And nothing but crickets from the cartel media in Oregon. A total and unforgivable disgrace. For all the downsides of the digital age, without platforms and reporters like this (thank you Jeff) we would know nothing.

Goes to show how porous the OHP is and the amount of activity that is hidden.

Keep pulling on those threads, Jeff. Sooner or later there's going to be an unraveling.

I'm guessing the Oregon justice system folks don't wish to be labeled as racists! If they start prosecuting these folks we will see the left leaning protesters out in droves. 🙄

Thank you for the update and the video segments, Jeff.

You write there is another suspect interviewed in Texas, is this at an Uplifting Journey 'facility' also? If so, this is a national fraud ring in three states that are known at this time.

Will Oregon investigate? Of course not, there is no concern for law or taxpayer funds by Oregon leadership. In fact this and the prior administration love criminals. A convicted murderer is again serving on the community police review board in Salem. A Clackamas County Commissioner and accused elder abuser and possible kidnapper fled the country while awaiting trial. Nothing to investigate there either. Oregon loves it's criminals, up to and including the drug money influenced Secretary of State and the representative that accepted money from big pharma and the cannabis industry. Dirty through and through.

Perhaps Uplifting Journey ties to a declared foreign terrorist organization and potential ties to Somalia will garner the attention of Harmeet Dhillon and the DOJ.

Keep the story alive, Mr. Eager. And watch your back, these people, Foreign and domestic, play for keeps.

In a system that provides services to millions, you found three people that could have ties to a gang?

There is much much bigger fraud if fraud is even a part of this story. Is it important because they’re brown?

Hi, Frank. Before you insinuate I'm a racist, you might want to check out the archives of Oregon Roundup stories for years of reporting on misdeeds primarily by white people. I am reporting on the Tren de Aragua guys because (a) their alleged WA crimes were reported when charged; and (b) follow-up reporting showed they lived in a house operated by an Oregon Medicaid provider; (c) I obtained records from Oregon Health Authority showing $2.3M had been paid to the Medicaid provider including during time the alleged TdA guys were living there. Happy (eager, in fact) to report on fraud in Oregon regardless of the race of people who commit it.

Are you really stating this? This is your issue? Seriously? Read Jeff’s post. But why does it matter the “race” of an individual(s) when it comes to fraud? And tell me, where’s your empathy for the lady they tried to kill? And, do you not care that millions were stolen from those who truly in need? And maybe go read Jeff’s other research on the thieves and the house and the dozens of reports to police in LO due to questionable activity in the residence. And you have issue with Jeff grabbing something that no other news organization in Oregon is even covering? Unreal.
