The FBI and Florida law enforcement raided two hotel rooms in Orlando on Saturday, arresting Janaina Toledo, 32, and Leonardo Corona Ramos, 42, both Brazilian nationals accused of operating as part of the violent Tren de Aragua criminal network. The two are facing federal charges for underage trafficking and conspiring to carry out a terrorist attack against Chabad South Orlando.
The arrests were triggered by intelligence obtained by Project Veritas, which uncovered communications and financial links tying Toledo and Ramos to Tren de Aragua. Investigators believe the pair had been involved in recruiting and exploiting minors, while simultaneously plotting an attack that law enforcement sources describe as “specific and imminent.”
The couple, who entered the U.S. illegally, had allegedly conducted surveillance of Chabad South Orlando in recent weeks. Federal agents say they were in the “planning stages” of an assault on the shul and its adjoining school, though the details of the plot remain unclear.

Tren de Aragua, a criminal organization that originated in Venezuela, has expanded across South and Central America, gaining a reputation for brutality and deep involvement in human and drug trafficking. The group has been linked to kidnappings, contract killings, and extortion schemes, often targeting vulnerable migrants. Law enforcement sources believe the syndicate has begun extending its operations into the United States, using illegal migration as a cover for infiltration.
During today’s raid, FBI agents and local SWAT teams reportedly seized electronic devices, encrypted communication equipment, and multiple forms of identification from the suspects’ hotel room.

Why would some Brazilians (Portuguese speakers) be working for a Venezuelan gang, and why would they be attacking Chabad? Is someone (e.g. Hamas, Iran) hiring them? Any why would a gang whose main interest is making money be attacking a Chabad house (thieves are usually attracted to places with lots to steal).
There seems to be a lot “wrong” or “missing” in this account, suggesting we should take it with a grain of salt.
What a disgusting pair!
I’m so glad they were caught.
This story appears awfully strange. There is no coverage of it outside of frum media and project veritas. It is well established that project veritas is a fraud so it would be worthwhile to check sources and take this all with a grain of salt. (We must be on guard against MAGA agitators seeking to label foreigners as Tren gang members, pedophiles, dog eaters etc).
The crazy one claims: “It is well established that project veritas is a fraud”. No, it is NOT “well-established”. It’s an absolute LIE. YOU are the only fraud here. Project Veritas has a long and distinguished history of investigative journalism, and revealing the honest plain truth. Unlike ANY other investigative journalists they make their raw footage available so anyone can verify for himself that their editing is not in any way misleading or dishonest. Other journalists expect you to just trust their editing, and you never question them. The one outfit that is completely transparent is the one you attack, because you, like all Democrats, have no morals or ethics or even basic common decency. A Democrat cannot be a good Jew or a good person.
Dear akuperma, lots of Brazilians work for Paraguayan gangs, Bolivian gangs, Colombian gangs, Mexican gangs, and also for Venezuelan gang,especially for Tren de Aragua. Our Federal Police has frequently been called to receive these shameful citizens of our country on our border checkpoints or in airports (when Mexican authorities send them from Mexico). Language has never been a problem for us, Brazilian Portuguese speakers when dealing with our Spanish-speaking neighbors because we can easily understand Spanish (although they have difficulty to understand our Brazilian Portuguese as our language has many more words than Spanish). If you do not know, most Latin-American criminal gangs were born from the contacts between common criminals and Marxist guerrilla fighters/terrorists during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, and, because of that, they have made long-standing alliances with the Latin-American far left since then. Tren de Aragua owes its existence and power to the governments of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro as well as Comando Vermelho (Red Command) and Primeiro Comando da Capital (Capital’s First Command) owe their existence and current power in Brazil, South America, the U.S., and Europe to their political ties to Fernando Cardoso, Dilma Rousseff, and Lula. Everyone in Brazil knows it. Considering the historical ties among Latin-American far left and Hezbollah, Hamas, PLO/Al-Fatah, and Islamic Jihad, and the money-laundering liaisons between these terrorist groups and Latin-American larger gangs (as well as weapons smuggling deals), and also considering the hate against Israel and the U.S. they all share (suffice it to remember Lula’s many virulent statements against Israel), it is no surprise two Brazilians hired by Tren de Aragua to carry out human trafficking into the U.S. would also happily accept an assignment to bomb a Jewish synagogue, especially an orthodox one.

ADDITIONAL INFO: The contacts between common criminals and Marxist guerrilla fighters/terrorists during the 1970s, the 1980s, and the 1990s, in many Latin-American countries happened INSIDE PRISONS as the governments at that time made the stupid mistake to put all of them together in the same prison cells thinking the common criminals would harass, mistreat, torture or even kill the flamboyant upper middle class Marxist intellectuals who composed most of the guerrilla/terrorist groups in those times.
