So police in Aurora, Colorado arrested 14 suspects in an early morning raid on Tuesday. The suspects are a mix of men and women, but mostly men, and police say they are very likely tied to the Venezuelan gang at Tren de Aragua. According to police, the suspects broke into an apartment at the Edge at Lowry apartment building in Aurora.

That's an apartment already notorious for Tren de Aragua activity. Police said the suspects broke in, kidnapped the people living there, and took them to another apartment and tortured them. Here's Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlain explaining what happened during a press conference on Tuesday.

Yeah, authorities say the investigation is underway with help from the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The incoming border czar, Tom Homan, said on Fox News on Wednesday that he wants the suspects eventually handed over to ICE.

Right. Border Patrol this week announced the arrest of an illegal alien from South Africa who is on the U.S. terror watch list. The alien was picked up in New York City, but that was only after he was released into the country by federal authorities. This man was originally detained in Texas by the State Department of Public Safety for trespassing.

Texas turned him over to federal authorities, along with dozens of others, and the feds released him back into the U.S. When it became clear this man had ties to terrorism, that obviously set off alarms and authorities rushed to catch him again. They eventually found him in Brooklyn, but they don't yet know how he got there or how long he'd been in New York.

Officials say these actions could have deadly consequences. Pilots of manned aircraft in the area have already reported having lasers shined in their eyes after being mistaken for drones by those on the ground. The Pentagon and federal agencies say there's no evidence these drones pose a national security threat.

Still, lawmakers are pressing for more transparency to address the public's concerns, as the FBI has logged over 5,000 drone sightings in recent weeks. The FBI's statement, along with yesterday's classified briefing, have done very little to put the public at ease. Here's DOD Press Secretary Major General Patrick Ryder being asked about that.

Yeah, Trump gave his first press conference since he won the 2024 election and chose to directly address a story that was first reported by The Daily Wire, the sell-off of tons of construction materials from the southern border. Here's Trump calling this almost criminal.
