00:02:05.820 What's up?
00:02:06.140 Welcome to Fed It, man.
00:02:07.180 On this channel, we break down criminal cases, man.
00:02:09.280 I hope you guys like that intro.
00:02:12.000 I know a lot of you guys are like, yo, that intro is too long, Myron.
00:02:16.020 Well, screw you guys.
00:02:16.720 I need it because it helps me get set up as you guys are watching it.
00:02:20.740 Yeah, guys.
00:02:21.320 You guys know this channel actually takes quite a bit of my time because, you know, researching cases, pulling up old documents, especially for cases like this that were mine.
00:02:29.780 I'm, like, trying to remember, oh, man, what was the defendant's name?
00:02:32.420 What was the case number?
00:02:33.320 Blah, blah, blah.
00:02:34.020 Going through the documents again.
00:02:35.240 I'm not going to lie to you guys.
00:02:36.760 I was really enjoying going through the documents and, like, remembering, oh, yeah, I remember this when this happened.
00:02:40.980 I remember when this happened.
00:02:41.740 So we got a treat for you guys.
00:02:43.420 So real quick, today's 9-11, guys.
00:02:48.220 For some of you guys, we've got a lot of international viewers.
00:02:50.520 On September 11th, we were attacked by some terrorists.
00:02:53.000 You know, they attacked the World Trade Center, Twin Towers.
00:02:55.620 And, you know, we lost, I think, like 3,000 Americans, almost 3,000 Americans passed away.
00:03:03.240 So we're going to take a quick moment of silence because, obviously, this is a very important day in American history.
00:03:09.340 And then we're going to go ahead, and I'm going to tell you guys what inspired me to actually become an agent.
00:03:13.280 So I'm going to take a quick moment of silence for all those that passed away.
00:03:16.520 Thank you, guys.
00:03:36.580 Now, you know, for all the people who say, oh, cover up, blah, blah, you know, the conspiracy theorists, guys, you know, you can have your opinion.
00:03:43.800 You're entitled to your opinion.
00:03:44.660 But at the end of the day, one thing we can't refuse is that people died.
00:03:48.020 And, you know, the least we could do is at least show those people respect that lost their lives on that day.
00:03:51.660 And I'll give you guys a quick little story time, okay?
00:03:57.580 So on September 11, 2001, I remember exactly where I was.
00:04:01.160 I was in sixth grade at Pulaski Middle School in New Britain, Connecticut.
00:04:06.700 And I was sitting in my English language arts class.
00:04:10.500 And I remember getting, you know, the loudspeaker right back then.
00:04:15.780 It goes, hey, everybody, you know, like one of those old shitty loudspeakers.
00:04:19.760 And they say, hey, something terrible happened in New York.
00:04:23.560 We're going to end school early, right?
00:04:25.780 So all of us were like, yeah, woo!
00:04:27.900 You know, because it was like 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
00:04:29.860 So we were like super excited, right?
00:04:31.660 And we're like, yeah, woo!
00:04:32.780 Let's get out of here.
00:04:33.560 We were all excited.
00:04:34.380 And we got the hell out of there, right?
00:04:36.380 So I'm going home.
00:04:37.320 I'm like, yeah, this is going to be lit.
00:04:38.680 I'm going to play video games.
00:04:39.740 Nobody really knew what was going on, right?
00:04:40.980 We're all sixth grade kids.
00:04:41.900 I was 11 years old at the time.
00:04:44.940 And I remember getting home.
00:04:46.660 And I remember going, you know, going to the TV.
00:04:51.160 And my dad is watching the news.
00:04:53.160 And they're showing, like, images of, like, a plane hitting a building.
00:04:57.020 And I was like, what the hell?
00:04:59.200 And it was, like, surreal.
00:05:01.480 Like, I didn't think it was real.
00:05:02.300 I thought he was, like, watching a movie or something like that.
00:05:05.040 And even he was like, yeah, we got attacked.
00:05:08.060 Like, he knew.
00:05:08.680 Because at that point, like, they were kind of suspecting, like, a terrorist attack or whatever, that America is under attack.
00:05:12.700 But, guys, remember, it was mayhem, right?
00:05:14.640 There was planes flying everywhere.
00:05:17.100 People, you know, one of the planes crashed in, you know, in Pennsylvania or was it Pennsylvania or Virginia, whatever it may be.
00:05:26.360 And it was just pandemonium.
00:05:27.820 It was just pandemonium, right?
00:05:30.480 And no one really knew what the hell was going on at the time.
00:05:33.640 So after that, though, right, let's fast forward a little bit.
00:05:37.100 After the 9-11 attacks, I remember getting picked on a lot, okay?
00:05:39.920 As you guys can see, the way that I look, I can easily be, you know, I grew up in a Muslim household.
00:05:47.520 My family are from Sudan.
00:05:49.340 So people would, oh, are you Indian?
00:05:51.060 You Pakistani?
00:05:51.780 Oh, your uncle attacked us.
00:05:53.480 And they made a bunch of jokes on, you know, my background and everything else like that.
00:05:57.700 I don't really care too much, right?
00:05:58.860 It made me have very thick skin.
00:05:59.940 If you guys wonder why I have such a sense of humor or whatever it may be or I don't get offended, the reason why is because I got bullied a lot in school, especially after 9-11.
00:06:07.600 I mean, hell, I remember them saying, oh, Bin Laden's your uncle and Saddam is, you know, after they killed Saddam in like 05, they're like, oh, yeah, we killed your dad.
00:06:16.500 Like, you know, it was fucked up shit.
00:06:17.740 But it was funny, right?
00:06:19.300 It is what it is.
00:06:20.060 You got to get a sense of humor.
00:06:20.980 But what I will say is one thing I do remember from back then is that my mom got harassed a lot.
00:06:27.300 That's one thing I do remember.
00:06:28.160 She got harassed a lot because she would cover her hair.
00:06:31.200 And after 9-11, people weren't so happy with anyone that was Muslim at the time.
00:06:34.760 And so I remember one time someone drove by.
00:06:38.780 I think we were like at Target or something like that or Walmart.
00:06:41.480 Somebody drove by and like said something crazy to her.
00:06:44.940 And, you know, the look on her face was just like fucking again, right?
00:06:50.540 And I was like, man, I'm going to I'm going to work in law enforcement so that we can go ahead and get the fucking guys that did this shit.
00:06:56.400 So no one else has to to ever deal with that, you know, you know, obviously, I'm not like excusing that idiots, you know, ignorance for, you know, insulting my mom just because she wore a hijab.
00:07:07.360 But, you know, a lot of good Muslims like suffered the consequences after 9-11 simply for, you know, what the religion they practice.
00:07:14.200 Right. And obviously, you know, these extremists fuck it up for everybody else.
00:07:17.260 So anybody else that's that's Muslim or comes from that part of the world, the Middle East or India or Pakistan or Asia or wherever it may be, you guys know what I'm talking about after 9-11.
00:07:27.820 Hell, even if you weren't let's say you weren't Muslim, but you were like Hindu or something like that, they still gave you the same type of energy because people were ignorant.
00:07:33.860 You know, they didn't know the difference.
00:07:35.260 So that definitely motivated me to get into law enforcement.
00:07:39.260 People ask all the time, hey, what will like inspired you?
00:07:42.240 9-11 was a big inspiration.
00:07:44.460 And 9-11, guys, actually created the Department of Homeland Security in 2003.
00:07:48.960 The Homeland Security Act was, you know, pretty much enacted to kind of thwart terrorism.
00:07:55.040 And a big reason why was because agencies weren't working together.
00:07:57.560 A big part of and when I'm going to talk about this in detail when I break down the 9-11 case for y'all, but a big reason why the terrorists are able to even get on the planes and get the visas and everything else like that was because agencies weren't sharing information.
00:08:10.400 And what happened with the Homeland Security Act is they combined some agencies to kind of make things a bit easier.
00:08:15.580 And two of the agencies that they combined are the agency that I worked for.
00:08:19.400 I worked for before I resigned, which was Homeland Security Investigations.
00:08:23.680 It was legacy prior to that U.S. Customs Service.
00:08:27.560 And Immigration Naturalization Service.
00:08:29.280 And then they went ahead and merged the two agencies together and they created something called ICE or Immigration Customs Enforcement.
00:08:34.980 And then within ICE, there's two components of that, okay?
00:08:38.200 There's Homeland Security Investigations, who, you know, with the special agencies that do the criminal cases.
00:08:42.440 Then you got Enforcement Removal Operations, ERO, right?
00:08:46.460 And they're tasked with actually, you know, removing and deporting illegal aliens and apprehending them as well, okay?
00:08:52.380 So real quick, let me hit some of these chats that may have come in.
00:08:55.140 We got five bucks from Hobosexual.
00:08:58.520 It goes, hey, yo, Myron, that pearly things chick takes your talking points and even uses all the same analogies you use.
00:09:07.400 Straight grifter.
00:09:08.340 Nah, no comment.
00:09:11.960 Y'all know.
00:09:13.240 Best story time, five bucks.
00:09:14.880 Hey, Myron, how you search up indictments, warrants again, or where's the episode when you explained it?
00:09:19.300 I got popped a while back.
00:09:21.060 Now I want to know who told.
00:09:24.980 Well, number one, my friend, it's got to be a federal case.
00:09:27.220 And then number two, you got to know what district you were arrested in.
00:09:30.460 Send a super chat in with your name and where you're at, and I'll show you how to find your own case.
00:09:35.100 Go ahead if you really want to have some fun with this thing.
00:09:39.000 We got here.
00:09:39.880 Myron's grandfather, aside from my – here we go.
00:09:41.980 See?
00:09:42.120 And he has a picture of Bin Laden.
00:09:45.420 Aside from my PFP, respect to those who are lost to this day.
00:09:49.480 All right.
00:09:50.780 You guys are clowns.
00:09:52.840 Let's see here.
00:09:53.940 Anything else?
00:09:56.180 All right.
00:09:56.580 Cool.
00:09:56.820 And then we got Camino Kills.
00:09:57.900 Dropping my early – like early.
00:09:59.040 Thank you so much.
00:09:59.520 Shout out to all the members.
00:10:00.340 Dr. B84 in the house.
00:10:01.980 Jonathan Hugu.
00:10:02.720 What's good, everybody?
00:10:03.380 Yep.
00:10:03.560 Shout out to you, my friend.
00:10:05.260 Yeah.
00:10:05.780 Cool.
00:10:06.520 So, okay.
00:10:07.120 So, real quick, because I know we got a lot of people that just started watching this
00:10:15.220 channel, whatever.
00:10:15.820 So, let's do a quick rewind.
00:10:17.420 Before Fresh and Fit, all right?
00:10:19.980 Before Fresh and Fit, guys, I'll specialize your Homeland Security Investigations, HSI,
00:10:23.300 okay?
00:10:24.100 And, you know, they do a bunch of different types of investigations.
00:10:27.200 Instead of me boring you guys, I'm going to go ahead and show you guys a video of what
00:10:31.180 they do.
00:10:32.380 But what I will say is I started as an intern in Boston, okay, from 2010 to 2013.
00:10:37.560 I went – I was in the Boston field office as an intern, and then I became an agent
00:10:41.400 in 2013.
00:10:42.200 I was in the New Haven field office for a period of, I think, like six or seven months.
00:10:46.240 Went down to the academy.
00:10:48.520 Trained there for six or seven months.
00:10:50.220 Went to Laredo, Texas.
00:10:51.180 Laredo, Texas was my full field office, my first full-fledged duty station, right?
00:10:56.300 I was there from 20 – excuse me.
00:11:00.180 I was there from 2014 to 2018.
00:11:03.080 In 2018, I transferred to the Miami field office where I stayed there for two years.
00:11:07.620 And as you guys know, from 2018 to 2020, I was an agent in Miami, and I had to resign.
00:11:13.020 And the reason why I resigned was because basically we started to blow up on YouTube, okay?
00:11:17.920 We started to blow up on YouTube, guys.
00:11:19.140 And, you know, as someone that's in the government, you know, as an agent where you have to testify
00:11:23.940 and everything else like that, they don't want you, you know, on the internet like that, guys.
00:11:28.460 I mean, they encourage agents, whether you work for DEA, FBI, whatever, whoever it is, HSI,
00:11:35.040 they don't want you guys on – they don't want you on the internet like that, okay?
00:11:37.460 Because the thing is that anything you say on the internet could be used against you, like, in court.
00:11:40.620 And what I mean by court, I don't mean, like, oh, it could be used against you in Cordova.
00:11:43.360 No, but, like, you're supposed to maintain a certain type of air about you where you're not necessarily opinionated
00:11:51.080 because they don't want you to go ahead and say that you're a biased witness.
00:11:54.820 Because remember, guys, what you are when you're a special agent for the government is you're basically a professional witness.
00:11:59.760 That's what you are, okay?
00:12:01.120 You gather evidence, you gather facts, you arrest suspects, you develop cases,
00:12:06.380 and you are tasked with being an expert witness.
00:12:10.980 You're a professional witness for the U.S. government.
00:12:12.920 So your credibility is everything.
00:12:14.280 So anything that you say on the internet could be used against you with defense attorneys, right?
00:12:18.020 Like, all they got to do is be like, oh, Agent Gaines?
00:12:22.140 I saw that on this episode of Fresh and Fit on such and such day, you said that these 304s ain't loyal.
00:12:29.300 What does that mean?
00:12:30.180 You know what I'm saying?
00:12:30.680 And they could use that shit, even though the case could be on, like, drug trafficking.
00:12:33.540 You have nothing to do with 304s.
00:12:35.160 They could go ahead and use that to try to make you look like a less than credible witness, if you know what I'm saying.
00:12:40.600 Okay, guys?
00:12:41.180 So that's what the defense has to do.
00:12:42.840 All they have to do is just, like, dilute the water a little bit and be able to build a case, all right?
00:12:48.900 So that's why.
00:12:50.840 So they basically didn't like it, and they gave me a choice.
00:12:54.460 Hey, you know, you got to suspend your outside employment activities and, you know, keep doing the job.
00:12:59.520 Or, you know, you resign.
00:13:01.260 And at that point, we had employees.
00:13:02.840 I had a team behind me.
00:13:04.060 I had to leave.
00:13:04.860 And as you guys know, I think about that job every day.
00:13:08.080 It was fun.
00:13:08.560 It was a great career.
00:13:09.620 You know, I have nothing bad to say about, you know, being a former agent.
00:13:14.220 It was a lot of fun.
00:13:15.500 Learned a lot.
00:13:16.580 Taught me a lot of character development.
00:13:18.900 You know, taught me, you know, you guys see me, like, writing notes and everything else like that.
00:13:22.400 That comes from that job, you know, taking things down, being able to listen very closely to what people say, right?
00:13:28.720 They say a bunch of, like, you guys see the girls say a bunch of stupid word salad.
00:13:31.780 I'm able to assess what they say and then go ahead and summarize it and say it back to them.
00:13:35.580 Okay, is this what you're saying?
00:13:36.680 Yes.
00:13:37.020 Okay, bam.
00:13:37.500 This is why your argument is wrong.
00:13:38.500 Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:13:39.620 Because you teach, they teach you that as agents.
00:13:41.280 So, like, be able to listen to people and then get the facts right, right?
00:13:44.960 Because you got to remember, a lot of people aren't actually good at speaking.
00:13:47.380 They just yap to yap and they're not able, they don't give you, like, concrete facts.
00:13:50.320 You have to fish for that shit.
00:13:51.780 So, that's a skill that I learned from being there.
00:13:54.720 And, you know, I wanted to trade it for the world.
00:13:56.920 Ali A, two bucks.
00:13:58.160 Thank you so much.
00:13:58.680 Appreciate that, my friend.
