness,
providing support, and prosecuting the perpetrators.
However, the challenges of combating sextortion remain, such as the lack of reporting,
the difficulty of tracing the online activity, and the complexity of the legal framework.
Una mujer de Madison, Wisconsin, que luchĂł contra un sextorsionista que la grabĂł en Skype y la chantajeĂł durante aĂąos.
Su nombre es **Madison Conradis**, y es una ex concursante de Miss Wisconsin USA y presentadora de televisiĂłnÂł.
Conradis contratĂł a un fotĂłgrafo profesional en 2011 para que tomara algunas fotos para su portafolio de modelaje.
Algunas de las fotos eran pruebas que no fueron elegidas porque eran demasiado reveladoras.
El fotĂłgrafo las subiĂł a una galerĂa en lĂnea protegida con contraseĂąa,
pero alguien hackeĂł la galerĂa y robĂł las fotosÂł.
En 2014, Conradis recibiĂł un mensaje en Facebook de un extraĂąo que decĂa tener sus fotos
y amenazaba con exponerlas a su familia, amigos y empleador a menos que le pagara $1,000.
Conradis ignorĂł el mensaje, pensando que era una estafa,
pero el chantajista insistiĂł y le enviĂł mĂĄs mensajes con capturas de pantalla de sus fotos e informaciĂłn personalÂł.
Conradis denunciĂł al chantajista a la policĂa,
pero le dijeron que no podĂan hacer nada y que simplemente debĂa pagarle.
Conradis se negĂł a pagar y el chantajista aumentĂł sus amenazas.
Le pidiĂł que realizara actos sexuales por Skype y la grabĂł sin su consentimiento.
Luego usĂł los videos para chantajearla para obtener mĂĄs dinero y sexo, amenazĂĄndola con publicarlos en lĂnea o matar a su familiaÂł.
Conradis decidiĂł tomar el asunto en sus propias manos y comenzĂł a investigar la identidad del chantajista.
UsĂł varias herramientas y tĂŠcnicas en lĂnea para rastrear su direcciĂłn IP, correo electrĂłnico, nĂşmero de telĂŠfono y cuentas de redes sociales.
DescubriĂł que era un hombre de 25 aĂąos de Chicago
llamado **Anthony Zampino**, que tenĂa antecedentes penales y un historial de sextorsionismo con otras mujeresÂł.
Conradis se puso en contacto con el FBI y les proporcionĂł la evidencia que recopilĂł. El FBI iniciĂł una investigaciĂłn y arrestĂł a Zampino en 2021.
Fue acusado de acoso cibernĂŠtico, extorsiĂłn y pornografĂa infantil, y enfrentaba hasta 30 aĂąos de prisiĂłnÂł.
La historia de Conradis es un ejemplo de cĂłmo las vĂctimas de sextorsiĂłn pueden luchar contra sus perpetradores y buscar justicia.
Sin embargo, no todas las vĂctimas tienen los recursos, las habilidades o el coraje para hacer lo que hizo Conradis.
La sextorsiĂłn es un delito grave que puede tener efectos devastadores en la salud mental, la autoestima y la seguridad de las vĂctimas.
El FBI y otras agencias de aplicaciĂłn de la ley han estado tratando de abordar este problema creando conciencia,
brindando apoyo y procesando a los perpetradores.
Sin embargo, los desafĂos de combatir la sextorsiĂłn siguen existiendo, como la falta de denuncia,
la dificultad de rastrear la actividad en lĂnea y la complejidad del marco legal.
- Sextortion is a form of sexual exploitation that involves blackmailing someone with intimate images or videos,
or threatening to expose them online or to their contacts, unless they comply with the perpetratorâs demandsš.
- According to a 2019 report by the Mexican NGO Luchadoras, Mexico at least 10,000 women and girls are victims of sextortion in Mexico every year².
- Sextortion is a crime in Mexico, punishable by up to six years in prison, but it is rarely reported or prosecuted due to fear, shame, stigma, and lack of trust in the authorities²³.
Many victims do not know their rights or how to seek help, and some are even blamed or revictimized by the police or the judiciary²³.
- Some initiatives have been launched to fight sextortion and support the victims in Mexico, such as the campaign #NoTeCalles (Donât Stay Silent),
which provides legal and psychological assistance, as well as a hotline and a chatbot to report cases and receive guidanceâ´âľ.
