30JUN24- "The United States is tracking the dangerous Tren de Aragua gang, of Venezuelan origin, but which has spread throughout the region, including Ecuador. A report by the Fox News network includes the statement of an officer from the New York Police Department, Jason Savino, who states that members of the Aragua Train have infiltrated the city and the United States for two years. In front of a television, Savino shows the journalist a video of members of the Venezuelan gang displaying their weapons and making signs referring to the gang.

And the 'curious' thing about the video is that the New York police suspect that it was recorded in a neighborhood in Ecuador, when the criminal group was 'recruiting' members. "Then when we fast forward the images, you see the same individuals in Times Square (New York) and that is our concern," Savino said. New York police reported that the Aragua Train has infiltrated the United States through the flow of migrants arriving across the border with Mexico. The gang has mutated from common robberies in stores and jewelry stores, according to the police in this American city, to more serious crimes such as shooting at uniformed officers.

This was the case of a recently detained member of the gang, Bernardo Mata, a 19-year-old young man, who entered through the border between Mexico and the United States. Mata is on trial for shooting two police officers, who are still recovering in the hospital, after being arrested for riding a motorcycle without a helmet on a Queens street. At his arraignment hearing, Mata also confessed that the weapons used by members of the Aragua Train enter the city through migrant shelters.

New York, being classified as a sanctuary city, does not expel migrants who arrive, but rather places them in shelters until they can regularize their status. To these sites, weapons are trafficked in packages of food, which are not searched upon entry. As if that were not enough, police officer Savino warns of the discovery of a 'new' drug called 'Tusi' or pink cocaine, which would be linked to the appearance of the Aragua Train in New York. "This is one of the biggest challenges we have faced," Savino added......" -

(there will be no significant improvement in Ecu until this addressed and resolved once and for all, very similar issues up NA way too, Ecu mini state likes to monkey see monkey doo big brother brothel USSA in so many ways:) 03DEC25- #Ecuador ⚖ 'Life imprisonment! For corrupt judges & lawyers- "...So, let's use the same logic with my "buddies." If as a lawyer you are found guilty of having bribed a judge or prosecutor or you are that judge or prosecutor bribed, it is impossible for us to think that it is coherent that we can once again entrust them with their participation in the system of administration of justice.

A corrupt judge, lawyer or prosecutor must be banned for life from practicing the profession. Let them go out to sweep streets or pass cafes, but in this profession they cannot participate again. Because without Justice there is no State and they have made sure that Ecuador is a failed State.

But I am more radical: I propose that the perpetual inability to practice the profession ...

"There is an agreement between the US and Ecuador on reciprocal tariffs, driven by President Donald Trump and President Noboa.

The United States announced the elimination of reciprocal tariffs for certain Ecuadorian exports, following the conclusion of a new agreement promoted by President Donald Trump and President Daniel Noboa.

The understanding incorporates chapters of trade, work, environment and security, with the aim of providing greater competitiveness and relief to the export sector of Ecuador.

The Minister of Production and Foreign Trade, Luis Jaramillo, stressed that this framework "will lay the foundations of trade, economic and national security relations", emphasizing that the agreement marks a decisive step to deepen cooperation between the two countries.

According to the Ecuadorian Government, the measure will allow to expand opportunities for domestic products and strengthen the bilateral agenda in strategic areas for development and security." -