00:14:00.360 Then we got here, Rooney, A76.
00:14:02.780 Hold on.
00:14:03.180 So, when you go to England, what's your not going to pull up on, what's on probably thing?
00:14:08.100 What's the, I'm not going to talk about that, guys.
00:14:12.320 So, we got Corey M.
00:14:13.740 Weirin.
00:14:14.080 Thank you so much.
00:14:15.460 Darrell Powell.
00:14:16.520 Yo, man, I sent you a DM for a case I wanted you to cover.
00:14:19.180 Jamaican gangster Christopher Dudas and legendary singer Sam Cooke.
00:14:22.040 Death whole story is nuts.
00:14:23.080 I'm going to DM you Sam Dudas so you know.
00:14:25.580 Okay, if it's good, I'll do it.
00:14:26.980 If it's whack, I ain't going to do it.
00:14:29.200 And if the people can learn something.
00:14:33.040 Okay, let's see here if I got anything else.
00:14:35.140 Okay, I think we're caught up.
00:14:37.080 Jarvis O.
00:14:37.700 Harden.
00:14:38.800 ATL.
00:14:39.160 J. Fulton County Zone 1.
00:14:40.280 No, that's a state case, my friend.
00:14:41.520 That's not a federal case.
00:14:43.080 So, that's the problem.
00:14:45.440 It's a state case.
00:14:46.260 You got to go look through the state records to get it.
00:14:48.580 If it was federal, I'd be able to pull it up right now.
00:14:50.360 But if it's a state case, that's a whole other filing system that you're going to have to go through.
00:14:58.920 So, okay.
00:14:59.560 Okay, so let's see here.
00:15:07.120 Alright, so what I'm going to do guys, I'm going to go ahead and show you guys what HSI does.
00:15:11.000 Okay, the types of crimes, they investigate everything else like that versus me talking and boring y'all.
00:15:14.720 And then we'll get into the stuff, right?
00:15:17.500 Alright, so share.
00:15:19.100 Alright, I'm going to have to probably mute the music because I'm pretty sure that this shit is copyright.
00:15:27.640 And HSI needs some better marketing, man.
00:15:30.760 I'm just going to say that.
00:15:31.500 Alright, so this is when they caught Chapo.
00:15:35.320 HSI and DEA were involved in that.
00:15:39.740 Okay.
00:15:40.880 Transnational gangs, as y'all can see, right?
00:15:43.220 They do a lot of that, right?
00:15:44.620 Whether it's MS-13 or
00:15:46.540 Serenios, Mexican Mafia, whatever.
00:15:49.380 They do gangs all over, right?
00:15:51.480 The 6ix9ine case, guys, was a gang case.
00:15:53.740 They went ahead and did a gang investigation.
00:15:56.220 That's how everybody got 6ix9ine.
00:15:57.380 It was HSI in New York that got them.
00:16:01.500 Alright, Victim Rescues, we do a lot of human trafficking, right?
00:16:06.940 Human trafficking, human smuggling, child exploitation, human smuggling, right?
00:16:10.820 This is something that I specialized in when I was on the border.
00:16:13.280 This, guys, I was, yo, holy shit.
00:16:17.040 This clip right here, this is going to sound crazy.
00:16:20.500 This was taken in Laredo, Texas.
00:16:22.400 This was from one of my cases, guys.
00:16:25.860 I was watching this video, like, trying to get y'all an idea of what HSI does.
00:16:31.500 Bro, this is my case right here.
00:16:34.660 Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy.
00:16:37.200 And I'll talk to you guys about this one day.
00:16:39.420 We did a controlled delivery, okay, of illegal aliens to San Antonio, Texas.
00:16:45.480 I'll break this case down.
00:16:46.800 I did crazy shit when I was on the job, guys.
00:16:48.300 This was basically an undercover operation where we had, we're meeting with, we're meeting with some bad guys.
00:16:56.560 And those bad guys, what they did was they gave us some illegal aliens, right, thinking that we're going to transport them to San Antonio for them.
00:17:01.920 So we went ahead and took the aliens in, right?
00:17:04.760 And then what we did was, and illegal aliens, guys, are, you know, undocumented migrants, whatever you guys want to refer to them.
00:17:10.180 But legally speaking, in the United States, you call them illegal aliens.
00:17:14.400 Yeah, I was shocked.
00:17:15.080 When I was watching this, I was like, wait, that's my case.
00:17:16.860 I recognize this car right here in the back.
00:17:21.360 And then this is Laredo, and I recognize this truck.
00:17:23.940 So anyway, so yeah, we had like control, we did a controlled delivery, and then we took the aliens to, what's it called, to San Antonio.
00:17:37.700 We didn't actually take them there, but we drove the truck up there, and we met with the bad guys, and we arrested them.
00:17:42.680 And I'll talk about the whole thing one day.
00:17:46.620 Yeah, anyway, let's continue.
00:17:49.780 Right.
00:17:51.100 Yeah, I would see a lot of that.
00:17:52.400 And then obviously drug smuggling, right?
00:17:53.760 Maritime especially.
00:17:54.640 This happens a lot in Miami.
00:17:58.680 Right.
00:18:01.040 Yeah, we definitely combat drugs, right?
00:18:04.160 HSI is one of the biggest agencies that does drug investigations.
00:18:07.680 Okay.
00:18:08.760 The rapid response team.
00:18:09.980 Guys, rapid response team, basically, like, when there's like a hurricane,
00:18:12.680 or some kind of crazy natural event, they deploy, and they go out and help people.
00:18:20.360 Not to be, you know, mixed with the special response team or SRT.
00:18:26.600 SRT is our SWAT team, guys.
00:18:28.260 They're the guys that, you know, they're doing all the high, you know, the high-speed stuff, the crazy tactical stuff.
00:18:33.940 They're going after the worst of the worst people.
00:18:35.460 Like, if you've got a search warrant, a dangerous search warrant or a dangerous arrest warrant, these guys are the guys that you send in.
00:18:41.640 They're a very, very tactical SWAT team.
00:18:43.240 They train with, you know, Delta Force and Special Ops and, you know, Green Berets, all that stuff.
00:18:48.540 So, I was going to do SRT, but then I couldn't swim.
00:18:59.280 So, there we go.
00:18:59.980 That's a big fail for your boy, Myron.
00:19:04.460 Oh, man.
00:19:07.120 Okay.
00:19:07.660 And then you got the Border Enforcement Security Task Force, guys.
00:19:09.880 Best.
00:19:10.120 On the Southwest border, guys, there's a lot of violence.
00:19:13.540 There's a lot of kidnapping.
00:19:14.260 There's a lot of crazy stuff that goes on.
00:19:16.420 So, Best works together with other law enforcement agencies, and they go ahead and, you know, do those types of investigations that are directly tied to the border.
00:19:27.620 Okay.
00:19:29.220 Work a lot with other agencies, right?
00:19:31.780 CBP.
00:19:33.220 Okay.
00:19:33.860 Cybercrimes.
00:19:35.120 HSI does a lot of, they do a lot of child pornography.
00:19:39.620 A lot of dark web crimes.
00:19:42.040 A lot of stuff like that, guys.
00:19:43.760 We actually, we, man, I would say HSI probably is the lead agency when it comes to child exploitation now.
00:19:49.120 They might have taken over the FBI.
00:19:51.600 You know, FBI does CP as well, but HSI, man, they really, like, yeah.
00:19:57.520 Because you guys got to remember that child pornography used to be something, was more of a customs violation because people have to smuggle that shit in.
00:20:03.860 But now, it's on the internet, and when it's on the internet, it affects interstate commerce.
00:20:07.700 Boom, the feds got it.
00:20:08.540 So, but HSI does most of the child exploitation nowadays.
00:20:12.300 You know, FBI does it too, but I think HSI does more of them.
00:20:20.040 And then identity benefit fraud.
00:20:21.800 Identity benefit fraud, guys, is like when people make fake passports, fake documents, making presses, making fake driver's license, all that other stuff.
00:20:28.440 They go after, and then global trade investigations, yep.
00:20:31.980 You know, obviously, this is commercial fraud.
00:20:35.760 A lot of people do commercial fraud.
00:20:36.700 And then intellectual property and trade fraud.
00:20:38.620 Guys, this is something also interesting that we do, that they basically, you know, if you make counterfeit stuff, you know, Coach, Louis Vuitton, et cetera.
00:20:46.700 This is all customs violations.
00:20:48.820 And then you got, okay, counterproliferation investigations.
00:20:51.560 I will go ahead and do one of these for y'all.
00:20:53.720 I did a very big one when I was, like, in the way beginning, a CPI case.
00:20:59.640 And counterproliferation, guys, is people try to get U.S. technology, right, on weapons or whatever it may be and give it to foreign adversaries, okay?
00:21:07.480 And these cases can get really, you know, espionage-y, if you know what I'm saying.
00:21:13.180 And they're really interesting.
00:21:14.900 They're boring as hell if you got a long, boring one, but they can be really, really complex and really good.
00:21:20.740 And this is, like, you know, selling and or stealing American technology slash weaponry, right?
00:21:28.140 A lot of times it deals with weapons.
00:21:29.500 Like, in this case, look, this guy is trying to buy – this was an undercover operation where a guy is buying a machine gun.
00:21:37.480 Or, no, excuse me, that was a rocket launcher.
00:21:39.960 And then we also do financial crimes, a lot of money laundering, right?
00:21:43.860 Typically, especially with, like, drugs going into the United States and the money coming southbound, right?
00:21:48.700 So a lot of financial investigations.
00:21:50.980 Yeah, this is what the badge looks like, by the way, guys.
00:21:56.840 Right?
00:21:57.220 And then worksite enforcement, they also do that as well, which is when you – you know, people that employ illegal aliens, like, on a mass scale, that's criminal.
00:22:05.500 And then also cultural property theft.
00:22:07.620 That's interesting.
00:22:08.340 I had a friend that used to do these types of cases.
00:22:11.280 Did y'all know that people actually are out here stealing artwork and artifacts like crazy?
00:22:15.860 Like, I was like, what the fuck?
00:22:17.400 Like, what?
00:22:19.060 But, yeah, a lot of people steal, you know, artifacts, artwork, paintings, scriptures, et cetera.
00:22:26.400 It's actually like there's a whole dark side of the world that does this and sells it on the black market.
00:22:32.560 I did not know that, but I have a friend that actually specializes in this very crime.
00:22:36.600 So very interesting.
00:22:43.100 Yeah, people stealing fossils, all that shit, man.
00:22:45.380 Shit is crazy.
00:22:46.340 All right.
00:22:46.860 So anyway, that right there, my friends, is an introduction to HSI.
00:22:50.920 Now, you guys are probably wondering, well, what do special agents do on a typical day?
00:22:53.760 Instead of me talking about it, guys, I'm going to show you guys all this video.
00:22:56.160 And then we're going to get into the trial because I really want you guys to understand the duties and the life of what it's like to be a federal agent.
00:23:04.280 All right.
00:23:05.740 Like as a United States special agent, that's a great question that's often asked, but it's also a hard question to answer.
00:23:14.040 I hate to sound cliche, but it really is true that being a special agent is not a nine to five job.
00:23:19.740 And there is no typical day.
00:23:21.960 And that is true.
00:23:22.880 This is not a nine to five job at all.
00:23:24.880 Guys, I remember days where I would literally go in to work on a Monday, especially when I was on the southwest border.
00:23:31.100 I want to get home until like Wednesday or Thursday.
00:23:34.260 Yeah, that crazy.
00:23:35.920 You'd be working that much, man.
00:23:37.540 So, yeah, it's not it's definitely not a nine to five job.
00:23:41.660 If you want to be able to, you know, go in at nine and come home at five, like obviously there's, you know, certain groups and certain types of agencies that will allow you to live that that lifestyle.
00:23:50.420 But if you want to be running and gunning and doing big cases or whatever, fuck no.
00:23:54.900 Man, I remember you guys say all the time, yo, Mario, why can't you sleep?
00:23:58.660 Why don't you sleep?
00:23:59.320 You guys want to know why I don't sleep?
00:24:00.740 I'll give you guys a secret right here.
00:24:03.600 Not even the secret or why.
00:24:05.220 The reason why, guys, is that when I was on the southwest border, I was on call like three times.
00:24:10.200 We were on call all the time.
00:24:11.900 OK, so when you're on call, if they catch people smuggling aliens, if they catch people at the bridge with drugs, if they catch people doing whatever, guess who they call you?
00:24:20.480 And then you got to show up at three o'clock in the morning and go deal with it.
00:24:23.820 So I was used to being up at night because we would always get called late at night.
00:24:29.040 You know, you are better off sometimes just sleeping during the day than, you know, sleeping at night because you knew that they were going to call you.
00:24:34.480 That's when the crooks were doing all the crazy shit that they do.
00:24:36.460 So so that is why, guys, it's not a nine to five job, especially if you work for HSI on the southwest border.
00:24:43.260 Oh, Lord, you're going to be out all the time working all the time.
00:24:46.900 I dude, when I was on the border, we were making arrests damn near every single day.
00:24:51.700 Most federal agents and agencies might make a criminal arrest once every five years.
00:24:56.360 Dude, we're arresting people every day because, remember, they're calling you from the ports.
00:25:01.120 They're calling you from the bridges.
00:25:02.420 They're calling you from Border Patrol is calling you when they catch people in the brush.
00:25:07.240 So and then you also had your own investigations that you were doing independently.
00:25:10.880 So you were getting called on response cases and then you were also getting called, you know, to your regular cases.
00:25:16.920 Can you review Jared Fogle, Subway, Jared case?
00:25:21.140 I could do that one day.
00:25:22.640 I could do that for sure.
00:25:24.340 What else do we got here?
00:25:25.400 Chats.
00:25:25.800 Hey, man, you seem like you're in a great mood tonight.
00:25:27.260 Let's have a good stream, brother.
00:25:28.080 Yeah, we got you, man.
00:25:28.800 I'm I try to be in a good mood as much as I can.
00:25:31.420 This nigga, my can't swim.
00:25:32.400 That's kind of crazy.
00:25:33.080 Yeah, I know.
00:25:33.480 I'll be I'll be sinking, bro.
00:25:35.180 You know, I'll live.
00:25:36.040 But like I ain't a good swimmer.
00:25:37.240 I'm really bad.
00:25:37.780 But yeah, you should definitely do do this, a.k.a.
00:25:41.560 the president.
00:25:42.100 He got extradited by the USA and do use doll face.
00:25:44.040 She hasn't and and do use doll face.
00:25:46.880 She doesn't know shit.
00:25:48.320 OK, I think you mean don't use doll face.
00:25:49.800 OK, the best story time how I do it.
00:25:52.800 You got to I mean, just go to your county, bro.
00:25:55.160 Go to your county clerk and you'll probably be able to find it.
00:25:57.400 All right.
00:25:57.840 So let's go back to this video as far as like what it's like to be a special agent.
00:26:02.200 Just so you guys know, the name of the channel is called Fed1811 because 1811 is the job series code for all special agents.
00:26:07.780 It's in the United States, whether you work for FBI, DEA, whatever it may be.
00:26:10.500 It's the government series job series code.
00:26:13.520 It's not all like the movies where every day your favorite onscreen character is getting in car chases, kicking in doors and arresting bad guys.
00:26:21.960 While you will do some of that, it's just not a typical day.
00:26:26.500 One thing they never show you on TV is the multiple hours of sitting in front of a computer, researching, typing reports and utilizing dozens of databases.
00:26:36.640 Bro, that is so true.
00:26:38.420 I spent so much time writing reports.
00:26:40.300 We call them ROIs.
00:26:41.860 Different agencies call them different things like DEA calls it a DEA 6 because that's it's called DEA Form 6.
00:26:47.400 FBI calls them 302s because that's their official form number.