Another example is the project #NoSoyTuPorno (Iâm Not Your Porn), which aims to raise awareness and educate young people about the risks and consequences of sextortion .
- La sextorsiĂłn es una forma de explotaciĂłn sexual que consiste en chantajear a alguien con imĂĄgenes o vĂdeos Ăntimos,
o amenazar con exponerlo en lĂnea o a sus contactos, a menos que cumpla con las exigencias del agresorš.
- SegĂşn un informe de 2019 de la ONG mexicana Luchadoras, al menos 10.000 mujeres y niĂąas son vĂctimas de sextorsiĂłn en MĂŠxico cada aĂąo².
- La sextorsión es un delito en MÊxico, punible con hasta seis aùos de prisión, pero rara vez se denuncia o se procesa debido al miedo, la vergßenza, el estigma y la falta de confianza en las autoridades²³.
Muchas vĂctimas no conocen sus derechos ni cĂłmo buscar ayuda, y algunas incluso son culpadas o revictimizadas por la policĂa o el poder judicial²³.
- Se han puesto en marcha algunas iniciativas para luchar contra la sextorsiĂłn y apoyar a las vĂctimas en MĂŠxico, como la campaĂąa #NoTeCalles,
que ofrece asistencia jurĂdica y psicolĂłgica, asĂ como una lĂnea telefĂłnica y un chatbot para denunciar casos y recibir orientaciĂłnâ´âľ.
Otro ejemplo es el proyecto #NoSoyTuPorno, que pretende concienciar y educar a los jĂłvenes sobre los riesgos y las consecuencias de la sextorsiĂłn.
- Wisconsin is one of the states that has deployed police officers to the southern border in response to a request from the governors of Texas and Arizona,
who claim that the Biden administration has failed to secure the border and stop illegal immigrationš².
- Wisconsin law enforcement officers are expected to assist with drug interdiction investigations, vehicle maintenance, and highway patrol support in border states².
- Border security, migration governance, and sovereignty are complex and interrelated issues that involve multiple actors, policies, and legal frameworks at the national, regional, and international levelsâľ.
- Wisconsin es uno de los estados que ha desplegado agentes de policĂa en la frontera sur en respuesta a una solicitud de los gobernadores de Texas y Arizona,
quienes afirman que la administración Biden no ha logrado asegurar la frontera ni detener la inmigración ilegalš².
- Se espera que los agentes de policĂa de Wisconsin ayuden con las investigaciones de interdicciĂłn de drogas, el mantenimiento de vehĂculos y el apoyo a las patrullas de carreteras en los estados fronterizos².
- La seguridad fronteriza, la gobernanza de la migraciĂłn y la soberanĂa son cuestiones complejas e interrelacionadas que involucran a mĂşltiples actores, polĂticas y marcos legales a nivel nacional, regional e internacionalâľ.
La ConstituciĂłn de los Estados Unidos que establece que el gobierno federal debe proteger a cada estado contra invasiones es el **ArtĂculo IV, SecciĂłn 4**š²³â´.
Algunos estados han invocado esta disposiciĂłn para argumentar que el gobierno federal no estĂĄ cumpliendo con su deber constitucional
de proteger la frontera sur de la inmigración ilegal y el tråfico de drogas²³.

HSI New England Investigation with CCHT Assistance Results in Conviction for Sex Trafficking, Obstruction of Prosecution
An investigation by the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Portland, Maine,
office resulted in theâŻconvictionâŻof a 32-year-old Boston man for sex trafficking of a young woman and obstruction of a sex trafficking prosecution.
In December, Ricardo Middleton was found guilty of sex trafficking a 25-year-old woman and, while detained pending trial, of instructing a co-defendant not to incriminate him.
Middleton targeted a 25-year-old woman with a heroin addiction who was living in South Portland, Maine,
compelling her to engage in commercial sex using drugs, lies, intimidation, physical violence, and rape as means to control her.
In November 2015, Middleton and co-defendants Sherry Jones and Mathew Thatcher transported the victim to several locations in Maine and Massachusetts.
Along the way, Middleton berated the victim, slapping and punching her, and throwing pennies at her when she asked to buy food.
The victim testified to how the defendant raped her and told her that he was âgoing to make a lot of money offâ her.
âMiddleton and his collaborators treated their victims like property,
exploiting their addiction and using horrific violence to ensure compliance.
