I've gone on and on about Venezuela for a long time as a lesson learned in real-time. I've also considered Mexico as a threat for even longer with border towns at greatest risk. I've also felt that these border problems will reach the bigger cities like Chicago and Detroit, those two in particular as they are closet to my area. Of course, the video indicated that they are already in a few places in Michigan.
ETA: A good search on Google and AOL only returned incidences of Tren de Aragua in Colorado, Chicago, Florida, Texas, and Connecticut, but not a thing in Michigan or Detroit Michigan. Makes me think this video isn't that great. The map in the video shows Grand Rapids then either Ann Arbor or the West Side of Detroit, and one place in the UP. From what I can tell it is in the middle of the Ottawa National Forest with the small town of Iron River closest to the area on the map.
It seems that my security plans should be put into place now. I like the idea of starting with a moat and drawbridge. I don't have a castle to defend, and it ain't much, but it's all mine.
A log stockade with watch towers, like a fortress from the pioneering days would be more like it based on available materials.