00:26:52.460 But you write reports.
00:26:54.680 You're doing database searches.
00:26:56.940 You know, you're doing admin paperwork.
00:26:58.660 Oh, man, guys, if I should, I probably should be admitting this on air, but I'm going to admit this real quick.
00:27:10.060 One of the things I would get dinged on really bad, right?
00:27:13.060 That every single one of my supervisors hated about me, guys, is that I would always be late on my car reports.
00:27:18.100 Okay.
00:27:18.420 Oh, man, should be admitting this shit.
00:27:21.880 My admin paperwork stuff was trash.
00:27:25.180 I didn't give a fuck about none of that stuff.
00:27:27.380 Okay.
00:27:27.720 Because you're supposed to do your vehicle report, right, every month where you put like, you know, you attach your receipts, you know, you put in your mileage, all that stuff, right?
00:27:39.460 Because they gave you a take-home car, right?
00:27:41.440 And then they would give you like admin paperwork to do for your vehicle, right, getting checks done on it.
00:27:46.780 You know, you would have to do your time sheets, all this stupid shit.
00:27:50.220 Bro, I sucked at all that stuff.
00:27:51.640 I didn't give a fuck about none of that stuff.
00:27:53.040 I was out there doing real cases.
00:27:55.020 I didn't care about none of that admin stuff like, you know, because here's the thing.
00:27:58.740 I'm going to keep it all the way a thousand with you guys.
00:28:00.560 The agents that had like really good admin stuff typically sucked and didn't do shit on the job.
00:28:05.400 That's the truth.
00:28:06.220 Okay.
00:28:06.900 Anyone that works in this field knows this.
00:28:08.640 The agents that typically suck with the admin stuff are out there fucking arresting people doing shit.
00:28:13.140 They're in court.
00:28:13.900 They're testifying.
00:28:14.880 They're on surveillance.
00:28:15.920 They're on debriefing informants.
00:28:17.680 They're out there in the streets doing stuff.
00:28:20.420 Guys that are in the office all day that don't do anything, they're the ones that keep up with admin stuff because they ain't got nothing better to do, you know?
00:28:26.660 So, you know, it's a give and take.
00:28:28.500 And I'm not going to lie.
00:28:29.200 I was totally cool with sacrificing admin stuff and getting, you know, they give me a hard time about my admin work.
00:28:36.900 I was okay with that.
00:28:38.640 Because I was bringing big cases, right?
00:28:41.400 Big cases.
00:28:41.900 I got a director's award.
00:28:43.260 One of the cases that I did, as a matter of fact, right now, guys, is up for a Department of Justice Attorney General Award right now.
00:28:49.860 Okay?
00:28:50.580 So, I was out here for real.
00:28:53.220 So, my thing is I didn't care about the admin stuff.
00:28:55.240 Yes, I used to lose my points.
00:28:56.760 I used to lose points on it for my evaluation every year.
00:28:59.060 But my thing was I'm going to do big cases.
00:29:02.260 I'm going to do wiretaps.
00:29:03.280 I'm going to do OCDFs.
00:29:04.080 I'm going to write reports.
00:29:04.860 I'm going to do surveillance.
00:29:05.720 I'm going to have 10 informants, you know, calling me at all hours of the night.
00:29:09.880 You know, that's what I was about was, like, making shit happen.
00:29:12.940 And most agents don't do that.
00:29:14.560 Most agents are lazy as hell.
00:29:15.680 They're there to collect a paycheck.
00:29:17.380 And anybody that works in law enforcement knows exactly what I'm talking about.
00:29:20.160 Everybody knows that.
00:29:20.880 And any agency you work for, whether you're a police department, state police, feds, investigator, whatever it may be,
00:29:27.540 there's typically only the top 10 to 20% of guys doing most of the work.
00:29:31.540 Just like the Predator Principle.
00:29:33.080 12M of cocaine found in baby wipes Laredo, Texas, do agents get bonuses for busts like that?
00:29:37.080 No, they do not, my friend.
00:29:37.960 But good stuff.
00:29:39.680 I did hear about that in Laredo.
00:29:43.060 Happens often, guys, where they're busting people for big drug loads like that.
00:29:46.300 Happens all the time.
00:29:47.620 Shout out to Laredo, Texas.
00:29:48.340 That was my first place.
00:29:50.000 Will you ever do Kyle Rittenhouse?
00:29:51.000 Yes, I will.
00:29:51.580 I just got to coordinate with Andrew Esquire about it.
00:29:54.560 And Young Dolph.
00:29:55.600 Yes, we're going to do Young Dolph as well.
00:29:57.640 We got to go to Memphis to get the documents.
00:29:59.420 We figured that out.
00:30:00.480 I was talking with Christine about that yesterday or two days ago.
00:30:02.800 We got to go to Memphis.
00:30:03.720 I'm probably going to send her over there to get him.
00:30:05.440 Can you review the Jared Foggle?
00:30:06.660 Yep, I will do that as well.
00:30:08.680 All right, let's keep going.
00:30:10.260 But that just wouldn't be exciting TV, now, would it?
00:30:13.840 With that being said, we'll try to break down what a typical day consists of.
00:30:19.080 Your work hours will vary greatly based on your assignments.
00:30:22.840 Extreme power goes, Fetty is coming for you.
00:30:24.540 No, he's not, bro.
00:30:25.080 He don't care about that, girl.
00:30:26.480 Don't be stupid.
00:30:28.000 We already, I got the insider stuff.
00:30:29.480 Nobody cares.
00:30:30.700 Jamal Hicks.
00:30:31.540 Five bucks.
00:30:31.900 I want to work for CBP, however, I failed the polygraph ties.
00:30:34.120 The first time I failed was because of a high felony crime.
00:30:37.680 What the fuck?
00:30:39.980 Yeah, bro.
00:30:40.700 I'll tell you this right now.
00:30:42.180 The CBP polygraph, most people fail it.
00:30:45.820 Most people fail it.
00:30:46.400 I think it has something crazy like a 70% failure rate or something wild like that, and they've
00:30:49.620 been trying to fix it for a while.
00:30:51.000 And the reason for that is because there was a lot of corruption within CBP about a decade
00:30:54.960 ago.
00:30:55.220 So they started instituting some pretty serious personnel background checks, and one of them
00:30:59.820 is a polygraph, and that polygraph is very difficult.
00:31:01.860 A lot of people fail it.
00:31:03.260 And I'll be honest, everybody knows the polygraph is bullshit, but it is what it is.
00:31:08.300 But yo, just keep applying, bro.
00:31:09.540 Don't give up.
00:31:10.180 Keep applying.
00:31:11.120 Keep applying.
00:31:12.280 And then congratulations to Fresh and Fit 900K subscribers.
00:31:14.500 Basketball practice.
00:31:15.280 Absolutely.
00:31:15.720 That's what we're talking about, baby.
00:31:16.520 But you'll start your day around 7 a.m. and work approximately 10 hours.
00:31:23.200 You'll have days that start much earlier than that, so you can attend a search warrant or
00:31:27.640 arrest briefing, and other days that will stretch into the late evening hours while you're conducting
00:31:32.800 a surveillance or just catching up on paperwork.
00:31:35.420 I'll be honest with y'all.
00:31:36.800 When I was on the job, I didn't start, I didn't go into the office until like 1 or 2 p.m.
00:31:41.300 in the afternoon.
00:31:41.980 And that's because I would be up late at night, you know, whether it was writing reports,
00:31:46.980 surveillance, whatever it may be.
00:31:48.260 So the only time I would be up at 7 o'clock to work is if we're going to go arrest somebody
00:31:52.520 at 6 a.m.
00:31:53.500 That was the only way I would be up early like that, to execute a warrant.
00:31:56.800 Because when you do search warrants and arrest warrants, typically 6 a.m.
00:31:59.820 We got here in Montreal, Rather goes, thanks for the show.
00:32:03.000 Glad everything is still in one piece.
00:32:04.980 After the other night, Hope called the police on that crazy check after making that threat.
00:32:08.560 Man, bro, y'all think I'm scared of what like a ratchet with a wig has to say?
00:32:11.980 Bro, I've been, I've been literally sitting across the table from Sicarios that were killing
00:32:16.500 Mexican Marines, bro.
00:32:17.640 Like these, these clowns don't scare me whatsoever.
00:32:20.440 Bobo 89 go, can you do one on Tyga?
00:32:22.140 You kicked his baby mom out.
00:32:24.140 Did I?
00:32:24.980 I don't think I did.
00:32:26.220 Next interrogation.
00:32:26.980 Tell the suspects if they don't talk, you'll bring Big Mo to do the trust fall on them.
00:32:30.200 Yeah.
00:32:30.360 Thank you very much, Big Mo.
00:32:31.440 Hey, yo, also.
00:32:34.680 Real quick announcement for you guys.
00:32:35.900 You guys have been asking for it, but since Big Mo's in the house, I'll let y'all know.
00:32:38.300 So we are going to go ahead and start putting these podcasts on anchor for you guys.
00:32:42.380 So go ahead.
00:32:43.780 We're going to, Mo's making the account right now.
00:32:47.140 Mo's going to be managing that anchor account.
00:32:48.880 So we are going to go ahead and start putting Fedit on anchor so that you guys can listen
00:32:52.560 to it in your vehicle.
00:32:53.600 I've been getting an overwhelming amount of requests for that.
00:32:55.700 So I got y'all.
00:32:56.700 We're going to start posting our Fedit episodes on there as well.
00:33:00.540 We got y'all, man.
00:33:01.420 Thank you guys for the support.
00:33:02.600 We always give the people what they want.
00:33:03.700 Let's keep going with this thing right now.
00:33:05.960 Shout out to Big Mo, by the way.
00:33:08.300 More on the paperwork later.
00:33:12.880 Like we said, though, your hours will vary greatly.
00:33:16.360 So don't expect to punch a time clock and be home for dinner every single day because
00:33:20.300 you won't.
00:33:21.620 As a special agent, you will be issued a government owned vehicle or GOV as we like to call it.
00:33:28.160 Your GOV will be your transportation to and from work.
00:33:31.400 Nobody calls it a GOV, guys.
00:33:32.720 They call it a G ride.
00:33:34.080 OK, no one calls it a fucking GOV.
00:33:35.960 Like that's the official term for it.
00:33:37.640 But everyone calls it, yo, the G ride, the G ride.
00:33:40.380 That's how they call it.
00:33:41.560 And it's essentially your office on wheels.
00:33:44.780 Your desk will more times than not be a cubicle.
00:33:47.460 We call our offices cubicle cities because it's just rows and rows of cubicles.
00:33:53.060 It's loud and busy with activity.
00:33:54.900 In your G ride, guys, you typically want to keep, you know, extra set of clothes in there.
00:33:59.780 You want to have, you know, a go bag, which basically has more extra magazines, handcuffs,
00:34:06.900 forms, right?
00:34:07.840 Like in my, you know what, guys, I might have a go bag here still.
00:34:11.020 You know what?
00:34:11.400 Let me see.
00:34:12.620 Go ahead.
00:34:13.080 I might have a treat for y'all.
00:34:14.060 Give me one second.
00:34:14.620 Let's I'll keep playing this.
00:34:15.560 Again, it's not like you see on TV where every agent has a corner office with a view
00:34:21.420 of the city and the furniture is ultra modern.
00:34:25.180 Everything will be very standard and government-like.
00:34:28.720 Like most jobs, you'll start your day by checking your email and voicemail.
00:34:33.460 Then you'll check to see if you have any new assignments or cases assigned to you.
00:34:38.040 Every agency uses some sort of case management database.
00:34:40.960 And that is how you'll keep track of your ongoing cases.
00:34:44.620 You will manage a dozen or more cases at a time, depending on your agency and assignment.
00:34:49.380 And your cases will all be at different stages in the investigation process.
00:34:54.200 It's up to you to manage all of them.
00:34:56.020 So good multitasking skills is a must.
00:34:59.240 Now that you're all coming.
00:35:00.440 Now, when I was an agent myself, I had a bunch of different cases.
00:35:02.900 I had a bunch of cases that like, you know, sometimes they get passed down to you from
00:35:06.200 people that leave or you have your own cases where you're, you know, proactive,
00:35:10.300 which means you like, you're going out there, you're talking to your informants,
00:35:12.920 you're making the case happen.
00:35:14.080 Then you got other cases where you were requested by another agency to help out,
00:35:18.560 whatever it may be.
00:35:19.500 So like for us, for HSI, we get a lot of requests from like CBP, Office of Air,
00:35:22.860 Marine, Border Patrol, whatever it may be.
00:35:24.100 If they catch someone doing some shit, they'll call you as the investigator,
00:35:26.740 so you'll come in and you'll take the case over.
00:35:28.700 So it depends.
00:35:30.520 If you're caught up with the administrative stuff,
00:35:32.320 you might have some other things on your schedule,
00:35:34.560 like attending a classified meeting or briefing,
00:35:38.220 testifying in a court hearing,
00:35:39.520 preparing for an upcoming trial,
00:35:42.660 conducting a search or arrest warrant with your team,
00:35:45.720 meeting with informants or gathering evidence on one of your various...
00:35:49.120 Now, let me say this classified meetings, guys.
00:35:51.340 I mean, unless you work for the FBI, a lot of times you're not going to be doing classified stuff.
00:35:55.420 And honestly, guys, classified shit, it is not as sexy as people tell you.
00:36:00.140 It is virtually, it is useless.
00:36:01.720 You can't use it in trial.
00:36:02.680 You can't use it in court.
00:36:03.400 So, you know, oh, it's classified.
00:36:06.940 It's a waste of time.
00:36:08.200 It's literally a waste of time.
00:36:09.400 99% of the time, it's a waste of time.
00:36:11.220 If you're doing classified stuff, you can't do big criminal cases.
00:36:14.740 It just doesn't work that way.
00:36:17.860 You'll need to gather evidence on all of your investigations.
00:36:21.180 That part is up to you.
00:36:22.260 Special agents are fact finders and collectors of...
00:36:26.060 Real quick, someone goes,
00:36:27.220 Sorry, it was Fetty Wap's baby mama.
00:36:28.740 Can you do one on him?
00:36:29.480 I already did one on Fetty Wap, guys.
00:36:31.500 Actually, I perfectly called it that he was going to have to plead guilty.
00:36:35.940 So, I already did Fetty Wap's drug case.
00:36:37.700 They caught him quite a bit, you know.
00:36:39.940 He was involved in a big conspiracy.
00:36:41.860 Information.
00:36:43.540 You'll gather evidence by interviewing suspects, witnesses, victims, and confidential informants.
00:36:49.160 Performing surveillance, obtaining copies of court records, and various other methods.
00:36:55.760 But your typical day could also consist of training.
00:36:58.780 Because as a special agent, your training never ends.
00:37:02.120 Your training could consist of online training regarding legal updates.
00:37:05.940 Or physical training like firearms qualifications, updated arrest tactics, or practicing surveillance techniques.
00:37:14.340 And then there's the paperwork.
00:37:15.860 As a special agent, you will be doing lots and lots of paperwork.
00:37:20.820 And real quick, just to show y'all what I mean when he says paperwork, right?
00:37:24.520 So, this right here, guys.
00:37:26.080 I got this fucking treat for y'all, man.
00:37:31.200 So, this bad boy right here.
00:37:32.800 I've had this since, man, for like eight years now.
00:37:36.100 I've had this since like 2014 when I was an agent in Laredo, Texas.
00:37:39.460 And I'll show you guys what this is.
00:37:40.460 So, this right here, I carried this everywhere with me, guys.
00:37:45.460 Everywhere, okay?
00:37:47.080 And what it was is, it's kind of like a binder slash notebook thing, whatever.