He further attempted to silence those who were prepared to testify against him, but after todayâs guilty verdict,
Middleton is facing a significant sentence in federal prison, far away from those heâs victimized,â
said Special Agent in Charge Michael J. Krol of the HSI New England Field Office.
âI want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the survivor who made her voice heard, reliving what were surely some of the most terrifying moments of her life.
HSI will never cease in its mission to investigate human traffickers and help survivors find the support they deserve to begin a new life with dignity.â
The HSI New England Field Office, Office of the Portland Resident Agent in Charge investigated the case,
with assistance from the Biddeford, Portland, South Portland, Topsham, and Saco, Maine Police Departments.
The DHS Center for Countering Human Trafficking provided support for the investigation.
Prior to the defendantâs trial, Jones pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, and Thatcher pleaded guilty to interstate travel in aid of racketeering.
All three defendants will be sentenced at a later date. Middleton faces a mandatory minimum penalty of 15 years and a maximum penalty of life in prison.

Una investigaciĂłn de HSI en Nueva Inglaterra con la asistencia de CCHT resulta en una condena por trĂĄfico sexual y obstrucciĂłn del procesamiento
Una investigaciĂłn de la oficina de Investigaciones de Seguridad Nacional (HSI) en Portland, Maine,
resultĂł en la condena de un hombre de 32 aĂąos de Boston por trĂĄfico sexual de una mujer joven y obstrucciĂłn de un procesamiento por trĂĄfico sexual.
En diciembre, Ricardo Middleton fue declarado culpable de trĂĄfico sexual de una mujer de 25 aĂąos y,
mientras estaba detenido en espera de juicio, de ordenar a un coacusado que no lo incriminara.
Middleton atacĂł a una mujer de 25 aĂąos con adicciĂłn a la heroĂna que vivĂa en South Portland, Maine,
obligĂĄndola a participar en sexo comercial utilizando drogas, mentiras, intimidaciĂłn, violencia fĂsica y violaciĂłn como medios para controlarla.
En noviembre de 2015, Middleton y sus coacusados ââSherry Jones y Mathew Thatcher transportaron a la vĂctima a varios lugares de Maine y Massachusetts.
En el camino, Middleton reprendiĂł a la vĂctima, la abofeteĂł y la golpeĂł, y le arrojĂł monedas cuando ella le pidiĂł que comprara comida.
La vĂctima testificĂł cĂłmo el acusado la violĂł y le dijo que "iba a ganar mucho dinero" con ella.
"Middleton y sus colaboradores trataron a sus vĂctimas como si fueran propiedad,
explotando su adicciĂłn y utilizando una violencia horrible para asegurarse de que obedecieran.
AdemĂĄs, intentĂł silenciar a quienes estaban dispuestos a testificar en su contra, pero despuĂŠs del veredicto de culpabilidad de hoy,
Middleton enfrenta una sentencia significativa en una prisiĂłn federal, lejos de aquellos a quienes ha victimizado",
dijo el agente especial a cargo Michael J. Krol de la Oficina de Campo de HSI en Nueva Inglaterra.
âQuiero expresar mi mĂĄs sincero agradecimiento a la sobreviviente que hizo oĂr su voz, reviviendo lo que seguramente fueron algunos de los momentos mĂĄs aterradores de su vida.
HSI nunca cesarĂĄ en su misiĂłn de investigar a los traficantes de personas y ayudar a los sobrevivientes a encontrar el apoyo que merecen para comenzar una nueva vida con dignidadâ.
La Oficina de Campo de HSI en Nueva Inglaterra, la Oficina del Agente Residente a Cargo de Portland investigĂł el caso,
con la asistencia de los Departamentos de PolicĂa de Biddeford, Portland, South Portland, Topsham y Saco, Maine.
El Centro para la Lucha contra la Trata de Personas del DHS brindĂł apoyo para la investigaciĂłn.
Antes del juicio de los acusados, Jones se declarĂł culpable de conspiraciĂłn para cometer trĂĄfico sexual,
y Thatcher se declarĂł culpable de viajar entre estados para ayudar a la extorsiĂłn.
Los tres acusados ââserĂĄn sentenciados en una fecha posterior.
Middleton enfrenta una pena mĂnima obligatoria de 15 aĂąos y una pena mĂĄxima de cadena perpetua.

CRM 1500-1999
1907. Title 8, U.S.C. 1324(a) Offenses
Title 8, U.S.C. § 1324(a) defines several distinct offenses related to aliens.
