That Moorhead, MN (Fargo sister city) teen is all sorts of fucked now.

A 13-year-old boy was taken into custody without incident. Moorhead Police Chief Chris Helmick says 1,500 suspected fentanyl pills were seized and the boy is being held at the Clay County Juvenile Detention Center for first-degree possession of a controlled substance.

Venezuela is the back-up plan because Stephen Miller's plan to attack Mexico fell through.

But as the administration geared up for the fight, sending troops to the southern border, Mexico did the same. By the end of August, Mexico had effectively cracked down on the cartels.

Still hungry for a fight, Miller pivoted, shifting his gaze toward Venezuela, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

“When you hope and wait for something to develop that doesn’t, you start looking at countries south of Mexico,” a current U.S. official told the Post on the condition of anonymity.

Current and former officials that spoke with the Post argued that Miller was the primary driving force behind the operation, leading the charge on a July 25 classified directive that authorized the use of military force against criminal groups.

“The president’s memo is the original sin of the whole operation,” a former official told the Post.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and State Secretary Marco Rubio revealed during a classified meeting that there was no intelligence indicating that fentanyl was coming out of Venezuela. Instead, the administration had learned the boats were carrying cocaine—bound for Europe, rather than America.