00:37:52.120 And I'm going to show you guys exactly what it was.
00:37:53.880 So, number one, if I was interviewing a bad guy, I would just pull this little tab right here.
00:37:57.880 Bam.
00:37:58.560 Boom.
00:37:59.420 Notepad.
00:38:00.180 Pen and paper, right?
00:38:01.600 Ready to go take my notes.
00:38:02.760 I actually have some old notes here from a case from back in the day, right?
00:38:06.020 Then, if you open it up, I have it nice and organized.
00:38:13.240 As y'all can see there, I have a bunch of different tabs, okay, of forms, okay?
00:38:19.880 You can't see exactly what it is, but I got like different forms right there that I would use.
00:38:24.380 All nice and organized, okay?
00:38:26.660 One of those forms was a Miranda form, okay?
00:38:33.240 When you arrest somebody, you have to read them their rights, right?
00:38:35.300 This, my friends, is what a Miranda form looks like right here, okay?
00:38:41.000 I told y'all I was out on these streets, baby!
00:38:47.200 And, you know, you read them their rights, right, when you got them in custody or whatever.
00:38:52.580 I have like bio forms, right, where you take their personal information.
00:38:56.080 I got consent to search forms if you want to search their house.
00:38:59.000 I got seizure forms, electronic consent forms to search their phones, jail paperwork when you drop them off to the marshals.
00:39:07.140 What else here?
00:39:08.120 30-day destruction letters.
00:39:09.580 All this stuff, man.
00:39:10.920 So, you had to be ready, right?
00:39:13.460 And this thing went everywhere with me, guys.
00:39:15.680 Anytime I was going to go interview a bad guy, debrief an informant, or I was showing up to any type of case, I would show up with this.
00:39:22.020 And I had all my forms.
00:39:22.920 This would always be in my G-Ride, okay?
00:39:26.360 So, you know, you got to be prepared.
00:39:28.600 You got to be squared away as an agent.
00:39:29.760 You got to have all your stuff ready to go.
00:39:31.020 You got to be ready.
00:39:33.380 But that was really cool going through that.
00:39:35.860 I haven't opened that in a few years now.
00:39:38.420 So, that's why I love this channel.
00:39:40.080 You guys really be helping me go down memory lane on this thing.
00:39:42.100 We'll be right back.
00:40:12.760 You'll submit a very detailed plan that will be submitted to your supervisor for approval before any action can be taken.
00:40:19.620 If you want to take out money to pay your confidential informant, you will need to fill out a form or submit a memo explaining in detail the reason for your request.
00:40:28.240 And all of that paperwork has to be approved, sometimes by multiple supervisors, and then uploaded into the case management system, and then a paper copy is saved in a physical case file.
00:40:38.220 So, it's frustrating at times because you'll get bogged down with administrative tasks and paperwork.
00:40:44.700 But that's just...
00:40:45.400 Unless you're Myron Gaines.
00:40:49.040 Administrative paperwork? Fuck that!
00:40:50.880 ...part of working for the government.
00:40:52.020 You get the point, though.
00:40:54.580 Everything in the federal government is documented, and there seems to be a policy and procedure for everything.
00:41:00.240 Again, that's not a bad thing.
00:41:02.120 It's just how the government operates.
00:41:04.240 Everything is very calculated and precise for good reason.
00:41:07.260 And inevitably, during your day, you will receive phone calls, more emails, text messages, and requests for assistance.
00:41:14.820 The public will call your office with various questions and for guidance on all sorts of issues.
00:41:19.920 Oh, I'll tell you this.
00:41:20.920 Like, not only will the public call you, sometimes, right?
00:41:23.800 If you're, like, the duty agent, right?
00:41:25.400 That means, like, you're the guy on call.
00:41:27.220 You'll get all kinds of crazy-ass things.
00:41:28.760 Yo, they're following me!
00:41:29.740 I don't know what's going on!
00:41:30.620 Ah!
00:41:31.120 Like, weirdos fucking hit you up or whatever.
00:41:33.100 So, or they'll walk into the office, and they'll ask, like, weird-ass questions of, like, yo, what the hell?
00:41:37.320 So, you got to deal with all that stuff, man.
00:41:38.800 So, anytime you're the on-call guy, who knows what the hell's going to happen.
00:41:46.040 Also, during the day, some special agents will engage in some sort of physical activity.
00:41:51.440 Agents are allowed one hour per day for physical fitness, and some offices have dedicated gym facilities on site.
00:41:58.620 You will also get pulled during the day to help other agents out with their cases.
00:42:02.660 As a special agent, you will rarely do anything investigative-wise by yourself, and you will...
00:42:08.100 Yeah, that is true.
00:42:09.440 With HSI, I think they gave you three hours a week or four hours a week to train.
00:42:13.860 Like, you could do it on hours.
00:42:16.440 So, that was really cool, too.
00:42:18.440 And a lot of time knocking on doors and talking with people.
00:42:21.560 You must...
00:42:22.040 And, yeah, that's also, too, guys, you're never going to go and do anything by yourself.
00:42:25.020 You always need to witness with you.
00:42:25.960 So, anytime you watch a movie and you see an agent go and meeting with an informant by themselves
00:42:29.200 or doing an interview by themselves, that shit doesn't work.
00:42:32.180 You always need to go with someone else.
00:42:33.580 It doesn't have to be another agent.
00:42:34.520 It could be like a, you know...
00:42:35.980 It could be like a, you know, another police officer.
00:42:39.100 It could be someone else that's involved in law enforcement or whatever.
00:42:41.600 But you never go and do any type of investigative activity by yourself.
00:42:44.980 You always need a witness.
00:42:45.760 So, anytime you watch a movie and it's a detective going by himself to meet an informant,
00:42:48.540 that right there, my friends, is a big...
00:42:50.640 Not good, okay?
00:42:51.760 You always have good interpersonal skills to be successful.
00:42:56.000 So, that's just the typical stuff a special agent might do in a day.
00:42:59.500 But as your career progresses, you will often become specialized in a certain area
00:43:03.840 and your daily activities will change.
00:43:07.000 For instance, you might be part of a violent crime or drug task force,
00:43:11.500 a member of the SWAT or special response team.
00:43:14.480 Violent crime and drug task forces are fun.
00:43:16.660 That's when you're, like, kicking in doors and you're going after the most dangerous of people.
00:43:19.540 You might specialize in undercover operations.
00:43:23.620 Be assigned to the public affairs office.
00:43:25.600 Oh, fuck no.
00:43:26.240 Public affairs, bro?
00:43:28.040 Hell no.
00:43:28.760 That's where they put the useless agents.
00:43:30.660 They usually put the...
00:43:32.540 They put the idiots and the bimbos over in a public affairs, guys.
00:43:38.020 Those are the people that deal with the press.
00:43:39.280 Those are the people that can't really run cases.
00:43:40.900 Those are the weirdos.
00:43:42.840 Or be a part of...
00:43:43.480 The useless agents go there.
00:43:44.860 ...of the training or recruitment division.
00:43:46.620 The list of specializations goes on for days.
00:43:50.580 But the point is that your daily responsibilities will change as your career progresses
00:43:54.760 and you begin to follow what really interests you as an agent.
00:43:58.880 But every agency is different.
00:44:00.880 So your experience might be different.
00:44:02.420 So, now your day is over.
00:44:05.800 Or is it?
00:44:07.240 You see, as a special agent, you'll be issued a smartphone.
00:44:11.300 And that means emails, phone calls, and text messages are coming in...
00:44:15.000 Shout out to my boy, fucking Daquan Wilshire.
00:44:18.600 My ninja right there, man.
00:44:20.140 He's going to be here in October for a freshest birthday, man.

00:44:37.200 And he's also been busting his ass in the gym looking really good.
00:44:39.460 Pause.
00:44:40.580 So, yeah.
00:44:41.100 Go check him out, man.
00:44:41.840 Good friend of ours.
00:44:45.000 Yeah, so that's pretty, that's a very good overview, accurate overview of what it's like.
00:45:14.420 You know, every agency is different, guys.
00:45:15.820 So, obviously, depending on who you work for, that's going to dictate a lot of, you know, how you do things.
00:45:22.440 So, but in general, that's a very good assessment of what it's like to be a criminal investigator slash special agent slash 1811 in the U.S. government.
00:45:30.480 Okay.
00:45:30.720 So, now that you guys know what HSI is, you guys know what special agents do, now we're going to go ahead and go over a case that I did back in 2018, guys, okay?
00:45:39.060 This was a human smuggling case that I got from Customs and Border Protection OFO.
00:45:44.280 Now you guys are probably, not OFO, sorry, Air and Marine.
00:45:46.680 So, I'm going to introduce you guys real quick to who these guys are, Air and Marine.
00:45:50.580 Air and Marine, okay?
00:45:53.020 This is them right here, okay?
00:45:54.640 These guys, think of them as the eyes and ears of Customs and Border Protection on the water and in the air, okay?
00:46:01.780 Let me see here.
00:46:02.740 Let me, where's their Wikipedia?
00:46:05.200 Here, because if I go on their website, you know, government-run websites aren't as informative.
00:46:10.300 Air and Marine, AMO.
00:46:13.560 So, okay, so this is them.
00:46:15.220 But first, before we get into it, let's go ahead and go through this indictment, okay?
00:46:20.520 So, I'm going to go ahead and share screen over here.
00:46:25.660 My bad.
00:46:27.100 Share.
00:46:27.760 Stop.
00:46:28.380 Okay.
00:46:29.020 So, this case, like I told you all before, guys, was a human smuggling case, maritime human smuggling, which means it was done on the water, okay?
00:46:35.860 The person's name was Stanley Roll, a Bahamian, okay?
00:46:40.820 And that is a very common last name, because I can't tell you how many people I arrested that had the last name Roll.
00:46:46.420 But this is what he, this is the indictment, okay?
00:46:48.100 And you guys know an indictment is a formal charge from the U.S. government.
00:46:51.520 A grand jury went ahead and listed to the case and indicted him, okay?
00:46:55.020 So, this is one of the cases I did myself.
00:46:57.440 So, as you can see, 8USC, 1324, 8USC, 1324, A1A, all these different things.
00:47:01.620 You guys are probably wondering, what the fuck is 8USC?
00:47:04.620 8USC, guys, is the Immigration and Nationality, or the INA, okay?
00:47:09.480 8USC, typically, if you've ever seen anything that says 8USC, it's going to be an immigration violation to some degree, okay?
00:47:18.300 And in this case, 8USC, 1324 is human smuggling or alien smuggling, all right?
00:47:22.020 And then all these subsets is, like, conspiracy or, you know, inducement, whatever it is.
00:47:27.240 Like, it, like, you know, it specifies it a little bit.
00:47:30.100 But 8USC, 1324, in general, is human smuggling.
00:47:33.820 1326 is illegal reentry.
00:47:35.160 And then 1327 is, I think, when you bring in an illegal alien that's a felon.
00:47:38.700 But let's double check.
00:47:39.900 So, here's the indictment.
00:47:40.760 He got hit with count one.
00:47:42.140 Conspiracy to induce and to encourage and induce aliens to enter the United States.
00:47:46.080 This is his name, right?
00:47:48.020 Then the second, counts 2 through 17, encouraging and inducing aliens to enter the United States, okay?
00:47:53.980 And these are the aliens that he smuggled into the U.S.
00:47:55.800 The reason why they wrote out these two guys' names and they used initials for these other guys is because these guys were convicted felons, guys, okay?
00:48:02.760 Since these guys were convicted felons, it's an extra charge if you smuggle in illegal aliens that are convicted felons, all right?
00:48:08.920 And then next was counts 18 through 33, bringing aliens to the United States for commercial and private financial gain.
00:48:14.220 What does that mean?
00:48:14.960 Well, guys, I've told you guys this before.
00:48:16.560 I'll say it one more time.
00:48:18.100 Human smuggling is a business, guys.
00:48:20.180 If you ever see an illegal alien in the United States, 9 out of 10 times, they were professionally smuggled into the United States through some type of illicit criminal organization.
00:48:28.680 I'll explain.
00:48:29.940 Let's say I'm a dude from China, okay?
00:48:33.420 My name is Ling Ping.
00:48:35.520 We canceled yet?
00:48:37.460 No?
00:48:38.480 All right, we're still here.
00:48:39.260 All right, cool.
00:48:39.900 So, let's say I'm an illegal alien from China, right?
00:48:42.100 All jokes aside.
00:48:42.800 And I want to come into the United States.
00:48:44.820 Well, right, I need to pay a smuggler in China to get me over to the United States.
00:48:50.180 I might get smuggled in through the Bahamas, through Maritime, or I might get smuggled in more commonly through Mexico, okay?
00:48:56.040 So, now I pay my smuggler in China.
00:48:58.380 I got a contact there.
00:48:59.840 He pays somebody else to get me from China to a transit country.
00:49:04.120 Now, a transit country, guys, a lot of times is somewhere like Mexico, the Bahamas, or South America where they can stage you, prepare you, and then move you into the United States.
00:49:12.080 So, for this example, let's use Mexico.
00:49:14.120 I go ahead.
00:49:15.000 I pay money to a smuggler.
00:49:16.920 He facilitates my travel to Mexico, right?
00:49:19.040 He hooks me up with hotels, et cetera, and he's in contact with smugglers in Mexico.
00:49:23.100 This is an illicit network.
00:49:24.160 Everybody knows each other, right?
00:49:25.560 So, he goes ahead, gets me to Mexico.
00:49:28.240 I'm paying, by the way, the whole way.
00:49:30.300 I'll tell you guys right now, the going rate for a Chinese national to come to the United States is typically between $50,000 to $60,000.
00:49:37.040 One more time for that.
00:49:38.300 Yes, I said that right.
00:49:39.340 The going rate for a Chinese national to be smuggled into the United States from Mexico, the going rate is somewhere between $50,000 to $60,000, $70,000, okay?
00:49:50.500 U.S.
00:49:51.460 So, by the time they get to Mexico, they're probably already in $20,000 to $30,000, all right?
00:49:55.840 So, they get to Mexico, and then they're moved north.
00:49:58.380 As they're moved north, they pay more and more money to different smugglers in the organization, okay?
00:50:04.440 There's different types of people at different levels.
00:50:06.680 So, once they get to the border, right?
00:50:08.280 Like, let's say in Laredo, you got Nuevo Laredo, which is across the border from Laredo, Texas, right?
00:50:12.600 Once they're there, they got to pay the final payment pretty much.
00:50:15.700 And what that is is that they're going to pay their smuggler to help them cross the river and into the United States and get in a vehicle and then get them to a stash house once in the United States, okay?
00:50:25.280 But that's just one example of Chinese.
00:50:26.860 I know some of you guys are probably saying, yo, why do Chinese get charged more?
00:50:30.480 The reason why Chinese get charged more, guys, as I get a sip of my thing here.
00:50:34.680 This is how it goes.
00:50:39.760 Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, Arabs, anyone from the Middle East in general, those are considered exotics.
00:50:47.140 Aliens from these types of country, guys, Russians, right?
00:50:51.480 Aliens from these countries have to pay more because there's a security risk to the human smuggling organizations.
00:50:57.280 They're smuggling someone who is of a different nationality, which brings more law enforcement attention to them,
00:51:02.420 not only in their home country of Mexico or wherever it may be, but it puts them at risk for their entire smuggling organization moving aliens like this.
00:51:09.860 So what ends up happening is one of two things.
00:51:11.940 Either A, you got specialized smugglers that only deal with that nationality of aliens, okay?
00:51:16.240 So you got a lot of Chinese nationals, for example, that only smuggle Chinese nationals,
00:51:19.640 and they live in Mexico and they facilitate the transportation of said aliens,
00:51:22.220 or you have Mexican human smuggling organizations that will go ahead and take these Chinese,
00:51:28.860 but they're going to charge them a premium, okay?
