Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=FunLuvr;2984903]Customs agents inspect goods, not people. They do not make a determination as to the status of a person. That is the job of immigration agents. My experience has been that I hardly ever see a customs agent when entering the US. The immigration agent makes the determination as to whether a passenger needs to see a customs agent or not.[/QUOTE]In the USA they do both jobs. That is why it is called ICE. Immigration Customs Enforcement. So in the USA, whenever you see an immigration officer that is the same as seeing a customs officer.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you have any recommendations on a particular one or two to try out? I know there are several located in the mall. Thanks again!

[QUOTE=ChikSika;2984835]Hi STL,

I've visited a few of the spas in Rio Sur and always had a positive experience. They offer light massages and happy endings. However, I've had full service a few times. One small spa there (I think closed now), I had a MILF type 'therapist' that started out massage and transitioned on full on full service, great time! In another popular spa, one of the therapists and I took a liking to each other and I engaged in full service with her 2 x. I actually took her out on a date one time, that was fun too.

As mentioned, its a pricier option, but I like the more professional atmosphere.[/QUOTE]

I have a lot of vids from my exploits, if others do too PM me.

Hey guys I'll be coming back to Medellin from September 5 - 13 but this time solo. Last time I came I stuck exclusively with Loutron and La Celestina to see girls so I'll prob do the same or end up going to Luna strip club also. I ended up seeing someone from Parque Illeras but didn't really like the selection I saw when I was there. For me Loutron had few 8's in there maybe 1 or 2 9's. Purely subjective of course so others have a few diff opinions. Anyone got any recommendations to find those model types around the same quality facially as the girls in Loutron? I'm 25 yrs old so prefer looking for girls 20 -29 yrs old but early 30's will do also haha. If anyone else is heading down there the same time too let me know.

ICE is Immigration AND Customs Enforcement. It's possible one individual may be certified as both an Immigration Agent and a Customs Agent, but they are not ICE agents. They are CBP (Customs and Border Protection) agents. Have you heard of Tom Homan using his agents in an airport? There may be a circumstance where his agents would go to an airport to arrest someone, but ICE agents don't do document and baggage checks on arriving passengers.

The following are quotes from the ICE website:
"The agency has an annual budget of approximately $8 billion, primarily devoted to three operational directorates Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA). A fourth directorate Management and Administration (M&A) supports the three operational branches to advance the ICE mission."
"Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is the principal investigative component of DHS and is responsible for investigating, disrupting, and dismantling transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) and terrorist networks that threaten or seek to exploit the customs and immigration laws of the United States"
"While ERO has significant assets near the border, the majority of its immigration enforcement mission takes place in the interior of the country. To accomplish ICE's important immigration enforcement objectives, ERO coordinates closely with law enforcement partners within the U.S. and around the world."

[QUOTE=Orgasmico;2984721]Def sucks. The youtube vids did a lot of damage. Then when I see American women traveling to a spot that began as a mongering destination, I know its a wrap.[/QUOTE]When I was stuck in a 3 hour line at Medellíand Immigration, I saw a boatload of American female tourists. I never saw any on the streets afterwards though, so they must be going someone.

Anyway, I learned something: always fly into Medellíand via Bogotá, and go through Immigration there, that's what I will do next time.

They are the same agents. It only depends on the duty they are performing at the time. Like the Secret Service. The mission of the Secret Service is to investigate counterfeiting. So there are offices full of special agents doing this. The same agents in the offices and running around investigating counterfeiting can be assigned to protection details such as guarding the president or dignitaries.

Just like in the Navy. We have people on a ship and people on shore duty. The same job title performs different duties. It is not either or. A mechanic can be assigned recruiting duty, but that does not mean they are not a sailor. CBP / ICE can be assigned to the field as well as the border, such as the airport or seaport. Just because you see them in an airport does not mean that is the only place they can be assigned.

[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2986133]Anyway, I learned something: always fly into Medelland via Bogot, and go through Immigration there, that's what I will do next time.[/QUOTE]That is like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

Wow, that's crazy. I saw that on the denuncias Antioquia feed. I wonder whether there was some sort of flight arrival schedule hiccup. It's been a while since that situation has come up in the news.

[QUOTE=Orgasmico;2986143]Gringo Sausage Fest Arrival.[/QUOTE]

Bogota has its moments too. I will say I've never seen the immigration lines understaffed as is sometimes the case in Medellin.

[QUOTE=FunLuvr;2984711]I heard they will not open M2. My guess is they have taken everyone's deposits and disappeared. It's now probably too late to dispute the charge with your credit card company.[/QUOTE]Lately the Mansion was just not run properly! Still going to miss the place though, had good times there. Wonder if there is something similar.

*I'll be visiting Medellin in two weeks to meet up with some military veterans. They know the country well, but it'll be my first time there. I like using SA when I travel to places where I don't know many locals—though here in Peru, I've been living for a year, so I don't really need it. That said, I'd appreciate any advice or helpful info!

I don't drink much, but I do smoke (plant medicine for PTSD). I also know a local tattoo artist who was referred to me by my artist here in Lima.

I'm 38, American-Italian from Brooklyn, NY. I prefer 20-25 petite chicks—funny enough, all my friends are obsessed with fake ass and tits, but that's not my thing, so it actually helps when we travel.

DM me if you have any tips, and safe travels!

Both are involved with immigration and customs, but their focus is different. CBP works at the border to stop illegal immigration and smuggling, while ICE works within the country to enforce immigration and customs law. ICE consists of two divisions, ERO (Enforcement and Romoval Operations) and HSI (Homeland Security Investigations). ERO is what most people think of as ICE. They work with the immigration court system. HSI works with the criminal court system. CBP works at or beyond the border and cosists of three divisions. OFO (Office of Field Operations) are the guys who work at the airports and other ports of entries inspecting people and goods as they cross the border. The Border Patrol patrols the borders between ports of entry. Air and Marine Operations patrol the coast along with the Coast Guard, as well as patrol the borders with aircraft.

TL; DR CBP works to stop it, ICE works to catch it after it's already happened.
