We will act decisively to protect that trust.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, released a video Friday accusing Cordero of subverting the White House&rsquo;s immigration agenda and suggested some of the individuals he helped may not even be eligible for entry into the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;When you sell out our country, and when you do it with a badge, you need to remember that we are going to find you and don&rsquo;t think that if you&rsquo;re outside the continental United States that we&rsquo;re not going to know what you&rsquo;re doing,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Calls to Cordero and an  to a public defender who represented him at his initial appearance last week were not returned. He was released on a personal recognizance bond and is scheduled to next appear in court on March 6.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, which charges Cordero with bribery and visa fraud, Homeland Security Investigations agents first caught wind of the agent&rsquo;s alleged misconduct through a former embassy employee who worked in a visa consulting business. In 2024, the former embassy employee was approached by a local music promoter, who provided Cordero&rsquo;s  address, boasting that the &ldquo;connection&rdquo; inside the embassy could reduce wait times for a visa appointment to as little as two weeks. The price for jumping the line: $10,000, the bulk to be paid after the consular interview.<\/p>\n<p>The music promoter is not identified by name in the complaint and is described only as a &ldquo;known promoter and talent agent of music in the Dominican Republic&rdquo; who had worked legitimately with the former embassy employee in the past to secure visas for several clients.<\/p>\n<p>In December, investigators developed a sting relying on a a second confidential source who filed a visa application and waited. Screenshots of messages over WhatsApp show the promoter forwarded a passport photo to a contact saved as &ldquo;Milito Clara&rdquo; and bearing a number investigators say was tied to Cordero&rsquo;s embassy phone.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, when Cordero returned to the island after Christmas break, he submitted an official visa referral under another DEA agent&rsquo;s name, describing the applicant as a &ldquo;valued contact&rdquo; who assisted U.S. drug-trafficking investigations &mdash; claims the source told investigators were completely fabricated.<\/p>\n<p>Days later, Cordero instructed the applicant to commit to a fake backstory about how they had met at a club and he was sometimes paid $400 in tips for sharing information with the DEA.<\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 27, the undercover source, working at the direction of law enforcement, was told to bring the remaining $7,000 to the parking lot of a supermarket in Santo Domingo. Surveillance teams watched as a black Toyota Prado pulled in. The source climbed into the passenger seat with a red shopping bag full of bills. Moments later, he stepped out with his passport, now containing a freshly issued U.S. visa.<\/p>\n<p>Cordero never exited the SUV, according to the affidavit signed by HSI investigator Robert Tansey, but embassy security cameras captured him leaving the compound in the same Toyota Prado just before the meeting. The source later identified Cordero in a photo lineup.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash;<\/p>\n<p><em>Mustian reported from New Orleans.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Western Journal has not reviewed this Associated Press story prior to publication.

For about $10,000 in cash, applicants could get a U.S. visa appointment at the U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic in roughly two weeks. A longtime DEA supervisor in the Dominican Republic, Meliton Cordero, allegedly used his position to push these visa referrals forward, claiming the applicants were valuable law-enforcement sources\u2014often without meeting them.