00:51:31.200 Because it makes their entire or it opens their organization up to be susceptible to law enforcement.
00:51:37.500 Because even though police are corrupt in Mexico, it's one thing for them to turn a blind eye towards another Mexican.
00:51:42.380 It's another thing for them to turn a blind eye towards a Chinese individual, okay?
00:51:45.980 So that's why they charge them.
00:51:47.400 So going back to what I was saying, human smuggling, guys, is a business.
00:51:51.220 Anytime you see a smuggler moving aliens into the United States, typically it's for commercial or private gain,
00:51:56.580 which comes back to this indictment right here that we're talking about.
00:51:59.180 It's always going to be involved with money, okay?
00:52:03.900 And then, so they're saying that, you know, he went ahead and got commercial gain,
00:52:09.360 and they're using these aliens as witnesses because these aliens actually paid him, right?
00:52:12.560 And then we got conspiracy to allow, procure, and permit certain aliens to enter the United States.
00:52:17.560 Then you got illegal entry of a removed alien.
00:52:19.640 Okay, so this is a big one right here, guys.
00:52:20.960 If you've been removed from the United States prior and you come back in,
00:52:24.440 you get hit with something called 8-USC-1326, which is a felony, okay?
00:52:27.900 The first time you're removed is 1325, which is a misdemeanor.
00:52:31.240 1326, however, is you've been removed or deported, and you come back, okay?
00:52:35.700 And this guy, Stanley, he had been arrested in 2011, et cetera.
00:52:40.200 He had cases prior to when I arrested him, okay?
00:52:43.000 Then you got count 36, illegal entry of a removed alien, again, right?
00:52:46.980 Because this guy was a removed alien, right?
00:52:49.660 And then forfeiture allegations, like, because he got caught with a bunch of money.
00:52:52.820 We seized $23,400 from this guy.
00:52:55.680 So we ended up seizing that.
00:52:57.360 We took his boat, 25-foot hydrosport vessel bearing Florida registration number, et cetera,
00:53:02.100 and we took all anything else that he might have had.
00:53:06.440 And you guys can see, we seized it.
00:53:08.520 As you guys can see, he got indicted.
00:53:09.980 This was the AUSA right here, Phillip Jones, nice guy.
00:53:12.540 We got a true bill, and he got indicted on November 8, 2018.
00:53:16.900 And I remember because the way grand jury works, guys, is, you know,
00:53:20.640 when someone's about to get indicted, right, I take all my information,
00:53:24.620 I present it to AUSA, we get a grand jury day.
00:53:27.520 I walk in there, I'm, you know, suited up or whatever.
00:53:29.600 I sit down, and then I basically explain the case to the grand jury.
00:53:32.700 The grand jury hears the case.
00:53:34.080 They deliberate.
00:53:35.260 And then, you know, assuming you have enough probable cause,
00:53:37.820 what you do if you're doing a grand jury in the first place,
00:53:39.540 you go ahead and you get that true bill.
00:53:41.880 Once you get that true bill of indictment,
00:53:43.500 the judge issues an arrest warrant for the individual.
00:53:46.060 You take that arrest warrant, and you go get him.
00:53:48.100 And I'm going to explain to you guys how we went to go get him in a second.
00:53:51.640 So let's go ahead and go into the factual proffer, okay, guys,
00:53:56.020 what led to this investigation.
00:53:57.980 And we got 961 of you guys in here.
00:54:00.080 Do me a favor and like the video, please.
00:54:01.980 I would really appreciate that.
00:54:03.500 Let me make sure I didn't miss any of you guys here.
00:54:05.420 It's a one-man show today.
00:54:07.100 Karan Kaur, shout-out to you.
00:54:08.200 Welcome.
00:54:09.280 I could pay off my student loans.
00:54:10.800 Yeah, facts.
00:54:12.260 Yeah, I know, I know, bro.
00:54:13.780 The Chinese pay a lot.
00:54:15.080 Arabs pay a lot, too, man.
00:54:15.980 I've seen aliens pay between $50,000 to $100,000, guys,
00:54:18.460 to get smuggled in, depending on the country that they're from.
00:54:20.620 The more exotic the country, the more the smugglers charge.
00:54:23.900 Guyana, cool.
00:54:27.260 Yeah, man.
00:54:27.740 Yeah.
00:54:27.980 Guys, I'm an expert when it comes to human smuggling and drug trafficking.
00:54:31.380 That's what I did, you know what I mean?
00:54:32.700 When it comes to Mexican cartels and how illegal aliens and drugs are moved into the United States,
00:54:38.500 that is my expertise right there, okay?
00:54:42.100 So, anyway.
00:54:45.900 All right.
00:54:46.400 So, let's go ahead, and I'm going to read the facts of the investigation for y'all.
00:54:49.880 And let me go ahead and roll this.
00:54:51.640 And this is a case that I actually did, so this is really cool.
00:54:54.840 All right.
00:54:55.280 On October 24, 2018, in the Straits of Florida, aircraft from the United States Coast Guard,
00:55:01.620 U.S. Coast Guard, and Customs of Border Protection, CBP, detected a 25-foot boat,
00:55:06.800 U.S.-registered boat, approximately 19 nautical miles east of Hallover Inlet in the United States
00:55:11.380 contiguous zone, okay?
00:55:12.940 So, real quick, CBP, right?
00:55:15.260 It's AMO.
00:55:15.960 These guys right here, who I'm going to show you, let me just move this over.
00:55:20.920 These are the guys that went ahead and found the boat, okay?
00:55:23.340 Because they're doing routine patrols out there on the water, so they encountered this boat.
00:55:27.120 Air and Marine AMO is a federal law enforcement component within the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
00:55:31.000 and Agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security.
00:55:33.460 AMO's mission is to protect the American people and nation's critical infrastructure
00:55:36.180 through coordinated use of air and marine assets to detect, interdict, and prevent acts of terrorism
00:55:40.100 and the unlawful movement of people, illegal drugs, and other contraband toward or across the borders of the United States.
00:55:45.520 Air and Marine operations agents and officers are endowed with the authority to force Title VIII,
00:55:49.420 aliens and nationality, and Title XIX Customs of the United States Code,
00:55:52.040 in addition to the general law enforcement powers bestowed upon law enforcement agents.
00:55:56.320 So, as you guys can see, look, Title VIII, just like I told y'all, aliens, and then Title XIX Customs Authority.
00:56:01.240 So, basically, they have the authority to interdict both illegal people and illegal things into the United States, okay?
00:56:08.400 So, think of them as the police for the government on the water and in the air, okay?
00:56:17.580 To make sure that certain things don't make their way into the United States illegally, okay?
00:56:21.360 So, that's how they were able to find our friend here, Stanley Rowe.
00:56:24.420 And that is the defendant's name in this case, guys.
00:56:26.120 It's Stanley Rowe, okay?
00:56:27.660 So, and they found them about, where was it?
00:56:34.280 19 nautical miles east of Hallover Inlet in the United States Contiguous Zone.
00:56:37.860 All right, so let's go ahead.
00:56:38.780 I'll show y'all where that is, too, okay?
00:56:41.020 Hallover is a big inlet, guys, in the United States, in Miami, South Florida.
00:56:46.600 And lots of drugs in the 80s were brought in through this fucking inlet right here.
00:56:52.620 All right.
00:56:57.660 So, this is it right here on the map, okay?
00:57:02.280 So, if you guys back out here, right around, so, this is the inlet right here, okay?
00:57:11.980 As y'all can see, just to give you guys a big, here's Miami, right?
00:57:17.740 This is where he came in.
00:57:23.900 Okay.
00:57:27.660 Shit, where the hell did I, did I lose my thing?
00:57:29.980 Hallover Inlet.
00:57:33.860 Okay, right here.
00:57:35.220 This area right here, right?
00:57:36.320 So, you come right here, zoom out a little bit.
00:57:38.700 So, this is where they caught him.
00:57:40.360 They caught him about 20 miles out.
00:57:41.920 So, right around this area here, probably, right?
00:57:44.400 And he was coming, guys, from Bimini, which is, where the hell is Bimini?
00:57:52.440 It's supposed to be...
00:57:57.660 Okay, here we go.
00:57:59.020 This is where he came from, Bimini, all right?
00:58:00.780 And this is the Bahamas, guys, all right?
00:58:02.640 So, they caught him coming into the United States.
00:58:05.940 And this is only about, if I'm not mistaken, like 50 miles, okay?
00:58:11.220 So, they saw him coming in, AMO.
00:58:14.340 Now, you guys got a visual representation.
00:58:17.380 Upon spotting the law enforcement aircraft, the boat suddenly changed course and headed east away from land.
00:58:23.900 Law enforcement boats from the U.S. Coast Guard and CBP intercepted the boat 41 nautical miles east of Miami in international waters and boarded it.
00:58:30.640 So, he tried to come to the United States.
00:58:32.660 They caught him at about 19 miles in, right?
00:58:36.020 Close to the United States.
00:58:37.140 Then, he saw the police and he said, whoa, what the hell?
00:58:39.900 And he got the hell out of there.
00:58:40.780 He turned around in that boat and he went...
00:58:43.780 But they chased after him, right?
00:58:45.220 Coast Guard and CBP have very powerful boats.
00:58:47.200 So, they were able to catch up to him.
00:58:48.480 So, what happened is they went ahead and they boarded his boat.
00:58:51.680 Guys, on international waters, etc., maritime law, they're able to go ahead and do...
00:58:57.440 Board your boat and do inspections, okay?
00:59:00.640 Upon boarding the boat, officers encountered co-defendant Stanley W. Roll, who was operating the boat, and 16 other people consisting of three Haitian males, one Haitian female, one Chinese female, five Chinese male, five Dominican males, and one Panamanian male.
00:59:13.900 I'll tell you this right now.
00:59:14.700 These Chinese, I remember, each of them paid about $60,000 to be smuggled in the United States, guys.
00:59:19.100 That's how crazy it is.
00:59:20.140 Okay, and actually, now that I'm going through this, these Chinese, I was able to link them to a Chinese organized crime syndicate out of Miami and New York.
00:59:34.940 I remember now, these six Chinese that were caught.
00:59:38.940 Because I remember interviewing them, and they were involved in another case that I was working in the same time.
00:59:43.420 Remember how I told you guys back in, like, 2018?
00:59:46.260 2018, I think it was right around the time 6ix9ine got arrested.
00:59:50.080 In November, it was December of 2018, or January of 2019.
00:59:55.740 I went to New York to go ahead and do an Asian organized crime case.
00:59:59.440 I was up there for that.
01:00:00.460 And that these six aliens here were involved in that, okay?
01:00:03.600 Because I remember interviewing them.
01:00:04.620 So, yes, each of them paid about $50,000 to $60,000.
01:00:07.240 Then you got five Dominican males and one Panamanian male, okay?
01:00:10.940 Roll was provided his Miranda rights and admitted he was transporting the 16 people to an at-sea rendezvous with another boat.
01:00:17.240 He believed the 16 people were aliens who did not have legal permission to enter the United States and that he was going to be paid for transporting them.
01:00:23.320 Officers found $23,400 in cash on his person.
01:00:27.140 Roll stated the boat, aliens to transport, and cash were provided to him by a man in the Bahamas.
01:00:31.060 He threw his phone off the boat when his vessel was boarded by law enforcement.
01:00:34.740 Hmm.
01:00:36.240 Why did he do that, guys?
01:00:39.180 The reason why is because he didn't want the police to find evidence on his phone of him communicating with the other smugglers.
01:00:47.080 Because if he gets caught with that, that's an easy conspiracy charge to prove.
01:00:51.100 And he didn't want us to be able to identify the person that was involved in recruiting him in the smuggling of the said aliens, okay?
01:00:57.580 So he had $23,000 on him and the boat, okay?
01:01:01.780 And the aliens.
01:01:03.040 So all 17 people were transferred.
01:01:04.500 And remember, guys, Roll himself is an illegal alien.
01:01:06.400 He was a Bahamian national, okay?
01:01:08.720 All 17 people were transferred to a U.S. Coast Guard cutter for further identification.
01:01:12.800 Now, you guys might be wondering, what the hell is a U.S. Coast Guard cutter?
01:01:15.320 I got y'all right now.
01:01:16.960 It's a big boat that Coast Guard uses.
01:01:22.380 And I'll show you guys what one looks like right here.
01:01:25.080 This is it right here.
01:01:25.680 I've been on a couple of these, and typically when they catch someone, they put them on the Coast Guard cutter.
01:01:30.840 You know, it's huge, this thing.
01:01:32.740 And, you know, they process them.
01:01:34.040 They do biometrics, which means they check their status.
01:01:37.580 They see if they're illegal aliens, whatever it may be, right?
01:01:41.580 And so they went ahead and put them on the Coast Guard cutter.
01:01:44.640 Through checks of government databases, 16 people with Roe were confirmed to be aliens with no documents or permission to enter or remain in the United States legally.
01:01:50.840 All the people were then transferred to the ashore at Miami Beach, Florida, and transported to Dania Beach Border Patrol Station for processing.
01:01:58.300 Okay.
01:01:58.760 So I'll show you guys real quick U.S. Coast Guard, Miami Beach.
01:02:05.420 Okay.
01:02:05.860 And I would respond to them all the time.
01:02:07.400 And this is their base here.
01:02:10.700 And this is right on the causeway, by the way, guys.
01:02:13.280 Right?
01:02:14.580 This is it right here.
01:02:15.920 Nice little thing.
01:02:16.820 You pull off, right?
01:02:17.540 You get off the causeway.
01:02:18.400 You come here.
01:02:18.880 And then, bam, that's the Coast Guard base.
01:02:21.120 And anytime they bring aliens in, they bring them in here.
01:02:24.340 And then you do your thing.
01:02:26.080 Right?
01:02:26.400 And then Dania Beach, right?
01:02:27.920 They have a nice Border Patrol Station up there.
01:02:37.040 Yeah.
01:02:37.460 This is the Border Patrol Station in Dania Beach.
01:02:39.880 Okay?
01:02:40.340 Right here.
01:02:41.700 And this is all public information, guys.
01:02:43.240 This ain't nothing classified or whatever the hell.
01:02:45.140 Like, everybody knows this shit.
01:02:47.040 Okay?
01:02:47.280 You can Google it, as you guys can just see just there.
01:02:49.440 So, the defendant, Moreno Archibald, was among – because anytime they catch illegal aliens, guys, they give them to Border Patrol so that they can process them and put them in a detention center, which is – there's an immigration detention center in Pompano Beach.
01:03:02.040 Okay?
01:03:02.560 So, Border Patrol process them, and then they turn them over to enforcement removal operations who basically – think of them as, like, the immigration jail.
01:03:08.780 All right?
01:03:09.180 All the people were transported ashore to Miami Beach and transported to Dania Beach.
01:03:12.060 Now, at Dania Beach, right, that's where me and my people showed up, and we went to go interview everybody involved in the smuggling event.
01:03:19.840 So, when this went down, guys, they contacted us, and then we responded to do the investigation because, obviously, there was a human smuggling event that went on.
01:03:28.300 So, the defendant – one of the defendants was among the aliens found on board the boat with Roe, Moreno Archibald.
01:03:32.680 Based on biometrics, queries, immigration databases, other Department of Homeland Security databases, and files maintained by the U.S. CIS, it was determined that Moreno Archibald had been previously removed and deported from the United States to Panama on or about October 20, 2003 and on June 8, 2016.
01:03:47.680 Okay?
01:03:47.960 So, he was a felon, this guy, Moreno Archibald, and he had been removed before.
01:03:52.800 So, this was the facts of the case in general, right?
