Rolnar Sanabria redefines U.S. immigration and security with expertise-driven collaboration and innovation.
In a world where transnational crime and immigration intersect more than ever, Venezuelan legal expert Rolnar Sanabria offers a visionary approach to reshaping U.S. immigration policy and law enforcement practices. Through the Latino Institute for Security Efficiency (LISE), Sanabria bridges the gap between Latin American expertise and U.S. security needs, offering a bold new model for addressing pressing challenges.
A Career Forged in Justice
Sanabria’s vision is deeply rooted in his extensive frontline experience combating organized crime in Venezuela. As a Provisional Prosecutor in the Public Ministry, his work exposed him to some of the most dangerous and complex cases in the region.
“In Venezuela, the challenges are raw and immediate,” Sanabria says. “It’s not just about willpower; it’s about innovation, strategy, and understanding how criminal networks operate beyond borders.”
Throughout his career, Sanabria tackled emblematic cases that underscore his expertise and determination:
- Fighting Human Trafficking (2014): Sanabria dismantled a Somali human trafficking network spanning multiple Latin American countries.
- Confronting Corruption (2016): He prosecuted military officials for smuggling over 11,000 iron bars, exposing systemic corruption.
- Resolving a Prison Crisis (2016): Sanabria led investigations into a prison riot involving homicide and cannibalism, resulting in the arrest of six police officials.
These experiences shaped his understanding of the need for international cooperation to combat transnational crime effectively.
LISE: A Bridge Between Regions
Sanabria’s Latino Institute for Security Efficiency (LISE) represents a transformative approach to addressing U.S. security and immigration challenges. LISE aims to integrate Latin American expertise into U.S. policy and law enforcement practices, focusing on:
- Advanced Criminal Profiling: Offering U.S. agencies insights into complex transnational networks.
- Specialized Training: Equipping law enforcement with tools to combat organized crime.
- Regional Cooperation: Strengthening partnerships between Latin American and U.S. security agencies.
Sanabria emphasizes the importance of a united front: “The expansion of criminal organizations across borders demands coordinated strategies and shared intelligence. LISE is the platform to make that collaboration possible.”
A Global Impact
Sanabria’s expertise is already making waves internationally. At the International Association for Identification (IAI) Conference, he will be presenting actionable intelligence on “El Tren de Aragua,” one of Latin America’s most dangerous criminal organizations, which has infiltrated U.S. communities. His analysis seeks to provide American law enforcement with critical tools to track and dismantle the gang’s operations.
Experts in law and security have praised Sanabria’s approach. Walter Henao, a seasoned police investigator, calls him “an exceptional leader” with “advanced investigative methodologies.” Similarly, Liliana Mangiafico, J.D., LL.M., highlights his “innovative approach” as a valuable contribution to the U.S. legal and security landscape.
A Vision for the Future
Sanabria’s work extends beyond immediate challenges. He advocates for integrating modern technology into security systems, including data analytics, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity tools, to monitor and prevent crime proactively.
“The future of security lies in innovation—using data to predict patterns and stop crimes before they happen,” he asserts.
Through LISE and other initiatives, Sanabria aims to create a security model that unites public authorities, law enforcement, and private entities. His vision transcends borders, offering a blueprint for safer, smarter strategies to combat modern crime.
As the U.S. faces increasingly complex security issues, Sanabria’s expertise and vision provide a path toward a more collaborative and effective future. His efforts promise not only to enhance immigration policy but also to redefine the fight against transnational crime.
