The Tren de Aragua rose to power in Nicolas Maduro’s anarchotyranny. Now they’re in Florida.
Last week, El American broke the news that members of the Tren de Aragua, the largest criminal organization in Venezuela (after the government), had crossed the southern border and were living in Orlando, Florida. The news came a week after Breitbart had claimed that Venezuelan criminals were crossing the border to live in the U.S.—more than likely continuing their criminal enterprises.
The source told El American that the criminals were living in Bogotá, Colombia, and were able to change their identity by bribing Venezuelan officials. They traveled by land to Mexico’s northern border and crossed to the U.S., then established themselves in Orlando, where one of the members bought a car and applied for a Florida license plate with his new identity. The source believed that the crossing was not organized by the Maduro regime, but an isolated act of corruption.
The Tren de Aragua was born from a union in Aragua state, west of Caracas. The union represented the workers of the construction of a railroad (hence the name, Aragua’s Train) that would have passed through the state of Aragua. The project was never finished, the money disappeared, and no one knew what happened---a common occurrence in Chavez’s Venezuela.
The workers started with typical shady union deals, charging for the allocation of workers and extorting contractors. Some of its members were sentenced for their crimes and sent to the Tocorón prison, one of the largest and most dangerous prisons in Venezuela. There, they got in touch with the now-leader of the gang, Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, better known as “Niño Guerrero,” who was serving a sentence for killing a policeman and started expanding their operations.
First, from the prison, they gained control of the nearby San Vicente neighborhood. San Vicente is a large neighborhood with over 28,000 people. Every parcel is controlled by two or more of Guerrero’s lieutenants who keep the area in order: no minors on the streets after 11 p.m., no muggings within San Vicente, and not a soul can mention the activities of the Tren de Aragua.
Then, they started leading all kinds of criminal operations from the prison: extortion, drug trafficking, hit jobs, kidnappings, and human trafficking. Then, the gang started expanding to other parts of the country. They started controlling drug trafficking routes from Sucre, a state in the northeastern part of the country that allows easy access to the Caribbean. Then they began taking part in illegal mining operations in southeast Venezuela, near the border with Brazil.

interesting information in light of Biden’s actions at the border, singaling out Venezuelans..
Besides death and destruction, Brandon is giving us violent crime. When will we have enough?
“Tren de Aragua“? This is the first I’ve heard of this gang. I’m sure it WON’T BE THE LAST TIME.

Fire ants. Extinguish.
Need I say more?
God’s judgement will be painful. We’ve pushed Him out, and the worsening results we see each day.
We are not the first nation in which this has happened, and unless we fall to our knees and repent, and call out to Jesus Yeshua God for forgiveness, trusting Him for the future, things will grow worse and worse.
And none of this has to be. It’s up to each of us; God has promised us a national healing if we’ll return to him...
Yes, I know some hate this message- but do you have a better plan?
Every day in America: death by a thousand cuts. The country is committing suicide and few realize it.
Yikes! 😡 I really hope Bitem goes home soon to his father: Satan!
Wonder what Gov DeSantis is going to do now that he gets wind of this. Waiting to see his reaction and next move in Orlando.

Direct cooperation, Democrats/ Cartels
Gov. DeSantis is going to score big time on this.

Worth the time to read.
Coming to a city near you.
Let them take over Disney...
Maybe they already have!
Agree

Biden’s “refugees” are all gangbangers. This is why the left wants to confiscate the firearms of all Americans.
Glad my relatives sold the land in Orlando they once owned in what is now called Epcot/Disney world.
All we got was a box of Indian River fruit once a year.
There was an article posted last week I believe it was here on Free Republic with them letting these criminals out of jail down there and sending them up here to form their gang as a hit squad.