01:03:56.320 So, after that, guys, right, we went ahead, and we had the case with your boy, Stanley Rowe, okay?
01:04:07.500 And he did not want to plead guilty.
01:04:09.820 And I'll go ahead and share a screen with y'all real quick, show you guys what I'm talking about here.
01:04:14.100 Here is his case.
01:04:23.560 All right.
01:04:24.220 So, here he is right here.
01:04:25.600 I'm going to enlarge this here in a second.
01:04:26.840 Let me make sure that I got, I caught all you guys.
01:04:29.660 Jacob Akoko goes, like and subscribe, shout out to the members, shout out to all y'all ninjas.

01:04:39.300 And we're almost at 100,000 subscribers on this channel, man.
01:04:42.040 That'll help me get a plaque.
01:04:43.020 So, guys, subscribe to the channel if you haven't already.
01:04:46.040 Um, all right, cool.
01:04:52.000 Fresh would sound like Chris PB mouth explain.
01:04:55.160 Oh, man.
01:04:57.840 All right.
01:04:58.520 So, here he is right here, guys.
01:05:00.440 He's right now in McCray Correctional Institute in Georgia, right?
01:05:03.600 He ended up, uh, he ended up going to trial on this thing, okay?
01:05:06.200 And you guys know since he's in prison who won, but these are the charges that he got, right?
01:05:12.920 Uh, and then here's, like I said, uh, this is the AUSA that did the case, right?
01:05:16.520 Phillip Jones, really nice guy.
01:05:18.080 Uh, Brian Sattler, I remember him.
01:05:20.160 Um, and then Yanae Hernandez, I remember her as well.
01:05:22.420 She, she didn't like me too much, but it's all good.
01:05:27.520 All right.
01:05:28.020 So, where am I at here?
01:05:30.140 So, as you guys can see, this is all the, the stuff that went on for the case.
01:05:33.620 You guys can see it was, you know, long, all kinds of crazy shit here, right?
01:05:36.540 But that's how, how it goes.
01:05:39.200 Now, we're going to go ahead and go over the evidence, um, that was in the case, right?
01:05:44.440 So, let me go ahead and move this stuff over here for y'all.
01:05:49.320 All right.
01:05:50.580 So, this is the indictment.
01:05:52.140 Here's the witness list, okay?
01:05:53.700 So, these are guys that were involved in the case with me, right?
01:05:56.340 And they were the ones that had to testify.
01:05:58.060 I didn't have to testify because I was, um, because I was, uh, you know, the case agent.
01:06:05.080 So, typically, the case agent doesn't, doesn't, um, testify, right?
01:06:08.660 And then, here's the exhibit checklist, all right?
01:06:10.880 Now, this is the evidence that were used in the actual trial, guys, okay?
01:06:14.160 So, as you guys can see, you got, um, and see, the AUSA numbers it 1 through, 1A through 1G.
01:06:22.660 Photographs of GoFast Vessel, that's the boat that they seized, okay?
01:06:25.580 And, and you guys, here's the days that they got the pieces of evidence.
01:06:28.320 This is when I gave it to them, okay?
01:06:29.820 Because, let me explain something to you guys with trial, all right?
01:06:32.460 So, we caught this guy red-handed, right?
01:06:37.860 CBP went ahead and caught him.
01:06:39.780 Let me give you guys a little recap of the events.
01:06:42.260 CBP catches him.
01:06:43.780 He's trying to come to the United States.
01:06:45.220 He's about 20 nautical miles outside the United States.
01:06:47.680 CBP AMO sees him.
01:06:48.920 They're on boat.
01:06:49.960 He sees them.
01:06:50.840 He turns around.
01:06:51.340 He tries to run back to the Bahamas.
01:06:52.820 They catch up to him.
01:06:54.480 Stop him.
01:06:55.560 Get on the boat.
01:06:56.580 Find $23,000.
01:06:58.580 Find a bunch of illegal aliens.
01:06:59.860 Some Chinese from Panamanian, et cetera.
01:07:01.580 They arrest everybody.
01:07:03.560 Coast Guard pulls up.
01:07:04.620 They take those aliens and those individuals, put them on the Coast Guard cutter.
01:07:07.980 They do immigration checks.
01:07:09.000 They figure out that Stanley Roll had been arrested before.
01:07:11.720 They figured out that he threw his phone from, uh, overboard.
01:07:14.540 And they, uh, find out also that everyone's an illegal alien.
01:07:17.800 So, they go ahead.
01:07:18.660 They call HSI, right?
01:07:20.260 I was the duty agent that day.
01:07:21.820 Hey, you know, we got this, this, such and such going on, blah, blah, blah.
01:07:25.540 We're going to process the aliens and bring them over to the, to the, um, Miami,
01:07:28.940 the Miami beach coast guard station.
01:07:31.520 So, they bring them back.
01:07:32.980 Border patrol shows up, takes them into custody, brings them to the Dania beach border patrol
01:07:36.920 station.
01:07:37.400 When they get them to the border patrol station, me and my team show up.
01:07:40.320 I'm, I show up with like six or seven agents.
01:07:42.000 We interview all 17 people.
01:07:43.920 Uh, when we interview all 17 people, they all identify Stanley roll as the captain of
01:07:47.920 the boat and the smuggler.
01:07:49.060 Okay.
01:07:50.020 Then, uh, they also identify that they had paid him money.
01:07:53.240 They had went, they basically tell us the entire story of how they got to the Bahamas,
01:07:56.480 which it always falls along the lines of, I left my home country.
01:08:00.040 I this day, I paid this guy, this much money.
01:08:02.180 He got me to this country.
01:08:03.560 Then I paid another guy.
01:08:04.940 He got me to the Bahamas.
01:08:06.300 And then I met this guy.
01:08:07.700 And then he paid, then I paid him money.
01:08:09.220 And then he put me on the boat with Stanley roll.
01:08:10.660 That's typically how it goes.
01:08:11.760 Okay.
01:08:12.900 And every alien has a little bit of a different story, depending on where they came.
01:08:15.720 So the Chinese nationals all traveled together.
01:08:17.340 The Dominicans traveled together, you know, et cetera.
01:08:19.820 So anyway, we interview everybody there at that point, guys, I was like, okay, I got
01:08:26.240 to gather all my evidence and make sure that I got this thing rock solid.
01:08:29.280 So what did I do?
01:08:30.100 I let border patrol turn him over to enforce removal operations.
01:08:35.280 Okay.
01:08:35.840 The ice guys.
01:08:37.640 Now, while they were all sitting in immigration custody, I went to the prosecutor.
01:08:42.920 I said, yo, this is the case that I got.
01:08:44.340 This is the money I seized.
01:08:45.340 This is all the evidence I got.
01:08:47.040 Let's indict it.
01:08:48.020 He's like, cool.
01:08:48.680 You have enough.
01:08:49.340 Let's go ahead and indict it.
01:08:50.760 So we went to grand jury.
01:08:52.200 I testified.
01:08:53.500 We had the evidence that we needed.
01:08:55.260 Get a grand jury true bill of indictment.
01:08:58.720 I get an arrest warrant from the judge.
01:09:00.340 I go back to the immigration center, tell him, hey, I got a warrant for your arrest.
01:09:05.140 Cuff them up.
01:09:06.260 Cuff up the two aliens, the two guys that were felons.
01:09:10.160 Take them and put them in jail with the U.S. marshals.
01:09:13.400 Then that's when the time clock starts.
01:09:14.940 As soon as you arrest them, the clock starts.
01:09:16.380 Then he basically says, I'm not pleading guilty, which is rare, guys.
01:09:21.120 In the Fed system, they always plead guilty.
01:09:23.700 But this dude wanted to fight it because his argument was, I wasn't even in U.S. waters.
01:09:28.460 I was 20 miles away.
01:09:29.840 And then I turned around and went back.
01:09:31.520 Yasha never arrested me.
01:09:32.520 That was his argument.
01:09:33.600 Okay.
01:09:33.840 But in reality, he was in U.S. waters.
01:09:36.260 So stupid.
01:09:37.120 Anyway, terrible argument.
01:09:39.420 But he thought he had a case, so he didn't want to plead guilty.
01:09:42.560 And mind you guys, this was like the second or third time that he had been arrested.
01:09:45.340 So he was going to do some time if he got arrested again for this shit.
01:09:48.400 So he was like, I'm fighting it.
01:09:49.980 Okay.
01:09:50.260 So obviously, when you prepare for trial, guys, as the case agent, your job, right?
01:09:57.240 And the case agent is the main person that runs the case.
01:09:59.600 Your job is to get the witnesses ready and to get all the evidence and give it to the prosecutor so that the prosecutor can fight the case.
01:10:07.780 All right.
01:10:08.140 And since we're going to trial, we need to have our T's crossed and our I's dotted because he didn't want to plead guilty.
01:10:12.520 So here is the exhibit list here, guys, so that this all makes sense now.
01:10:17.980 Let me.
01:10:18.940 Boom.
01:10:19.660 All right.
01:10:20.260 And let me enlarge it for y'all real fast.
01:10:23.820 Okay.
01:10:24.180 This is what an exhibit list looks like when you go to trial.
01:10:26.640 All right.
01:10:27.220 Guys, like the video, by the way, because ain't nobody else going to be able to give you guys this type of sauce.
01:10:34.400 Sorry, guys.
01:10:34.920 It's really cold in here.
01:10:35.740 That's why I'm sniffing.
01:10:36.860 It really is cold.
01:10:37.820 It's hell in this apartment.
01:10:38.700 God damn it.
01:10:39.780 So this was the judge.
01:10:41.380 This was the AUSA.
01:10:42.680 The two AUSAs on the case.
01:10:44.240 And then this was the defendant's attorney, right?
01:10:46.760 So we got here photographs.
01:10:50.300 Right.
01:10:50.460 Then we got photographs of the seized currency.
01:10:52.160 Remember, it was $23,000.
01:10:53.620 Immigration documents for the 16 aliens.
01:10:55.340 What are those immigration documents?
01:10:56.460 Well, guys, whenever people are legal aliens, they get something called an alien registration number or an ARN.
01:11:02.540 Okay.
01:11:03.160 And that ARN is tied to that individual based on their fingerprints.
01:11:07.500 So, excuse me.
01:11:09.680 So we're able to establish that all those people that we caught, those Chinese, those Dominicans, whatever, none of them had legal right or authority to be in the United States.
01:11:18.140 All right.
01:11:18.340 So you have to show that, though, through the immigration documents.
01:11:21.200 Then recorded 26, 2018 interview with the defendant.
01:11:24.980 So on October 26, right, we went ahead and we interviewed the bad guy and he gave a statement.
01:11:31.100 And any time you interview somebody, guys, in the feds, you have to record the interview.
01:11:35.780 All right.
01:11:36.520 And then we had a transcript of the interview as well.
01:11:39.380 Right.
01:11:39.620 Any time you go to trial, you need a transcript of the interview.
01:11:42.800 And then we had a video of the interdiction and the video, guys, was from CBP AMO.
01:11:48.200 I actually remember going to their office specifically to get the video.
01:11:51.620 They're downtown in downtown Miami right by the password office.
01:11:56.620 Right.
01:11:56.940 So I went and got the video.
01:11:58.360 Then they got still frames from interdiction video.
01:12:00.440 So they had him on video getting arrested and they got still frames.
01:12:03.360 Then they got the conviction record for one of the aliens.
01:12:05.340 Because remember, guys, that's an important part of charging role was that he not only brought in illegal aliens, but he brought in two convicted felons.
01:12:11.980 These two guys right here.
01:12:13.240 OK, Ray de los Santos and Carlos Arturo Moreno Archibald.
01:12:16.060 These two guys were convicted felons and he brought them in.
01:12:18.660 That's another charge.
01:12:19.500 All right.
01:12:20.120 And then they brought the Miranda form.
01:12:23.200 OK, I know some of y'all are having fun with that with fresh in the chat.
01:12:27.020 Sign Miranda form 102418 and then the sign Miranda form 102618.
01:12:31.240 And Miranda form, guys, is this right here.
01:12:32.720 I'll show you.
01:12:35.660 I'm pulling out real quick.
01:12:36.780 I have it in my little kit right here.
01:12:40.920 And I'll read it to you out real quick, too.
01:12:42.720 This is what an HSI Miranda form looks like, unless they outdated it since I've been gone.
01:12:48.200 But this is it right here.
01:12:49.560 OK, as y'all can see, it says Statement of Rights.
01:12:52.600 OK, Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
01:12:55.320 Right.
01:12:55.900 So it goes before we ask you any questions in my duty to advise you of your rights, you have the right to remain silent.
01:13:01.020 Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law or other proceedings.
01:13:03.660 You have the right to consult an attorney before making any statement or answer any questions.
01:13:06.600 You have the right to have an attorney present with you during questioning.
01:13:08.800 If you can afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning.
01:13:11.700 If you wish, you decide to answer questions now.
01:13:13.840 You still have the right to start the questioning at any time or to start the questioning for the purpose of consulting an attorney.
01:13:18.100 And then if they say yes, you have them print their name.
01:13:21.940 Right.
01:13:23.120 Oh, hold on.
01:13:23.660 Let me make sure I got that.
01:13:24.640 And yeah, you have them print their name and you have a sign and then you have two witnesses.
01:13:29.240 OK, you yourself as a case agent typically and then someone who does the interview with you and then you date everything here.
01:13:34.960 And then here's the rights right here.
01:13:37.640 OK, so that's what the form looks like.
01:13:41.220 And any law enforcement agency has it pretty much the same as this.
01:13:43.840 So, like, let's say I did an interview with, like, DEA or something like that and I use this Miranda form, it's going to work.
01:13:48.040 If I'm with FBI and they use their Miranda form, it's going to work.
01:13:50.260 It doesn't matter.
01:13:50.720 It's all pretty much the same.
01:13:52.140 Every agency has different forms with that, where the wording is different a little bit.
01:13:55.560 But in general, they're all the same thing.
01:13:57.860 And you read them this and then you have them sign.
01:13:59.480 And then when you do have them sign, that, my friend, becomes what?
01:14:03.280 Evidence that they waived their rights and spoke to you.
01:14:06.180 OK, because if you don't have a Miranda form, let's say you get an interview.
01:14:09.940 Let's say you arrest a bad guy and you don't read him his rights.
01:14:12.180 And you ask him questions that might incriminate him.
01:14:14.920 Guess what?
01:14:15.540 That, my friend, is none of those statements come in because you didn't read them their Miranda rights.
01:14:23.700 OK.
01:14:26.460 All right.
01:14:27.160 And then you got map location of GoFast when discovered by CBP, map location of GoFast vessel when stopped by CBP and then judging convictions for the defendant.
01:14:35.180 Because remember, guys, he had been arrested before for this.
01:14:37.620 OK.
01:14:38.340 And then you got the factual proffer, which is what I just read to you guys right here.
01:14:42.900 OK.
01:14:45.240 So this is the exhibit checklist.
01:14:46.660 So this is what the prosecutor used against your boy Stanley W.
01:14:51.200 Roll.
01:14:52.060 Now, court transcript.
01:14:53.520 Now, as you guys know, we went to trial.
01:14:55.360 All right.
01:14:55.620 And what they did was they did a I got the court transcripts right here of the trial.
01:15:01.400 And what they did was they actually put my co-case agent on the investigation, Steve, on the stand.
01:15:07.760 And I'm going to go ahead and read this for you guys, how it works when you're on the stand.
01:15:11.040 OK.
01:15:11.960 So AUSA Hernandez, right?
01:15:13.920 She's this is direct.
01:15:15.200 This is what you call direct examination.
01:15:17.520 OK, guys, a direct examination is when let's say you're the agent and the prosecutor puts you on the stand.
01:15:24.680 It's direct examination because you guys are on the same team.