Subsection 1324(a)(1)(i)-(v) prohibits alien smuggling, domestic transportation of unauthorized aliens,
concealing or harboring unauthorized aliens, encouraging or inducing unauthorized aliens to enter the United States,
and engaging in a conspiracy or aiding and abetting any of the preceding acts.
Subsection 1324(a)(2) prohibits bringing or attempting to bring unauthorized aliens to the United States in any manner whatsoever,
even at a designated port of entry.
Subsection 1324(a)(3).
Alien Smuggling -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(i) makes it an offense for any person who -- knowing that a person is an alien,
to bring to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever such person at a place other than a designated port of entry or place other than as designated by the Commissioner,
regardless of whether such alien has received prior official authorization to come to, enter,
or reside in the United States and regardless of any future official action which may be taken with respect to such alien.
Domestic Transporting -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii) makes it an offense for any person who -- knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to,
entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, transports, or moves or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise,
in furtherance of such violation of law.
Harboring -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) makes it an offense for any person who -- knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to,
entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law,
conceals harbors, or shields from detection,
or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation.
Encouraging/Inducing -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv) makes it an offense for any person who -- encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States,
knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law.
Conspiracy/Aiding or Abetting -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(v) expressly makes it an offense to engage in a conspiracy to commit or aid or abet the commission of the foregoing offenses.
Bringing Aliens to the United States -- Subsection 1324(a)(2) makes it an offense for any person who -- knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has not received prior authorization to come to,
enter, or reside in the United States, to bring to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever,
such alien, regardless of any official action which may later be taken with respect to such alien.
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), enacted on September 30, 1996,
added a new 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(3)(A) which makes it an offense for any person, during any 12-month period,
to knowingly hire at least 10 individuals with actual knowledge that these individuals are unauthorized aliens.
See this Manual at 1908 (unlawful employment of aliens).
Unit of Prosecution -- With regard to offenses defined in subsections 1324(a)(1)(A)(i)-(v), (alien smuggling, domestic transporting,
harboring, encouraging/inducing, or conspiracy/aiding or abetting) each alien with respect to whom a violation occurs constitutes a unit of prosecution.
Prior to enactment of the IIRIRA, the unit of prosecution for violations of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2) was each transaction, regardless of the number of aliens involved.
However, the unit of prosecution is now based on each alien in respect to whom a violation occurs.
Knowledge -- Prosecutions for alien smuggling, 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(i) require proof that defendant knew that the person brought to the United States was an alien.
With regard to the other violations in 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a), proof of knowledge or reckless disregard of alienage is sufficient.
Penalties -- The basic statutory maximum penalty for violating 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(i) and (v)(I) (alien smuggling and conspiracy) is a fine under title 18,
imprisonment for not more than 10 years, or both.
With regard to violations of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(ii)-(iv) and (v)(ii), domestic transportation, harboring, encouraging/inducing, or aiding/abetting,

La Ley de Reforma de la InmigraciĂłn Ilegal y Responsabilidad de los Inmigrantes (IIRIRA, por sus siglas en inglĂŠs), promulgada el 30 de septiembre de 1996,
agregĂł un nuevo artĂculo 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(3)(A) que tipifica como delito que cualquier persona, durante un perĂodo de 12 meses,
contrate a sabiendas al menos a 10 personas con conocimiento real de que estas personas son extranjeros no autorizados.

albergamiento, estĂmulo/inducciĂłn o conspiraciĂłn/ayuda o instigaciĂłn) cada extranjero con respecto al cual se produce una infracciĂłn constituye una unidad de procesamiento.
Antes de la promulgación de la IIRIRA, la unidad de procesamiento por violaciones de 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2) era cada transacción, independientemente del número de extranjeros involucrados.

a menos que el delito se haya cometido para obtener una ventaja comercial o un beneficio econĂłmico privado, en cuyo caso la pena mĂĄxima de prisiĂłn es de 10 aĂąos.
Ademås, se prevÊn sanciones significativamente mayores en caso de violaciones de 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1) que impliquen lesiones corporales graves o pongan en peligro la vida.

La pena bĂĄsica por una infracciĂłn de la subsecciĂłn 1324(a)(2) es una multa segĂşn el tĂtulo 18,

Why do we send our kids to college? Why do we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a useless degree? Why do we let our children get indoctrinated by those who fundamentally disagree with America's greatness?
