‘Biggest Secret In Washington’ – Chief Prosecutor Has New Warning For Americans

Seemingly under the radar, large scale burglaries by previously unknown Chilean gangs are spreading across the United States.

And they tie directly in to the failed border and immigration policies of the Biden regime, and his inept and corrupt DHS!

Authorities unsealed a criminal complaint on Tuesday which revealed a scheme that netted a whopping $2 million in stolen items in the final three months of 2024.

In total, a group of just seven Chilean nationals were charged with burglaries spanning multiple states, and targeting prominent professional athletes — or at least, those are the burglaries making the news.

NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, and NBA stars Bobby Portis Jr. and Luka Doncic have been among those with homes targeted by the gang.

The Homeland Security Visa Waiver Program (yes, a Biden-era program) has allowed these gang-based burglars to cycle through the system, hitting targets in different states.

Check out this report from Fox News with Todd Spitzer, the Chief Prosecutor for Orange County, CA spilling the beans on “the biggest secret in Washington”:

Multiple high-profile athletes’ homes have been tied to this same Chilean burglary gang.

The gang allegedly robbed Mahomes mansion in Belton, MO.

They targeted the home in the middle of the night in October, with Kelce’s home hit the very next night in Kansas City, MO according to a report in the New York Post:

A gang of Chilean nationals has been charged with a string of robberies that stole millions in valuables from “high-profile athletes” across the U.S. — including the homes of Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.

The seven illegal immigrants — Pablo Zuniga Cartes, 24; Ignacio Zuniga Cartes, 20; Bastian Jimenez Freraut, 27; Jordan Quiroga Sanchez, 22; Bastian Orellano Morales, 23; Alexander Huiaguil Chavez, 24, and Sergio Ortega Cabello, 38 — were all charged with conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property, a criminal complaint unsealed in Tampa, Fla., on Tuesday, revealed.

The men are suspected members of a “South American Theft Group” who “targeted high-profile athletes in the National Football League (“NFL”) and National Basketball Association (“NBA”), all of whom were away or playing in professional games at the time of the burglaries,” prosecutors said.

Mahomes had his Belton, Mo., mansion robbed just after midnight on Oct. 6. and Kelce’s home was also broken into in the Kansas City area on Oct. 7, according to Cass County Sheriff’s Office.

The gang is suspected of breaking into the homes while the Chiefs were gearing up to face off against the New Orleans Saints in Kansas City.

The Chilean nationals allegedly made off with “jewelry, watches, cash, and other luxury merchandise” during the Missouri burglaries, prosecutors revealed.

Two weeks later, the illegal immigrants allegedly struck again, but in Tampa.

“On October 21, 2024, the home of a Tampa Bay Buccaneers player was burglarized while the team played in Tampa. Jewelry, designer watches, a luxury suitcase, and a firearm were stolen,” the criminal complaint said.

The Buccaneers were playing the Baltimore Ravens in Tampa around the time of the robbery.

The alleged gangbangers are also linked to a burglary at the home of a Milwaukee Bucks player during a game in Milwaukee on Nov. 2.

“A safe containing several watches, chains, personal items, jewelry, and cash was stolen, along with a designer suitcase and designer bags,” prosecutors said.

“The total value of property stolen was approximately $1.484 million.”

The same group allegedly hit Bengals Quarterback Joe Burrow’s home.

As well as the home of a Memphis Grizzlies player while the team was playing a game.

The burglary gang apparently likes to hit high-profile athletes because they can always be sure when the players aren’t at home — because they’re playing a game on TV!

Check out this news report from Cincinnati’s local CBS affiliate, who initially broke the story of “Chilean tourist burglars” nearly two years ago!

The Chilean nationals are being allowed to visit the U.S. for up to 90 days with a simple $20 online application, and no background check!

Check out this Fox News story from January 22nd detailing the case of Joe Burrows home:

Some Chilean migrants have set up sophisticated burglary crews that use Wifi jammer and GPS tracker and even plant hidden cams to break into homes .

I reported on these crew over a year ago

I’m not sure if this program should be called the Biden Tourist Waiver Program… or the Biden Burglary Waiver Program.

The latter is definitely more descriptive than the first.

Apparently, one of the gang burglars slipped up and made a mistake that allowed FBI special agents to split the case wide open.

The FBI agent discovered that one of the burglars had taken a selfie just after stealing a safe from a Milwaukee Bucks basketball player, according to CNN:

After months of working to bring down the criminals responsible for a string of high-profile burglaries of celebrity athletes’ homes, an FBI special agent working with local police discovered a key piece of evidence that would blow the ring apart: A selfie.

According to an unsealed federal criminal complaint filed against seven Chilean men allegedly involved in the crime spree, investigators used cell phone records, GPS and iCloud data to link the suspects to the theft of almost $3 million in luxury goods from professional athletes later identified as NBA forward Bobby Portis and NFL quarterback Joe Burrow.

But a selfie – believed to have been taken shortly after several of the men allegedly stole a safe from the home of a Milwaukee Bucks basketball player – proved to be the evidence authorities needed to connect the dots.

The burglaries made national headlines last fall after back-to-back break-ins at the homes of Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. The thieves appeared to time the break-ins for when players were away at games, prompting major sporting bodies, like the NFL, NBA and NHL, to warn athletes they could be targeted next.

In addition to league warnings, an alarmed FBI also announced a nationwide crackdown aimed at identifying the perpetrators and bringing them to justice.

Despite national attention, the criminal complaint alleges the suspects continued to stage several more break-ins until investigators uncovered evidence that led to all seven men being charged with federal crimes and accused of operating a criminal ring to sell stolen goods across state lines.

While Orange County Prosecutor Todd Spitzer emphasized the broader implications of what amounts to an “international” burglary ring, I can’t help but recognize the individual targeting of those who have fallen prey to this gang of thieves.

And this is ongoing!  The system that the Biden Department of Homeland Security put in place is still operational, even though the Chilean side is not keeping up their end of the bargain.

With the current threat level in mind and skyrocketing violent crime in the US, now is not the time to “fix” that program — now is the time to cut it out completely.

Regardless of where these non-citizen foreign nationals are coming from, now is the time to shut down the border and halt the influx of foreigners until a legitimate overhaul can be done to our visa system to allow us proper vetting of EVERYONE coming into the country.

As far as can be ascertained, these stories only amount to very high dollar burglaries… so far.

But how long will it be before someone slips up and attempts to burglarize a high-dollar home while somebody’s wife, girlfriend, kids, or elderly parents are home?

And these Chilean gang members coming here specifically to steal — they aren’t ONLY targeting the homes of famous athletes.  Those are just the stories that have made it into the news!

Enough is enough — this Biden loophole needs to be shut down with all the rest of it, at least until we get a handle on who all is coming into our country!
