A one-time Venezuelan prison gang has erupted into a multinational migrant crime syndicate that is ravaging the US — and is the subject of more than 100 police investigations across the nation.
Tren de Aragua, a vicious South American gang that sneaked into the US among the millions of migrants who have crossed the border, is peddling drugs, guns and women across the 50 states — from urban centers like New York and Chicago to Florida beaches and once-tranquil Middle America.
In Colorado, the gang even got a “green light” to shoot at cops, according to a federal memo.
“I would say that like six months ago, their organized presence wasn’t so obvious on the border,” a Texas law enforcement source told The Post. “But now they’re getting organized and they’re staying.
“They’ve definitely gotten their operations organized to facilitate movement, to facilitate human trafficking, to get people in to cross the border, and once they get them across the border, to get them to other locations throughout the country,” the source said.
“They’re taking over hotels, they’re taking over apartment complexes. That’s their MO. They’re coming and they’re taking over.”
One federal official described the gang as “MS-13 on steroids” — a reference to the brutal Salvadoran street gang that has terrorized communities on Long Island and elsewhere in recent years, according to a new report on the marauding migrants by the Wall Street Journal.
“It’s a certainty that the Tren has expanded,” another source told the outlet. “And they have a big market for narco-trafficking in the US.”

These are JV. The real danger to America is white Christian conservatives! /s
Instead of trying to put Christian grandmas in jail for protesting abortions and spying on conservatives, perhaps the DOJ’s time could be better spent directing DHS to focus on actual foreign terrorist organizations acting within our own borders.
Democrats love criminals.
Hide your kittens!
Trendy Arugula is gonna try and take over the wrong place one of these days.😎
The would be nice but most likely won’t happen. The foreign terrorists would be combative and might hurt them. Christian grandmas don’t fight back so it’s safer going after them. /s
Ultimately, I believe the only defense against this type of activity is going to be the creation of paramilitary hit squads. And I believe it will become a feature of future US life. I honestly do not think that there is any reversal scenario other than this type of outcome, it is inevitable.
I wonder what the Mexican gangs think about this.
Gang War!?
It’s like domestic policing is a thing of the past. DOJ crying about criminals as they hide behind their suits. Looking at all the crime stats by these gangs, what’s missing is the arrest/jailing of the perpetrators. Hmmmmm?
It’s been tried before. Not looking it up but, Chile, Nicaragua, Peru...Hell. We fought a war in Serbia, on the wrong side IMO. Nope. Feel free to loot and rape our country. Don’t worry. The Federal Government will protect you
They’ll probably form a tenuous collaboration until it becomes time to go at each other....give it time. I wonder when it will trigger “Cowboys and Venezuelans” time?
Takes one to know one.
Are they a problem? Perhaps.
Where are the “men” in the areas where they're a problem?
Come into my neighborhood and try that, and there will be a lot of dead gang members. Didn't claim there would be no casualties on our side, but those MF’ers will be dead if they try it here.
American blood on Biden/Harris hands.
The entities that are supposed to protect us, the US government in all of its forms, are not.