In his newest book, The College Scam, Charlie Kirk answers all of these questions and more. Since founding Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk has been the leading voice across American college campuses standing up for conservative students.
We all know that colleges are filled with far-left professors, but the truth is much worse. Anti-American ideals are thriving, progressives repress speech, and brainwashing is the norm. In The College Scam, Charlie Kirk puts the college industry on trial with a ten-count indictment of why academia has lost all credibility.
A must-read for every student, parent, and concerned American citizen!
Psalms 37
1 Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fretâit leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy peace and prosperity.
12 The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.
14 The wicked draw the sword
and bend the bow
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose ways are upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.
16 Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth of many wicked;
17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,
but the Lord upholds the righteous.
18 The blameless spend their days under the Lordâs care,
and their inheritance will endure forever.
19 In times of disaster they will not wither;
in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
20 But the wicked will perish:
Though the Lordâs enemies are like the flowers of the field,
they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.
21 The wicked borrow and do not repay,
but the righteous give generously;
22 those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,
but those he curses will be destroyed.
23 The Lord makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him;
24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
25 I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.
26 They are always generous and lend freely;
their children will be a blessing.
27 Turn from evil and do good;
then you will dwell in the land forever.
28 For the Lord loves the just
and will not forsake his faithful ones.
Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed;
the offspring of the wicked will perish.
29 The righteous will inherit the land
and dwell in it forever.
30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom,
and their tongues speak what is just.
31 The law of their God is in their hearts;
their feet do not slip.
32 The wicked lie in wait for the righteous,
intent on putting them to death;
33 but the Lord will not leave them in the power of the wicked
or let them be condemned when brought to trial.
34 Hope in the Lord
and keep his way.
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.
35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
flourishing like a luxuriant native tree,
36 but he soon passed away and was no more;
though I looked for him, he could not be found.
37 Consider the blameless, observe the upright;
a future awaits those who seek peace.
38 But all sinners will be destroyed;
there will be no future for the wicked.
39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
40 The Lord helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him

Farewell MPD,
I have made the decision to move on. I will start a new chapter at (a suburban) PD beginning in September, so youâll know where to find me if you need me.
Please trust me when I tell you that Iâll always be there, for anyone, just like I was when I was here.
The end of this chapter is bittersweet. Much like so many of you, Iâve poured my heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears into this department for 10 years.
Iâve laughed so hard Iâve cried and Iâve cried so hard it hurt. Itâs not been all good, but not all bad either.
The people of MPD that Iâve had the pleasure to get to know, to become close to, to help through a hard time,
that have helped me through a hard time, have truly been the best part of this experience for me. Please know that you are the heart and soul of this department.
I have been witness to some of the most amazing feats of human perseverance by way of phenomenal police work.
It both humbles and fills me with pride to have worked alongside those of you doing this important work.
I have deep concerns for the future of this department and its ability to retain the most valuable resource it doesnât know it has:
the experienced and proficient officers and immediate supervisors who serve the community every day by responding to calls for service.
You know who you are, you are the ones who do more than just show up.
I know that you do these things while balancing the standards that you hold for yourselves with the expectations placed on you by the department and the community.
You are tasked with providing a high quality of service to the community with respect, dignity and proficiency; core values of this department.
However, more often than not, those same tenets are not afforded to you.
The nature of this job is that you are asked to lay your lives on the line and take significant risks that involve the assertion of lawful authority in the scope of what we have been trained and sworn to do.
In the event that we must take those risks, regardless of the outcome of our mission,
the potential to be put under review or offered discipline is so great that it often overshadows the risk in the first place.
Our experience, our intuition, our intention, our service, our heart is all taken out of the equation so often.
Rather than being valued for the work that we do,
we are treated like a liability by a chiefâs office that has demonstrated that its priority is appeasing a segment of the community that does not support our mission in the first place.
This kind of âleadershipâ does not foster or promote that same respect, dignity, empathy, and kindness that we are expected to demonstrate in our work.
How can our primary focus be on serving and protecting the community,
when we have to be so concerned about protecting ourselves against an administration that does not support or trust the decisions we make while taking these calculated risks.
To those that have been here for a bit, you know it has not always been this way. Weâve seen the good, the bright and the promises often not kept, but that have offered hope.
