These criminals use advanced \u2062tactics, such as surveillance, disabling alarm systems, and even blocking Wi-Fi connections too commit \u2062the thefts, capitalizing on \u200cthe predictable travel schedules of their victims. Notable athletes, including\u2064 Kansas City Chiefs players \u2064Patrick mahomes and Travis\u200d kelce, as well as NBA star Luka Doncic, have \u200creportedly fallen victim to these\u200d burglaries. The article reflects on the media&#8217;s previous dismissal\u2064 of claims regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/illegal-immigrants-guilty-of-dui-assault-will-not-be-deported-under-biden-plan\/\" title=\"Illegal Immigrants Guilty of DUI, Assault Will Not Be Deported Under Biden Plan\">gang activity<\/a>, particularly in light \u2062of rising\u2064 crime,\u200b and suggests that \u200cthe\u200b ongoing\u2063 issues emphasize a broader narrative about \u2064safety and immigration policy under the current governance. The writer notes a shift in public \u200dperception,\u200d particularly among athletes who\u2064 might resonate with the sentiments expressed\u200d by\u2064 Donald Trump \u2062regarding crime and safety.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>If this story confuses readers as much as it confused me, then we all should be forgiven.<\/p>\n<p>After all, establishment figures and their media allies reliably <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-aurora-colorado-venezuelan-gang-claims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">informed<\/a> us that during the 2024 presidential campaign then-candidate Donald Trump had wildly exaggerated tales of marauding South American gangs in Aurora, Colorado, and elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/fbi-issues-warning-burglaries-pro-athletes-homes\/story?id=117197676\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABC News<\/a> reported that the FBI has alerted professional sports leagues to a pattern of well-coordinated robberies carried out by South American criminals who have targeted high-profile athletes.<\/p>\n<p>The criminals have used elaborate planning, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/upload-season-2-reveals-why-seeking-digital-immortality-will-leave-people-lonely-and-miserable\/\" title=\"\u2018Upload\u2019 Season 2 Reveals Why Seeking Digital Immortality Will Leave People Lonely And Miserable\">including surveillance<\/a>, to burglarize athletes&rsquo; homes.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;These <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">preparation tactics enable theft groups<\/a> to conduct burglaries in a short amount of time.

Establishment figures and their media supporters consistently claimed that during the 2024 presidential campaign, then-candidate Donald Trump exaggerated stories about South American gangs causing chaos in Aurora, Colorado, and beyond. However, on Monday, ABC News reported that the FBI has warned professional sports leagues about a series of coordinated robberies executed by South American criminals targeting high-profile athletes. These criminals have meticulously planned their actions, including surveillance of athletes&#8217; homes. According to an FBI Liaison Information Report obtained by ABC News, &#8220;These preparation tactics allow theft groups to carry out burglaries quickly.&#8221; Organized crime groups are bypassing alarm systems using Wi-Fi jammers to disrupt connections and disable devices while also covering security cameras and concealing their identities.<\/p>\n<p>Athletes\u2019 homes have become easy targets due in part to their predictable travel schedules. Astonishingly, from September to November, &#8220;organized theft groups reportedly burglarized the residences of at least nine professional athletes,&#8221; according to the FBI report. Victims included Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce as well as Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow\u2014who is a candidate for MVP in 2024\u2014and several NBA players like Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, these South American gangs have audaciously broken into the homes of some of America\u2019s most famous athletes. Fortunately for them, these crimes occurred when the athletes and their families were away from home. The report noted that while many burglaries happen when homes are empty, some occur with residents present; in such cases individuals are advised to contact law enforcement rather than confront armed criminals directly.<\/p>\n<p>Recall that reports surfaced in August regarding a violent South American gang called Tren de Aragua taking control of apartment complexes in Aurora\u2014a situation Trump highlighted multiple times. Liberals often dismissed Trump&#8217;s concerns as falsehoods; however subsequent events proved them wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Now president-elect Trump has a mandate from voters advocating for the arrest and deportation of illegal immigrants including criminal gang members\u2014possibly explaining why many athletes expressed relief following his election victory. After all, skilled South American criminals have shown that wealth does not protect these athletes from issues stemming from President Joe Biden&#8217;s open border policies.<\/p>\n<p>At least this time around the FBI has been truthful; perhaps soon establishment media will follow suit given such high-profile victims involved<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2385195,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BreakIns.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[5591,47688,47687],"class_list":["post-2385194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-fbi","tag-professional-athletes","tag-south-american-gangs"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BreakIns.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2385194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2385194"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2385194\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2385198,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2385194\/revisions\/2385198"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2385195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2385194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2385194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2385194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
