Homeland Security Weekly Update - Nov 22, 2025

We open this week’s briefing in a powder-keg Caribbean, where Operation Southern Spear has surged the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group and a reawakened Roosevelt Roads into position for rapid strikes on Venezuela’s narco-regime. We walk through the war cabinet’s menu of options—decapitation raids, port and airstrip bombings, and Marines on the beach—and the cascading risks of militias, cartels, and Russian-Iranian weapons threatening to turn any incursion into another endless jungle insurgency. Stateside, we unpack Operation Charlotte’s Web in NC, where DHS is stress-testing its new mass-removal machine, driving shuttered job sites, emptied classrooms, and a rising wave of self-deportations as enforcement ramps. In travel security news, we dissect the U.S. embassy's warning to American "snowbirds" heading to Mexico, the cartel narco-banners declaring open season on Americans in resort corridors, and the simmering anti-foreigner backlash in Mexico City’s gentrified neighborhoods.