So as I move down the path, please know that Iâve seen you, Iâve heard you, and Iâve stood beside you, as weâve proudly carried on the legacy of those that came before us.
Keep your heads up. Stay safe. Know that you matter. Shine your light.
-This letter was written by a Madison police officer.
AdiĂłs MPD,
He tomado la decisiĂłn de seguir adelante. ComenzarĂŠ un nuevo capĂtulo en el Departamento de PolicĂa (suburbio) a partir de septiembre, asĂ que sabrĂĄn dĂłnde encontrarme si me necesitan.
Por favor, confĂen en mĂ cuando les digo que siempre estarĂŠ allĂ, para cualquier persona, tal como lo estuve cuando estuve aquĂ.
El final de este capĂtulo es agridulce. Al igual que muchos de ustedes, he puesto mi corazĂłn, alma, sangre, sudor y lĂĄgrimas en este departamento durante 10 aĂąos.
Me he reĂdo tanto que he llorado y he llorado tanto que me ha dolido. No todo ha sido bueno, pero tampoco todo ha sido malo.
La gente del MPD que he tenido el placer de conocer, de hacerme amiga, de ayudar en un momento difĂcil,
que me han ayudado a superar un momento difĂcil, han sido realmente la mejor parte de esta experiencia para mĂ. Sepan que ustedes son el corazĂłn y el alma de este departamento.
He sido testigo de algunas de las hazaĂąas mĂĄs asombrosas de la perseverancia humana a travĂŠs de un trabajo policial fenomenal.
Me llena de humildad y orgullo haber trabajado junto a ustedes que realizan este importante trabajo.
Tengo profundas preocupaciones por el futuro de este departamento y su capacidad de retener el recurso mĂĄs valioso que no sabe que tiene:
los oficiales experimentados y competentes y los supervisores inmediatos que sirven a la comunidad todos los dĂas respondiendo a las llamadas de servicio.
Ustedes saben quiĂŠnes son, son los que hacen mĂĄs que simplemente presentarse.
SĂŠ que hacen estas cosas mientras equilibran los estĂĄndares que tienen para sĂ mismos con las expectativas que el departamento y la comunidad tienen sobre ustedes.
Ustedes tienen la tarea de brindar un servicio de alta calidad a la comunidad con respeto, dignidad y competencia; valores fundamentales de este departamento.
Sin embargo, la mayorĂa de las veces, esos mismos principios no se les otorgan a ustedes.
La naturaleza de este trabajo es que se nos pide que arriesguemos nuestras vidas y asumamos riesgos significativos que implican la afirmaciĂłn de la autoridad legal en el ĂĄmbito de lo que hemos sido entrenados y jurado hacer.
En el caso de que debamos asumir esos riesgos, independientemente del resultado de nuestra misiĂłn,
la posibilidad de que nos pongan bajo revisiĂłn o se nos imponga una sanciĂłn es tan grande que a menudo eclipsa el riesgo en primer lugar.
Nuestra experiencia, nuestra intuiciĂłn, nuestra intenciĂłn, nuestro servicio, nuestro corazĂłn, todo queda fuera de la ecuaciĂłn con mucha frecuencia.
En lugar de ser valorados por el trabajo que hacemos,
somos tratados como una carga por una oficina del jefe que ha demostrado que su prioridad es apaciguar a un segmento de la comunidad que no apoya nuestra misiĂłn en primer lugar.
Este tipo de "liderazgo" no fomenta ni promueve ese mismo respeto, dignidad, empatĂa y amabilidad que se espera que demostremos en nuestro trabajo.
ÂżCĂłmo puede ser que nuestro principal objetivo sea servir y proteger a la comunidad,
cuando tenemos que estar tan preocupados por protegernos a nosotros mismos contra una administraciĂłn que no apoya ni confĂa en las decisiones que tomamos mientras asumimos estos riesgos calculados?
Para aquellos que han estado aquĂ por un tiempo, saben que no siempre ha sido asĂ. Hemos visto lo bueno, lo brillante y las promesas que a menudo no se cumplen, pero que han ofrecido esperanza.
AsĂ que, a medida que sigo por el camino, sepan que los he visto, los he escuchado y he estado a su lado, mientras continuamos con orgullo el legado de quienes vinieron antes que nosotros.
Mantengan la cabeza en alto. MantĂŠnganse a salvo. Sepan que son importantes. Hagan brillar su luz.
