In a report exclusively reviewed by Breitbart Texas, human intelligence developed by front-line Border Patrol agents reveals the possibility of a formal covert operation being conducted by the Maduro regime. The operation aims to use released prisoners to infiltrate the United States and work with Venezuelan intelligence to “neutralize” human targets in the United States.
The report, prepared by the Rio Grande Valley Regional Intelligence Unit (SIU), states that inmates released from Venezuelan prisons are being used by Venezuelan intelligence agents to track former Venezuelan military personnel, politicians, and law enforcement. This indicates that he was instructed to travel to the United States with a member of staff. “Neutralize” officials in the United States. The motive, the report said, was to prevent the release of sensitive information that Venezuelan officials may have.
Breitbart Texas received the report from a source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) who was not authorized to speak to the media. This report, known as a Field Intelligence Report (FIR), is typically prepared and distributed by a government agency's intelligence division. Reports are created when we receive information from various sources that criminal activity is occurring, may occur, or requires further investigation.
Sources of information relied upon to complete the report include interviews with criminal suspects and other parties involved. The report published in Breitbart Texas includes information provided by Venezuelan intelligence sources, including details about the Maduro operation.
Officials say the FIR is preliminary and has not been fully investigated.
“This is not the first report we have produced related to prison releases in Venezuela from the sources we spoke to,” the official explained. “This is concerning given that a new government will be inaugurated in January.”
The roughly 600,000 Venezuelans who entered the United States under the Biden-Harris administration could soon be brought back before CBP and ICE officials if the mass deportation plan goes through, the official said. The Venezuelan government has good reason to believe that.
“The timing of this report raises further questions, as the Maduro regime may be concerned that some Venezuelans may exchange information to avoid expulsion,” the official said. emphasized. “It's certainly worth further investigation.”
The issue of the Maduro regime's release of prisoners and deportation to the United States has been touched upon and criticized by President-elect Donald Trump.
The information President Trump relied on was based on an exclusive September 2022 report by Breitbart Texas. At the time, Breitbart Texas received an intelligence report prepared by the Border Patrol that warned officials to be wary of released inmates from Venezuelan prisons entering the United States. The report suggested that Venezuela's Maduro regime intentionally released prisoners, including those convicted of murder, rape, and extortion. The report does not mention the deployment of government intelligence or counterintelligence agencies.
The Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN), Venezuela's equivalent of the CIA, may be involved in a conspiracy to silence or protect the interests of the Maduro regime. It is further heightened by past use of the organization. country.
According to the United Nations report In 2022, SEBIN operatives were used to commit crimes against the population in order to suppress opposition.
“Our research and analysis shows that the Venezuelan state relies on intelligence services and their agents to repress domestic opposition, including serious crimes such as torture and sexual violence. Human rights violations are taking place. These practices must be stopped immediately and those responsible investigated and prosecuted according to the law,” said Marta Valinhas, Chair of the UN Fact-Finding Commission on the issue.
