BREAKING: Hundreds of sensitive U.S. records obtained by WIRED undercut the Trump administration’s claims portraying Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua as a unified terrorist force invading the country. Intelligence agencies spent much of 2025 unsure TdA even functioned as an organization on U.S. soil.
Trump Warned of a Tren de Aragua ‘Invasion.’ US Intel Told a Different Story
Hundreds of records obtained by WIRED show thin intelligence on the Venezuelan gang in the United States, describing fragmented, low-level crime rather than a coordinated terrorist threat.

It’s -2000 degrees below zero. You just flashbanged yourself twenty feet from the front desk. Three hours sleep cause locals who hate you bang garbage cans outside your room all night. The Home2Suits has fallen and you’re not getting that signing bonus for another 4.5 years. Ass. It’s all ass, dude.

Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.

After FPS agents went into the hotel, shot teargas and kinetic munitions into the crowd assembled outside he wanted to know where the PD is to the press. I asked if he has a message for the community members that wanted out. No response. None to the mayor either.

Minneapolis, MN (going backwards a bit. My camera isn’t frozen shut anymore yay!)

The FPS agent pointing a “less lethal” launcher that responded first had visible injuries; trying to look through my footage but blood visible in face and hand.

This livestream has the whole thing. Dude must have cut his hand throwing a smoke bomb because he's bleeding everywhere. They all come waddling up on the crowd and start tossing OC/smoke canisters before he shoots some random guy with a beanbag for nothing.

“He’s killing us in the streets and we still have to pay our taxes in April” is an incredibly compelling point.
Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.

I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

Federal officers just came in and cleared the protest with tear gas. One officer asked press why we didn’t call 911 when the protesters were destroying the hotel and told us that we are bad Americans. Full video to come on @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

Greetings! I’m at the Home2Suites in Minneapolis. A noise demonstration against ICE is underway; the lobby has been trashed and there are broken windows. An MPD officer is in front of the hotel. I can’t independently verify ICE agents are at the hotel.

Pam Bondi's U.S. Department of Justice wasn't given the go-ahead it needed to arrest some demonstrators and journalists over the St. Paul church disruption. So it decided to turn the screws on the judges. New from me.
Feds: find us that probable cause, and make it snappy
Judges not giving you the go-ahead to arrest someone? Turn the screws on them.

“de-escalate tensions” is a phrase institutions use to normalize existing power arrangements by pretending they’re concerned about public safety.
More profiles in cowardice:
Target, Best Buy, General Mills, Cargill and roughly four dozen other large MN companies issued a public letter calling for an “immediate de-escalation of tensions” in the state. Stops short of condemning the killings or who is responsible for them.

Among them Target, which paid Trump's inaugural team a million dollar bribe before walking back commitments to Black-owned business partners.
