The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has arrested and charged an alleged Latin Kings gang member with offering a bounty for the killing of high ranking Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino.
DHS arrested Juan Espinoza Martinez, an illegal migrant from Mexico, on October 6, 2025 in Burr Ridge, Illinois after receiving a screenshot of a Snapchat conversation where Martinez discusses payment for information about or the killing of Gregory Bovino. Authorities are not sure when Martinez entered the United States.
The screenshotted conversation with “Juan” says “2k on information when you get him” and “10k if u take him down, LK 
on him” under a photo of Gregory Bovino. According to the DHS, “LK” is another reference to Latin Kings.

According to the DHS, “LK” is another reference to Latin Kings.The criminal complaint from the U.S. District Court in Chicago charges Martinez with one count of murder-for-hire. The document further aims to establish Martinez as a decision making ranking member of the Latin Kings gang. According to a confidential informant, Martinez has the authority to order and dispatch Latin Kings members around Chicago. One example provided was sending armed members to protect Latin Kings territory near 26th Street and South Drake Avenue in Chicago.
Gregory Bovino is a high profile figure leading the Trump Administration's controversial immigration enforcement actions in Chicago. He has been in the Customs and Border Protection agency for three decades, operating around the United States and at several overseas posts. In 2020, he was appointed Chief Patrol Agent of the El Centro Sector.
A Possible Mexico Connection to Bounties?
Today, an article in the Washington Examiner reported the paper had received information from DEA via DHS indicating that some bounties for ICE agents are being ordered from Mexico. The referenced DEA report says criminal groups are offering bounties of $5,000 for an agent or officer; $10,000 for an agent or officer in a commanding role, and $50,000 for an agent or officer in a high-ranking position.

This is not the first time Mexican criminal groups have been suspected of authorizing assassinations on US federal agents. However, the timing of these threats raises their importance. So far, the Trump Administration has held back from actually striking drug labs or sending troops inside Mexico, but the killing of a federal agent by a Mexican affiliated group could provide the pretext for a kinetic response in Mexico.
Honestly sounds like something they would make up or frame someone. Reminds me of the time when Americans were scared of the kids getting addicted to African Hash.
ReplyDeleteKif in Africa, not hashish
DeleteWho wants to spend 50 years in a slammer or another?
DeleteNow many adults, even judges and police officers, are owners of grifa dispensaries, and this is grifa that compares to the Salsa Rompe-truzas, makes snoop dog and willy nelson run crying to their mommy.
African Hash is when you poop in a bag and inhale the gases formed. Also known as African Black Tar...
DeleteNo it sounds like something some stupid cowardly pathetic gang member would order! These guys are low iq idiot. They are normally full of stupid tattoos, spent most of their wasted life locked up, drug addicts, and they usually commit cowardly attacks when they have no chance of losing. They are bitches!
DeleteMexican Cartels know from KiKi that killing an agent will lead to losing everything no one is position of power would ok killing agents this sounds fabricated by informant to get points. You don’t get to kill a US agent and continue making money.

DeleteExactly, what's the point? Get more heat on you?
Its a scare tactic because the administration is so unpopular right now due to Epstein and just in general immoral child molesting ways...
Latin Kings member working in construction lol sure just like this administration said Trump fatass "aced" his physical exam
ReplyDeleteA bad hombre..
DeleteMexico not sending their best..
Now dude is sitting in the slammer, thinking to himself "where did I go wrong?"
Kids, remember this lesson, your phone is not always your friend. 🥹😅
8:44 "México" does not send...
DeleteYou "send" BS straight from your mamadora, just because it is easy and free of postage,fu.
Really though putting a bounty on agents through snap chat???
DeleteThat ain’t no king brother right there. Trying set this paisa up… tbh only the folks were out deep in their hoods last Saturday putting up a fight. Little village ninjas were quiet except them for a couple of spots. IYKYK 💯
ReplyDeleteI heard a crew of latin king assasins are working in Sinaloa with Ivans faction those dudes migth turn the tides on MF
ReplyDeleteThat's Koo foo
DeleteInteresting considering Margarito Flores and Pedro Flores are and have gang ties to the Latin Kings of Chicago. In an interview Jay said Ismael gave him a watch and told him he’s one of his own now. Which is even more interesting considerings he sided with Isidro Meza Flores, who Ismael was at odds with. Ismael even went as far as to fund militias against the group.
DeleteCBP making stuff up for political reasons.
ReplyDeleteViva la migra! Mexicans for trump!!! Free Mexico!!
ReplyDeleteI'm Mexican, I never voted for the Liar.
DeleteMexicans for Trump? 🤔
DeleteSpeak for yourself, many able to vote, did not vote for that fool.
Hallmark and Tyler Perry better watch it. This administration can make up great stories ..
ReplyDeleteDear Canada happy thanks giving weekend.
ReplyDeleteHe’s an idiot if he did placed a bounty on a federal agent. Anyone who harms a law enforcement personnel is unacceptable.
ReplyDeleteThis goes out to all Red or Blue patriots here.
Gregory Bovino of ICE is aggressive.
DeleteHe instructs take all, even if they have green cards, then 3-4 days later, if they have green card are let go without apology.. That's why Latin Kings hate his ass

Sounds like a personal beef, probably corrupt CBP chief taking money rather than people targeting law enforcement.
ReplyDelete8:22 Mijo
DeleteNot personal beef.
Bovino ICE Chief, are targeting anyone that looks Brown in Chicago.
Therefore, Latin Kings put a hit 🎯 on him. Bovino fled Chicago, once he knew , he is a marked man.
Posting it on Snapchat is crazy work .
ReplyDeleteThese young criminals always post everything on social media, especially when high on the pipe. In this case, “screenshot of a Snapchat conversation where Martinez discusses payment for information about or the killing of Gregory Bovino.”
ReplyDeleteA payment with Food Stamps is still soliciting/ conspiring to kill a federal law enforcement officer.

DeleteEven promising the nalgas as a reward for doing crimes is a crime, doing crime for free is very expensive too.
DeleteAnytime you have a hit put on a cop the informants (rats) come out of the woodwork trying to save themselves or help themselves I've never not seen a conspiracy where it wasn't exposed.
ReplyDeleteLatin Kings should have done it anonymous.
ReplyDeleteChief Gregory Bovino off CBP, once he heard, a hit was placed on him, he peed his pants and left Chicago quickly.
I don't believe what that plastic barbie is saying. Here the maga morons will believe that thing because there so far gone
