49 extortion incidents since April 2025.
56 charges. 16 accused.
19 shootings -18 allegedly connected to extortion demands.
Fifteen of the sixteen are out on court-ordered conditions.
Fifteen reportedly filed refugee claims after the investigations began.

If the system can be used to delay consequences for years, maybe the biggest loophole isn’t at the border.
Maybe it’s what happens after you get through it.
