FBI Cracking Down on "764" Child Exploitation Group

The pedophiles won't stop until they are made to stop.

The FBI has intensified its effort across the U.S. to take down the online child-exploitation group, "764" network, with two recent examples highlighted by FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.

In a post shared on X on Wednesday, Bongino revealed how the dangerous network has infiltrated online spaces popular with minors and said how aggressively federal authorities are moving to shut it down.

"For those who may not know, the 764 Network is a heinous child-exploitation ring that often targets children online and coerces them into acts of violence, self-harm, animal abuse, suicide, and sexual abuse," Bongino warned.

"At the beginning of the year, our teams redoubled efforts to go after these networks and eliminate them. We have more than 300 investigations connected to this network nationwide, and that number is growing. It is a top priority for us," he added.

Among the latest cases, Bongino said agents from FBI Baltimore arrested an individual on charges of targeting five minors, including a 13-year-old.

He said the suspect is now in federal custody, and additional details are expected as the investigation develops.

Meanwhile, in Arizona, an indictment revealed an individual in federal custody had been found allegedly targeting kids as an affiliate of "764."

"The nine victims involved were between 11 and 15 years old," Bongino explained, "Some of the allegations include distributing child pornography, cyberstalking, animal crushing, and even conspiring to provide material support to terrorists," Bongino said.

The "764" network traces back to 2021, when it was founded by Bradley "Felix" Cadenhead, a Texas teenager who operated a group called CVLT.

Named after the ZIP code of Cadenhead's hometown, "764" now exists within a broader ecosystem of violent online communities known as "The COM."

Members allegedly use popular online preteen and teen platforms such as Discord, Telegram and Roblox to recruit and manipulate minors.

"I cannot emphasize this enough, this is a major issue in America that not enough people know about," Bongino warned.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the rash of trans mass murders.

ICE is meanwhile arresting foreign criminal child sex offenders.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Thursday touted its arrest of the "worst of the worst" illegal aliens, which included child sex offenders and gang members.

"Every town is a border town because of 4 years of mass illegal migration into our country. Our ICE law enforcement officers are arresting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in American communities," said  Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "Just yesterday, ICE arrested child pornographers, MS-13 gang members, and murderers. We are thankful for our law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line to remove these heinous criminals from our neighborhoods."

...

Topping the list was Francisco Luna-Tristan of Mexico, who was previously convicted of indecency with a child sexual contact.

Hsa Mu Na of Thailand was previously convicted of producing, distributing, and possessing child pornography.

David Diaz-Alvaredo of El Salvador was previously convicted of murder in aid of racketeering and is a member of MS-13.

Kevin Damian Duhaney of Jamaica was previously convicted of criminal possession of a firearm and attempted assault.

Leonel Longoria-Aquirino of Mexico was previously convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

More Cultural Enrichers sadly deported.

A husband and wife duo accused of running a sophisticated sex ring in Louisiana are previously deported illegal migrants with lengthy rap sheets.

Murillo Lazano-Vargas and Zabdi Danea Guzman-Diaz were apprehended by the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office earlier in November on charges related to the promotion of prostitution, human trafficking by force and pandering, according to local outlet WAFB. The married couple are Mexican nationals who are not only living in the U.S. unlawfully, but had already been deported from the country before returning to allegedly launch their illicit brothel enterprise, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

"On November 6, ICE Homeland Security Investigations executed a search and arrest warrant for a human trafficking and sexual exploitation investigation," a DHS spokesperson stated to the Daily Caller News Foundation. "HSI Law enforcement rescued three victims of these barbaric criminals."

"Thanks to the brave men and women of ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement], these human traffickers and predators are off the streets," the DHS spokesperson continued. "President Trump and Secretary Noem are dismantling transnational criminal networks."

Local law enforcement received a tip in January that an individual going by the moniker "Primo," later identified as Lazcano-Vargas, was overseeing a home in the Baton Rouge area where prostitution and human trafficking were allegedly taking place, according to WAFB. The Mexican national allegedly used WhatsApp to send explicit images of females to arrange meetings with clients, with investigators later determining that his wife was a co-conspirator in the scheme.

Lazcano-Vargas was previously convicted for domestic abuse, child abuse and aggravated assault, and Guzman-Diaz was previously convicted of illegal entry, according to DHS.

The couple's arrest marks the second sex ring bust by immigration and local law enforcement in the Baton Rouge area. Working in coordination with ICE agents, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office announced earlier in November the arrest of three Honduran nationals accused of exploiting numerous women through a similarly-run prostitution operation between May 2023 and October 2025.

...

The back-to-back sex ring busts follow GOP Gov. Jeff Landry's signing of a partnership agreement with ICE earlier this year that empowers Louisiana law enforcement agencies to enforce federal immigration laws. Dubbed "Operation Geaux," the order is intended to help local police better identify and remove criminal illegal migrants from their communities.

LOL.