01:15:27.220 It's the government's witness.
01:15:28.300 Right.
01:15:28.500 Then cross-examination is when the defense attorney questions the government witness.
01:15:33.640 OK, this is why they never put like most defense attorneys will never put their client on the stand because, well, number one, they have a right to not testify, you know, to remain silent.
01:15:44.640 They don't have to say anything.
01:15:45.360 And the other reason is because let's say I go in and put my my client on the stand.
01:15:49.820 Well, now I also have to go ahead and have the prosecutor ask my client questions on the stand, which could be extremely problematic.
01:15:56.980 All right.
01:15:57.220 So Steve Cattrochie, having been duly sworn by the courtroom deputy, testified as follows.
01:16:03.580 OK, the witness, please have a seat and state your name for the record.
01:16:07.680 So he gives his name.
01:16:08.640 Right.
01:16:08.880 And then they say that USA says, good morning.
01:16:10.780 Can you tell us where you're employed?
01:16:11.860 He goes ahead and says I'm employed by Special Agent Homeland Security Investigations in Miami, Florida.
01:16:19.140 What are your duties and responsibilities as a special agent?
01:16:21.040 As a special agent, I'm tasked with investigating crimes involving Title 8, Title 19 of the United States Code and following immigration customs violations.
01:16:27.300 Now, guys, this is very common.
01:16:28.400 When they put you on the stand, they're going to ask you what you do.
01:16:31.720 Who are you employed by?
01:16:32.960 And what is your specialty slash what authorities do you invest?
01:16:35.600 What crimes you investigate?
01:16:36.660 OK, that's to set a baseline of who the hell you are, because remember, guys, the jury, they don't know what the fuck's going on.
01:16:41.800 They're just sitting there like, OK, you got it.
01:16:44.260 You got to almost dumb it down so that regular people, everyday citizens know what's going on.
01:16:48.500 OK, would that also include human smuggling?
01:16:50.920 It would.
01:16:51.460 And why are they asking him this?
01:16:52.280 Because this is a human smuggling trial.
01:16:53.720 And how long have you been working with HSI in this capacity since 2009?
01:16:57.160 And then they ask him, have you received any special training to become a special agent?
01:17:00.220 And he goes into his training, right?
01:17:01.740 Next, they ask him, now, let's turn to matter that brings us before the court today.
01:17:05.260 How did you first become involved in this case?
01:17:07.200 Boom.
01:17:07.540 Now let's get into it.
01:17:08.280 On October 24, 2018, I received a call from a possible migrant smuggling interdiction in Miami, Florida.
01:17:13.740 I responded to the United States Coast Guard Station in Miami Beach, Florida.
01:17:16.320 At that time, I then met up with other agents who were involved in the interdiction.
01:17:19.920 OK.
01:17:21.180 And at that time, did you see, and this is the AUSA, and at that time, did you see the vessel that was involved in human smuggling interdiction?
01:17:26.260 He goes, yes, I did.
01:17:27.500 And they go, and what did you do with the vessel, if anything?
01:17:31.440 Upon identification of the correct vessel, I went down there with Special Agent Aaron Rufato.
01:17:35.280 Hey, that's your boy right here, Myron Gaines, by the way.
01:17:38.280 Even though they misspelled my name, they misspelled my name.
01:17:44.060 It's not supposed to be an E at the end, but whatever.
01:17:46.880 And we processed the vessel, which includes searches for evidence and photographs of the vessel.
01:17:50.380 We also took the money as well.
01:17:51.860 We seized the money, and we put in evidence.
01:17:54.960 All right?
01:17:56.540 Then they go, okay, were you there when photographs of the vessel were taken?
01:17:59.840 Yes, I was.
01:18:00.760 And have you reviewed the photographs that were taken from the initial processing?
01:18:03.520 Yes, I have.
01:18:04.020 And are they a fair and accurate representation of vessel and contents of the vessel as they were when you saw them?
01:18:09.860 Yes, ma'am.
01:18:10.700 She goes, your honor.
01:18:11.500 May I have the Elmo by AUSA Hernandez?
01:18:13.980 Now I'm showing you what's been previously admitted into evidence as Government Exhibit 1A.
01:18:17.800 Can you tell us what the photograph Government Exhibit 1A depicts?
01:18:21.180 This is a photo of the vessel that was involved in interdiction, right?
01:18:24.360 So now I'm showing what's been previously admitted into evidence as Government Exhibit 1B.
01:18:28.100 Can you tell us what this photo is of?
01:18:30.000 Right?
01:18:30.260 So he goes ahead and he describes what's in there, the cabin, right?
01:18:34.700 And then let's see here.
01:18:36.580 Where else they asked him?
01:18:38.860 These are all pictures.
01:18:39.860 These are pictures, right?
01:18:42.700 Oh, okay.
01:18:43.260 Now this is important.
01:18:44.200 They ask him, do you recall how many life jackets were there?
01:18:46.540 Well, Myra, why are they asking how many life jackets there were?
01:18:49.400 Because that's a sentencing enhancement, guys, if he didn't have life jackets on the boat enough for all the aliens on the vessel, okay?
01:18:56.840 So that's a very important question.
01:18:58.620 He goes, I don't recall the exact amount.
01:19:00.000 There were a few of them out there looking from this photo.
01:19:02.000 I would say seven, maybe eight, right?
01:19:04.420 But that's big because that's not enough.
01:19:05.800 There were 17 of them on there.
01:19:07.500 Now can you make out?
01:19:08.400 I know it's kind of tough to see exactly, but can you make out what this is indicating item on the floor there?
01:19:13.840 No, I cannot.
01:19:14.620 Okay, now I'm going to show you what's been previously admitted into evidence as Government Exhibit 1D.
01:19:18.040 Now, what's this a photograph of?
01:19:20.440 This is a photograph of the back of the vessel.
01:19:22.060 There are like containers or storage areas, bin areas of the vessel, okay?
01:19:26.080 And the vessel is the boat, by the way, guys.
01:19:27.620 So they're going ahead and like making sure that, showing a picture of the vessel that he's aware of the vessel, right?
01:19:33.680 Now, let's move a little bit forward here, right?
01:19:36.900 And then they're showing pictures of the money because this is the money that we got from CBP AMO.
01:19:42.480 And then they're talking about the denominations of the bills, right?
01:19:49.680 $100 bills, $20 bills, et cetera.
01:19:52.580 And then they ask him more about the money.
01:19:56.240 And then, and I'm skimming through this guy so that like I don't bore you with the semantics because a lot of the times they're going to go and ask very similar questions multiple times.
01:20:06.200 They make sure that they cover every facet, right?
01:20:09.400 Okay, so they played, they played portions of the interview, okay?
01:20:19.300 So it goes here.
01:20:22.020 Okay, so now I move to admit government's exhibit 4B, actually, which has been previously admitted into evidence as government exhibit 4B.
01:20:27.740 And I'll direct the jurors to the, to the binders are in front of them.
01:20:30.920 They can following, they can follow the recorded conversation with the transcripts that they have in front of them.
01:20:36.060 And now the portion that I'm going to play is the portion that is, and then basically what they do is they play a portion of the interview that we had with the defendant, okay?
01:20:46.880 And then, let's see here.
01:20:51.120 And then, yeah, so they ask the agent, hey, can you see who's speaking?
01:20:53.900 He says, yes, that's my voice.
01:20:55.520 I'll pause there briefly.
01:20:56.520 Yes, ma'am, that was Roel.
01:20:57.920 Now, you guys are probably wondering, well, Roel, what the hell, like, what did he sound like?
01:21:00.940 He was a Bahamian guy, so he had a Bahamian accent.
01:21:03.900 Black guy, short, bald, I remember.
01:21:06.800 And then they go, the person who just said, can you speak up a tiny bit?
01:21:11.060 Can you identify that voice?
01:21:12.220 That was Special Agent Animal Photos.
01:21:13.240 That's me right there.
01:21:14.080 Because, yo, he was talking low as hell.
01:21:15.800 I told him, hey, bro, you got to speak a little bit louder, my friend.
01:21:17.660 We don't know what the hell you're saying, okay?
01:21:19.380 And then they continue playing the audio, the interview.
01:21:27.060 So I'm going to go ahead and fast forward here to the cross-examination, okay?
01:21:30.680 So, okay, so here we go.
01:21:32.760 The cross-examination, guys, is, again, like I said before, now, this is where the defense attorney is going to start grilling my guy, Steve, right?
01:21:39.700 Good morning, Special Agent.
01:21:40.820 And then Steve responds, good morning.
01:21:42.800 Sir, I'm going to be kind of, I'm going to kind of go and order what the prosecutor talked to you with,
01:21:49.120 starting with Exhibit 9B, which is the Miranda form.
01:21:51.740 Can you see the date of the Miranda form on your screen?
01:21:54.260 Yes, sir.
01:21:55.060 Is date October 26, 2018?
01:21:56.560 Is that correct?
01:21:57.400 And then the agent says, yes.
01:21:58.640 The interdiction of my client happened, fair to say, around 1130 on the 24th, right?
01:22:02.840 Yes, sir.
01:22:03.760 So this statement that he gives you actually happens many, many hours after the interdiction.
01:22:08.620 That's correct.
01:22:09.940 Okay.
01:22:10.680 And he gives you the statement at 1026, but it's not 1026 in the afternoon.
01:22:15.000 It's 1026 in, like, the very, very early morning hours, right?
01:22:18.280 See what he did there?
01:22:19.540 You guys catch that?
01:22:20.820 See that?
01:22:21.880 Fucking guy.
01:22:24.440 He's trying to make his defendant look like, yo, we woke him up early in the morning to interview him,
01:22:30.760 and he wasn't of sound mind, blah, blah, blah.
01:22:33.800 Correct.
01:22:34.240 If I recall, it's the early morning hours, 2 or 3 a.m., I think.
01:22:37.920 And my client, when he makes the statement, is in an interrogation room at HSI, right?
01:22:43.100 No.
01:22:43.600 He's at the United States Border Patrol Station.
01:22:45.500 In Dania Beach?
01:22:46.540 Yes, in Dania Beach.
01:22:47.260 Correct.
01:22:48.060 And this is the Border Patrol Station that's kept very, very cold for health and safety reasons.
01:22:52.500 See what he's doing here, guys?
01:22:53.860 He's trying to make it like, yo, you guys were interviewing my defendant at an early time.
01:22:59.180 It was cold as hell in there, et cetera.
01:23:00.680 Now you guys are wondering, wait, wait, why is the Border Patrol Station very cold?
01:23:04.340 They keep Border Patrol Stations very cold, guys, because to kill bacteria, and also because a lot of times when you bring the illegal aliens in,
01:23:11.800 they haven't showered in weeks, right?
01:23:14.580 And it's to also prevent the smell.
01:23:16.960 One thing I will never, ever forget from, you know, my years as an agent is the smell of migrants.
01:23:23.300 When they've been traveling for a very long time, they have this very unique, pungent smell that you just can't.
01:23:29.460 It's not the same smell, of course, of a dead body, but it's a very, it's unmistakable.
01:23:36.600 You can't miss it.
01:23:38.860 So that's why Border Patrol Stations always keep their stations very cold.
01:23:43.920 So he goes, correct.
01:23:45.020 They keep it very cold.
01:23:46.480 So you have no idea how long my client was sitting in the Danny Beach Border Station before you interrogated him, do you?
01:23:51.920 I don't recall exactly how long.
01:23:53.400 I know that there's a period of time where the people that were involved in interdiction are kept on a Coast Guard cutter where biometrics conducted,
01:23:59.700 and then there's a time where they're brought ashore, where they're picked up by Border Patrol personnel.
01:24:03.740 So it's from the time the interdiction occurs, it's sometimes, you know, a day or so later.
01:24:07.740 It could be up to 12 hours.
01:24:08.700 I don't recall exactly what time this group of individuals came in.
01:24:11.240 Now, here's the important thing.
01:24:13.220 HSI, we're a different agency.
01:24:14.720 We're not CBP.
01:24:15.920 We're not Border Patrol.
01:24:17.020 So we don't really control how the aliens are moved or stored.
01:24:20.440 We just got to show up wherever they're at and do our investigation.
01:24:23.160 Okay?
01:24:23.680 So that's good on our end.
01:24:26.260 So defense attorney, right, as usual, trying to pick at anything goes.
01:24:28.860 Okay.
01:24:29.360 So if I'm understanding this correctly, sometimes individuals are held on.
01:24:32.160 And these Coast Guard cutters, are they held in a brick on the cutter?
01:24:37.440 To my knowledge, no, they're not.
01:24:38.760 They're kept on the deck of the cutter.
01:24:41.120 Attorney goes, so outside of the deck of the cutter?
01:24:43.260 Yes.
01:24:44.040 He goes, all right.
01:24:45.400 And so up to 24 hours may have passed while my client is outside on the deck of a cutter.
01:24:50.220 I don't think it was that long, but there was a period of time he was on the deck of the cutter.
01:24:53.900 And then he goes, and then he's brought to a cold police station or a cold custom station in Dania Beach.
01:24:58.780 Correct.
01:24:59.040 He's brought to the station at Dania Beach.
01:25:00.760 And you have no idea for how long he's sitting in the interrogation room, right?
01:25:04.580 I don't know how long he was there.
01:25:05.920 A lot of times when we respond to do interviews, they've already been there for at least an hour or two so the Border Patrol can continue their processing.
01:25:12.120 And the way our processing room works is we'll take them to other migrants to get to figure out.
01:25:16.620 We'll talk to other migrants to get an idea, figure out what their story is, and then we'll interview the, I think he means defendant, what we would call the principal, the boat captain, last.
01:25:27.320 Okay.
01:25:27.560 So what he means is that we would interview the witnesses first, then we talk to the suspect last because we already have everyone else's story.
01:25:34.240 Correct.
01:25:34.600 Mylar is basically the same material that you would use in a helium balloon, right?
01:25:40.320 Correct.
01:25:41.200 So if it's about the thickness of a helium balloon, I can't testify the thickness of it.
01:25:45.000 They're not very thick.
01:25:46.080 They are emergency blankets.
01:25:47.200 Okay.
01:25:47.360 So what he's referring to is we give the migrants, guys, when they're in the station, these like space blankets.
01:25:54.540 Anyone that camps knows exactly what I'm talking about.
01:25:56.580 They're like these aluminum foil type looking silver blankets that help them preserve heat.
01:26:02.960 Okay.
01:26:03.660 What we heard in court today was not there was some parts of this interview that occurred before the recording started, right?
01:26:09.500 I'm sorry.
01:26:09.880 I don't understand the question.
01:26:10.880 There were some parts of this interview which were recorded, which have not been played in court.
01:26:14.900 Is that right?
01:26:15.400 And then Steve goes, yes.
01:26:17.440 Yes, sir.
01:26:18.100 There were some parts before what we heard, right?
01:26:20.600 Yes.
01:26:21.040 And there were some parts after what we heard.
01:26:22.780 Yes.
01:26:23.540 And in order to familiarize yourself with testifying today, you've actually recently listened to the entire post arrest and statement.
01:26:28.040 Is that right?
01:26:28.860 Yes.
01:26:29.840 And you listened to it as recently as perhaps yesterday?
01:26:32.280 Yes.
01:26:33.260 Okay.
01:26:33.780 You've had training on how to interrogate suspects, right?
01:26:36.240 Yes.
01:26:36.520 I've had interview training.
01:26:37.380 Correct.
01:26:37.980 You had your interview training as part of your initial training.
01:26:40.340 That's correct.
01:26:41.260 And then you have done subsequent following training on how to interview somebody.
01:26:44.560 No, I have not.
01:26:46.400 Are you familiar with the concept of softening a witness in order to get them to answer questions?
