EXCLUSIVE: America First Legal (AFL), a nonprofit, launched investigations into the Biden-Harris administration on Thursday in response to "growing violent illegal alien gang activity" spreading across parts of Colorado and the Midwest.
The investigations were launched by America First Legal into the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The FOIA requests made by America First Legal come on the heels of 10 Tren de Aragua gang members arrested in Aurora, Colorado after surveillance footage from an overtaken apartment building went viral late last month.
AFL referred to the "recklessness" of the Biden-Harris administration's immigration policies in their investigation release, saying "these gang members would not be present if we had a secure southern border."
"The Biden-Harris administration’s deliberate decision to open our borders to the world is what allowed for violent Venezuelan gangs to run rampant in American communities, said Gene Hamilton, America First Legal Executive Director.
"The crimes committed by these aliens are—by definition—preventable, but this administration has decided to ignore public safety and prioritize the importation of hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens."
The transnational prison gang Tren de Aragua, based in Venezuela, has been linked to human trafficking, illegal drug trafficking, and threatening people with guns. The gang reportedly has about 5,000 members.
America First Legal's investigations focus on Aurora, Colorado as well as parts of Illinois and Wisconsin where TdA activity has been documented.
Their Freedom of Information Act requests date back to January 21, 2021, or the first day of office for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Harris, who was originally touted as the Biden administration's "Border Czar," has distanced herself from the role as she stepped into the role of Democrat nominee.
"If Border Czar Harris were serious about eliminating the threat of foreign gang behavior in the United States, she would secure the border and deport illegal aliens from the United States. It’s that simple," said America First Legal Executive Director Gene Hamilton.
In February 2021, Kamala Harris was appointed by Joe Biden to head the "Root Causes Strategy," which she said was poised to address why those in Central American countries have been compelled to flee to the United States. As recently as March of this year, the White House stood by this program and Harris' leadership of it.
