Border crisis shifts to Caribbean: Homeland Security fights silent war in Puerto Rico
Encompassed in vibrantly-hued cerulean water with sandy beaches drying up to a tropical coast with year-round sunshine and ocean breeze swaying palm trees lies the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, where Homeland Security wages the border crackdown that doesn't make any headlines. "We received new enhancements when the big beautiful bill was approved. And we're looking forward to bring additional resources to just work everything," Rebecca González-Ramos, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, told Fox News Digital. "The smuggling loads have gone down drastically since President Trump took over, and we're being stronger [with] immigration enforcement in the island," she continued, before citing that new funding has allowed the HSI to address a previously "high vacancy rate" through various recruitment initiatives. "We don't only work immigration enforcement, but we also investigate transnational organizations that are behind narcotic smuggling and human smuggling, and money laundering," González-Ramos, who made history as the first Puerto Rican woman selected as agent in charge to lead the HSI, added. She also touched on the island of enchantment's proximity to Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and how that location in the Caribbean combined with the isle's U.S. territory status makes Puerto Rico an increasingly popular route for smugglers to target – a reality exacerbated by the increased security measures along the U.S.-Mexico border. "Once you get to Puerto Rico, you're one flight away from getting wherever you want to go, because you're already in a domestic part of the United States… You can either stay on the island or you can get to mainland pretty easy. So that's why the Caribbean route, for many of them, it's easier," González-Ramos said. "The Mexico border being closed and [the new] strong enforcement there has not only opened the Caribbean for human smuggling, but it also opened it for drug smuggling," she continued. "We see now a larger fentanyl presence in the island in regards to Mexican organizations moving to the Dominican Republic and to other countries to find different routes for their narcotics to go up to the mainland," the special agent added. When asked about how renewed funding under the Trump Administration and enabled immigration measures have impacted the local migrant population and their activity on the island, González-Ramos cited that most of their investigations have uncovered the involvement of "individuals from foreign countries." "Those foreigners are in charge of the organizations, and they're in charge of transporting the narcotics to the U.S… I'm not saying every foreigner is a threat, but there's lots of foreigners that can be deadly threats to the United States," she continued. "The only way that we can protect our country is by controlling who comes into our country and who leaves our country… People forget about the safety issues on national security, and they don't see foreigners as the threat that they can be." The special agent added, "[People] need to remember that we're federal law enforcement officers, and our mission is to protect the United States - and that's what we're doing."

Long Island fire chief accused of storming state lawmaker's office in ICE feud now facing trespassing charge
A Democratic Long Island lawmaker is pressing charges against a local fire chief who he claims barged into his office and traumatized his staff after the duo feuded over the fire department's participation in ICE raids earlier this month. State Assemblyman Phil Ramos has issued a trespass against East Brentwood Fire Chief Bryant Figueroa — meaning he can't go near the office again without being arrested — and formally pressed charges against the volunteer firefighter after a July 10 stand-off following days of public feuding. 'Figueroa's actions represent a clear violation of New York State Penal Law,' Ramos said in a statement announcing that charges against the chief were filed. 3 New York State Assemblyman Phil Ramos has pressed charges against East Brentwood Fire Chief Bryant Figueroa. 'His aggressive and unannounced entry created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty in what should be a safe and respectful workplace.' A spokesperson for Ramos said the charges have been officially handed over to the DA, but since the violation isn't criminal, Figueroa will only receive a court summons and will not be arrested. The DA did not respond to a request for confirmation, but Suffolk County police told The Post that charges have not been officially filed, and that the department is still investigating the lawmaker's claims. But Figueroa shot back at Ramos after learning of the charges, accused him of using his political influence to pressure cops into pursuing baseless charges. 'Assemblyman Phil Ramos filed charges against me — first by approaching the New York State Police in a confrontational manner — when informed that no crime had been committed, he then went to the local precinct, applying pressure in what appears to be a clear abuse of his title and influence,' Figueroa said. 3 Ramos claims Bryant stormed into his office and traumatized his staff after they argued over the fire department's involvement in the ICE raids earlier this month. East Brentwood Fire Department 'This behavior is deeply troubling, particularly from someone who once wore a badge.' The political rivalry started in early July, after unmarked ICE agents and vehicles were confirmed to be operating a makeshift base out a local firehouse's parking lot — sparking anger from Ramos who led a protest accusing local fire officials of aiding the feds in their local immigration raids. East Brentwood's fire officials told The Post they had no prior knowledge of ICE using the fire station's parking lot as a base, adding that as a state entity, it can't stop a federal agency from using the site, which they also said is public property. After days of public chastising from Ramos, Figueroa showed up to his office 'visibly angry' and 'intent on confrontation,' adding the chief ignored staff and charged toward his private office and forcibly entered, the assemblyman said. 3 In a statement, Ramos said, a clear violation of New York State Penal Law.' East Brentwood Fire Department Ramos was not present at the time of the incident, but said his staff is still traumatized from Figueroa's actions. Local firefighters, however, believe the 'petty' public spat between the pair has gone on far too long and needs to come to an end. 'If I'm honest, neither person is correct in the situation,' one firefighter told The Post under the agreement on anonymity. 'It's very childish from both people involved,' they added.
