This bloodthirsty Venezuelan gang has caused havoc in Latin America. Now it’s in Miami

A Venezuelan criminal gang that for the past few years has been extending its operations and causing havoc throughout Latin America has made an appearance in South Florida, police say, claiming that at least one of its members was involved in a recent Miami murder.

José Luis Sánchez Valera, a 43-year-old retired Venezuelan police officer who lived in Doral, was lured by women into a hotel room in Miami in late November and killed after he was abducted in the parking lot. Yurwin Salazar, 23, a Venezuelan immigrant who lives in South Florida, has been charged with the murder.

According to police reports, Salazar is a member of the Tren de Aragua, the infamous gang that has been terrorizing citizens of the South American country for more than a decade. Valera’s abduction, carjacking, home invasion and murder is the first documented instance of a crime committed in South Florida by a member of the gang known for its size and wanton use of violence.

“As of last year, we had been hearing reports that members of the gang had left Colombia, moving through the Darien Gap and walking all the way to the United States,” said Venezuelan security expert Javier Ignacio Mayorca. “There wasn’t much factual evidence accompanying the claim that they were already inside the United States. This case, unless proven otherwise, would be the first confirmation that this is true.”

Walked?

I doubt it.

Charter bus or PVs.

Turn him into an oyster😁
Waterboard him until produces pearls (names of other members)
Hunt down these gang members.
Remove politicians that made his entry possible and try them as an asscesory to his crimes.
Execute criminals.