01:26:51.180 I've heard of that, but I'm not familiar with that.
01:26:54.280 And he goes, okay.
01:26:55.060 Are you familiar with the tactic whereby you might try to minimize the suspect's conduct in order to make it seem that what they did is not so bad in order to get them to talk?
01:27:03.180 Yes, sir.
01:27:03.900 Have you personally employed that tactic?
01:27:05.300 Yes, sir.
01:27:06.180 Have you personally employed that tactic in this case?
01:27:08.420 I don't believe so.
01:27:09.780 Okay.
01:27:10.580 Not that I recall.
01:27:11.640 Did you ever make a statement to my client to the effect of, really, I think you may just be a victim of other people that are actually profiting off this type of behavior?
01:27:19.340 I believe so.
01:27:20.120 Yes.
01:27:20.580 So see what he's trying to do here, guys?
01:27:22.280 He's trying to get him like on semantics.
01:27:27.020 Okay.
01:27:28.100 And yes, Liberty Bell Rocks goes.
01:27:29.840 It's called the re-technique.
01:27:30.940 Yes, it is, sir.
01:27:31.600 Good job.
01:27:36.580 We got 900 of you guys in here.
01:27:37.900 Do me a favor.
01:27:38.640 Like the video, please.
01:27:40.480 Let me see here where we're at.
01:27:43.180 And we're an hour and a half into this bad boy.
01:27:47.120 Two years until I can reapply for CBP.
01:27:49.040 Do you think it's a good idea to work for a local PD?
01:27:50.740 For now, I was a Fed.
01:27:52.040 When I applied to CBP, still took an L.
01:27:54.340 So, yes, you know, there's nothing wrong with working for a local police department, my friend.
01:28:01.680 But, yo, apply to U.S. Marshals, dude.
01:28:03.560 They don't polygraph.
01:28:05.340 So that might be an option for you as well, U.S. Marshals Service.
01:28:08.900 Just understand that their job isn't as fun as people think it is.
01:28:13.180 It really isn't.
01:28:14.280 They do a lot of courtroom duty, and that just sucks.
01:28:17.440 Okay.
01:28:20.740 Okay.
01:28:22.000 Okay.
01:28:22.280 And at some point, did you say, it's understandable, I can understand why you might have done something like this, because I know the economic conditions in certain parts of the Bahamas are bad?
01:28:29.900 That's correct.
01:28:30.720 And did you say, you may have done this because you're desperate?
01:28:33.180 I don't know if I used the exact words, but I feel like I probably said something to that effect.
01:28:37.160 Yes.
01:28:37.760 I'm trying to understand who's in this interview room.
01:28:40.260 I believe that everyone that was in the interview is actually present here in court.
01:28:43.700 Is that fair to say?
01:28:44.620 That's correct.
01:28:45.640 You were asking most of the questions, right?
01:28:47.620 Correct.
01:28:48.020 My client's answering the questions.
01:28:49.200 Correct.
01:28:49.480 And then this gentleman here, Special Agent Fuddle, and he pointed to me, of course, is also present.
01:28:54.660 Correct.
01:28:55.020 And you guys are probably wondering, well, Myra, what were you doing when all this shit was going on?
01:28:57.920 So while my buddy Steve was on the stand, I was sitting at the table with the prosecutors.
01:29:03.880 You guys know there's two tables, right?
01:29:05.100 You got the defendant sitting at the table with his defense attorney.
01:29:07.780 Then you got the prosecution sitting on one side with their agents.
01:29:10.420 So I was sitting, the two prosecutors were at the table and I was sitting next to them and I was, you know, there observing everything going on, right?
01:29:18.660 Because as a lead case agent, you got to make sure that, you know, you're kind of like the, you're the director.
01:29:24.060 You're making sure everything is like, you know, good for the prosecutor.
01:29:27.100 So Steve is on the stand and I'm sitting there.
01:29:28.940 So the defense attorney points at me and says, everyone that interviewed my client is here, right?
01:29:32.340 So this guy right here and he points at me and then he obviously has Steve on the stand, right?
01:29:38.180 So, uh, and he goes, correct.
01:29:45.800 Who actually has responsibility for the case?
01:29:47.640 Who is the case agent?
01:29:48.560 Is it you or is it this special agent indicating who it is?
01:29:51.900 And he goes, it's agent Fuddle is the case agent and I'm the co-case agent.
01:29:55.200 So I would be assisting him in the matter.
01:29:57.040 So, um, so I was sitting at the table, right?
01:30:00.560 He goes, okay, my client at the very early stages mentions that he is recruited by somebody named Jacob Curry.
01:30:05.420 So Jacob guys was the guy that was involved in the smuggling event.
01:30:10.220 That's correct.
01:30:10.940 And Jacob Curry is actually a first and then a last name, right?
01:30:13.840 Jacob being the first name and Curry being the second name, right?
01:30:16.340 That's correct.
01:30:17.300 You never asked my client in the course of the interview, where does Jacob Curry live?
01:30:20.820 Did you, his specific address, his specific address?
01:30:23.520 No, my client told you, I know Jacob Curry because he actually lives in my neighborhood.
01:30:27.460 That's correct.
01:30:28.380 Have you ever been to Abaco?
01:30:29.320 Abaco guys is a part of the Bahamas.
01:30:31.820 And he goes, no, I have not.
01:30:32.860 Have you ever dealt with the Royal Bahamian police?
01:30:34.360 Yes, I have.
01:30:35.340 Do your agency have contacts within the Royal Bahamian police?
01:30:37.680 Yes, we do.
01:30:38.420 So do you guys see here what he's trying to do?
01:30:40.080 He's trying to divert, okay, responsibility from his client over to this other guy, Jacob
01:30:45.700 Curry, who was the recruiter for this event.
01:30:49.500 I don't feel comfortable commenting on ongoing investigations and what we're doing following
01:30:53.760 up to other investigations.
01:30:55.580 So he gave a good answer here.
01:30:56.600 Steve is a, this is a W answer.
01:30:58.780 So he goes, did you ever contact the Royal Bahamian police and ask them, we need to locate
01:31:02.340 somebody named Jacob Curry.
01:31:03.240 And he goes, hey, I'm not going to comment on ongoing investigations.
01:31:06.140 You may have, but you're just not going to tell the jury at this point.
01:31:09.340 Have we followed up with Royal Bahamian police in this investigation?
01:31:13.260 Yes, we have.
01:31:13.760 We do that with all of our investigations, specifically on Jacob Curry.
01:31:17.460 Jacob Curry is an individual who has come up in both human smuggling and narcotics investigations
01:31:20.720 out of the Bahamas.
01:31:21.800 And this is true.
01:31:23.040 We did know who this idiot was, Jacob Curry.
01:31:25.560 My client tells you about somebody named Chucky.
01:31:27.400 That's correct.
01:31:28.420 And then at some point, my client even gives you Chucky's phone number.
01:31:31.480 That's correct.
01:31:32.360 Did you validate that phone number to see if that was a real phone number?
01:31:35.500 We have taken the phone number and are continuing to investigate that phone number and that
01:31:38.960 individual.
01:31:40.020 You just, okay.
01:31:43.000 So then Steve goes, if I could, if we call that number to verify if it works, the answer
01:31:48.240 is no.
01:31:48.920 We did not call to verify that it works.
01:31:50.900 We have law enforcement techniques that we use to check phone numbers and subpoena records
01:31:53.800 and things like that.
01:31:55.020 And the investigation to individual is ongoing.
01:31:57.280 Have you subpoena any records that you can show to this jury at this moment?
01:32:01.220 Not that I have, no.
01:32:02.420 Have you subpoena any records with respect to Jacob Curry that you can show this jury right
01:32:06.860 now that I have subpoenaed that can show right now?
01:32:09.120 No.
01:32:09.860 And the thing is, guys, is that, yeah, we definitely followed up on these two idiots and we know
01:32:14.760 who they are.
01:32:15.220 I figured out who Chucky was and I figured out who the other guy was.
01:32:18.340 And then he goes, question, has he?
01:32:20.420 And then not that I know of.
01:32:22.020 Oh, he says, has he?
01:32:23.180 As in pointing at me asking, have I followed up?
01:32:25.340 And then Steve said, not that I know of, right?
01:32:26.720 Because I'm the main case agent.
01:32:27.880 Then he goes, my client told you, call Chucky.
01:32:30.520 Don't call him from a former, from a US number because he won't answer.
01:32:34.340 Is that right?
01:32:34.740 That's correct.
01:32:35.160 My client told when the handoff of the money occurred, it occurred in person, right?
01:32:39.020 That's correct.
01:32:39.780 My client told you Chucky physically handed me the money, right?
01:32:42.440 That's correct.
01:32:43.260 And Chucky, just so we can remind everyone, is the person who provided the boat to my
01:32:46.940 client, allegedly, right?
01:32:48.020 That's correct.
01:32:48.820 So my client says the handoff occurred by Chucky giving me the money.
01:32:51.700 It was not only at the marina, it was next to the boat, right?
01:32:54.460 That's correct.
01:32:55.520 And you personally have been made aware that my client left from Blue Water Marina in
01:32:59.340 Bimini, right?
01:33:00.260 I believe so.
01:33:01.240 And you know exactly where that marina is.
01:33:03.060 Do you not?
01:33:03.960 I'm familiar with that area in Bimini.
01:33:05.080 I have never been there, but I'm familiar with that area.
01:33:07.720 So real quick, I'll go ahead and show you guys where this marina is.
01:33:12.240 It's called Blue Water Marina.
01:33:15.380 Okay.
01:33:15.800 This is where he left from.
01:33:16.660 This is common smuggling.
01:33:19.780 Blue Water Marina.
01:33:20.600 Uh, let's see it right here.
01:33:31.120 If you have any Blue Water Marina.
01:33:36.040 As y'all can see, not a bad place.
01:33:38.280 Some pretty good professional pictures.
01:33:39.600 but as you guys can see it's not that far from miami okay miami's right there this is only about
01:33:51.140 50 miles uh and a lot of smuggling happens from there uh okay so my client has told you where
01:34:01.260 the handoff occurred and you know where the marina is is that fair to say that's fair to say
01:34:04.360 all right can you show the jury the surveillance images from that marina there's no surveillance
01:34:08.180 images that i have at this time what steps did you take to obtain surveillance uh from that marina
01:34:12.400 so can you guys you guys see what's going on here the defense attorney what he's trying to do is
01:34:16.400 he's trying to like he's trying to divert the conversation from his client saying like yo
01:34:21.460 listen i know you caught my client but you know this chucky guy you know jacob curry why didn't
01:34:26.140 y'all go after them like you went after my client blah blah blah blah blah what he doesn't know is
01:34:30.120 that i had already known who these idiots were i knew who chucky was and i knew who jacob curry was
01:34:33.880 already however we're not going to disclose what the fuck we were doing with identifying those guys
01:34:39.240 in a trial for someone else okay this guy stanley was just a mole or not a mole a mule essentially
01:34:45.780 that got paid to move the aliens to the united states and he was supposed to take that money that
01:34:50.420 23k and give it to someone in the united states with the aliens and he was supposed to get a portion
01:34:55.160 of it and go back to the bahamas but he got caught all right but chucky and jacob curry were the real
01:35:00.420 masterminds and i had known who these idiots were because they were being investigated in other
01:35:04.380 investigations i knew who chucky was specifically and jacob so um uh and i'm not going to go further
01:35:10.700 than that but uh but uh you know detail wise i mean this is all public information so i'm reading it off
01:35:16.140 here but um there's some things that i know that i'm not going to disclose at this moment because i
01:35:20.340 don't know if they're in jail yet okay um so yeah uh let's see here do we have anything else here
01:35:27.260 okay and we got 900 y'all in here like the video please um so i'm going to go ahead and start fast
01:35:32.980 forwarding through this a little bit seeing what he says here but this is what this is what um defense
01:35:41.100 attorneys do guys they typically try to divert responsibility from their client and try to make
01:35:48.120 the the agent look dumb if they can and they always fail because their client got caught you know
01:35:53.700 red-handed and then there's something called a redirect right which allows the prosecution to
01:35:58.460 come in and kind of save the day right so um so you ask you you indicated that you interviewed the
01:36:05.320 defendant last is that correct and this is from the a usa so now after he gets crocs examined he's able
01:36:09.100 to do a redirect examination so the prosecutor kind of comes in and fills in holes that the defense
01:36:12.980 attorney tried to punch in a testimony which he did a very bad job by the way he kept trying to
01:36:16.920 redirect and say oh well why don't you go after jacob curry or chucky or whatever blah blah blah
01:36:20.960 right so and what he doesn't know is that we already were okay um so and then she she redirects
01:36:29.860 and everything else like that so anyway this was a two-day trial guys just so y'all know and what
01:36:34.220 ended up happening is this is the verdict form okay he ended up going guilty for everything
01:36:40.920 right safe to say his defense attorney didn't do too good of a job right that's definitely a big
01:36:47.160 all right he got indicted he pretty much got found guilty of every single count
01:36:56.480 except for count 34 if i'm not mistaken yeah as in account 34 of the indictment we find a defendant
01:37:03.140 not guilty so he got found guilty of everything else and uh count 34 guys all right is this right
01:37:11.340 here this is what they didn't find him guilty on count 34 where is it
01:37:17.540 this right here um conspiracy to allow procure permit certain aliens since the united states
01:37:24.380 honorable october 24th upon the high scenes and out of the jurisdiction of any particular
01:37:28.400 state or district and elsewhere within miami-dade county and southern district of florida
01:37:31.460 stanley roll did knowingly and willfully connive conspire confederate and agree with other
01:37:38.140 persons known and unknown to the grand jury to allow procure and permit aliens ray de los santos
01:37:42.120 and carlos moreno archibald whom he knew to be inadmissible to enter united states said aliens
01:37:45.980 being inadmissible under title eight united states code uh 1182 um and who had been convicted of
01:37:52.900 aggravated felony in a violation of 8 usc 1327 okay so he brought in two convicted felons so he didn't
01:37:59.440 get found guilty of this conspiracy to allow procure and permit certain aliens to enter united states hey
01:38:05.060 i'll tell you guys this 33 out of 34 isn't too bad baby you know what i'm saying that's a big
01:38:08.780 all right so he got convicted on january 16th of 2019 they didn't deliberate for too long
01:38:18.180 uh and then also what was i going to show y'all um the indictment here
01:38:24.820 uh this was yeah this was the charges the penalty sheets
01:38:30.820 superseding information yep okay cool we're good so this way he got hit on the verdict form
01:38:36.920 and then he ended up getting the judgment guys here's here's uh the judgment right and this was
01:38:42.640 uh on march 26 2019 the judgment that he got from uh paul c huck he ended up getting 60 months as it
01:38:49.280 counts one counts one through 33 to be served concurrently so he got lucky he didn't have to
01:38:53.520 do it consecutively he got it concurrently so they all roll at the same time so 60 months is five years
01:38:57.980 okay um and he was found not guilty of only one and right now just for fun just let's see where
01:39:03.620 he's at now so i'll show you guys how to do this right you go ahead and you go let's go google real

01:41:07.300 to have in your background that type of thing i'm thinking about doing a whole series on you know so
01:41:11.180 you want to become a special agent this is what you need and i go ahead and i break it down for y'all
01:41:15.520 from the beginning all the way through um and i can go over the different agencies and what it takes
01:41:22.380 to work for each agency i'll probably start with um with the main agencies right that everyone knows
01:41:27.920 you know obviously fbi dea homeland security investigations those are three biggest agencies
01:41:31.860 by the way actually the number one big agency is fbi number two is hsi and then after that i think the
01:41:38.280 next biggest 1811 agency is probably um dea but the two biggest by far are homeland security and fbi
