Venezuelan prison gang crime increasing in Florida

Tren de Aragua gang members are known for violence, murder, kidnapping, extortion, bribery and human and drug trafficking.

Aviolent Venezuelan prison gang, Tren de Aragua (TdA), has expanded its criminal operations into Florida, according to multiple reports.

As the border crisis escalated, a record number of illegal border crossers from Venezuela were released into the U.S. by the Biden administration and TdA violence expanded nationwide, including in Florida.

Tren de Aragua gang members are known for violence, murder, kidnapping, extortion, bribery and human and drug trafficking and are linked to more than 100 law enforcement investigations nationwide.

Last November, a retired Venezuelan police officer living in Doral, Florida, was targeted and allegedly murdered after he was lured to a hotel near the Miami International Airport. He was allegedly ambushed in the parking lot, kidnapped, robbed and murdered; his apartment was also burglarized, according to police reports. One alleged murderer and TdA member is believed to be connected to criminal investigations involving other hotels, Local 10 News reported.

In January, one of the culprits, a 23-year-old male TdA member, was charged with first-degree murder, armed home invasion, carjacking and kidnapping. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed a detainer request with a Miami-Dade corrections facility where he was being held without bond.

In March, a 19-year-old male TdA member in the country illegally was arrested for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, ABC 12 News reported. He was booked into Palm Beach County Jail where he was released less than 14 hours later on a $7,500 bond. This month, Border Patrol agents arrested him, Border Patrol’s Miami Sector chief announced.

The local fuzz should let the local rednecks round up these bad guys and dump them into the Everglades to satisfy the appetites of crocs and those big snake thingies. 👍

These gangs are pretty bold to set up shop in Florida under Governor DeSantis.

This will not stand.

There must still be some bad apples in the south Florida judiciary.
