Venezuelan Gang in Tennessee

Tren de Aragua has already set up shop in these 16 States, Homeland Security warns​


The vicious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has expanded its territory to at least 16 US states — an area that includes half of America’s population, The Post has learned.

The gang already has footholds in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin, according to the memo and previous reporting by The Post.

The gang has only increased its “violent tendencies” as it spreads, the memo added.


Tren de Aragua’s arrival in the nation’s capital and nearby Virginia coincided with “increases in migrant populations” there, the memo stated.

Thanks for posting this link. I live in Montana and, if Tren de Aragua is extending its tentacles into Big Sky Country and Wyoming, I wouldn't be surprised if it is primarily on Indian Reservations. Gov. Noem of South Dakota commented on the difficulty they are experiencing there with cartels. She emphasized that, because of the sovereign relationship between the federal government and tribal reservations, the state of South Dakota didn't legally have the authority to carry out operations against those criminal organizations on Indian lands. I also suspect that Tren de Aragua operatives would regret taking that action; the citizenry of Montana and Wyoming tend to be very well armed. If Trump is able to get approval for his measure to make "concealed carry" permits transferable to all 50 states, Tren de Aragua operatives would regret such action even more thoroughly. They most definitely will NOT like our winter weather!

You can say this about every problem the police are trying to address. There are thousands of gangs. We are losing the war on drugs. We don't catch every rapist. We don't catch every act of vandalism. Etc.
Do you not acknowledge that the Venezuelan gangs have been put on steroids since Puddinhead flung open the border? Or do you simply not GAF?
 
He gets to die in prison. I wonder if it was worth it.
As a TdA member, after January 20th it’s highly questionable that it will be an American prison he dies in, unless prison justice gets him first.

They should just repatriate him via a helicopter trip or send him home and put out the word that he snitched while in custody.

If if they send him back to Venezuela, he'll be back here in a month. Now if he happens to fall out of that helicopter....

Commentator just made a great point. There are more animals like this guy out there. And they target women.


And instead of doing anything about it, leftist want to feed, house, and fly these gang members all over the country and shout down anyone that disagrees
 
Given the fact that the Mexican government did virtually nothing to stop these massive caravans from crossing their territory into America, perhaps one or more of these could be stationed right on the Texas side of the border, at least for dispatching known criminals. Granted, landings and associated cleanup would be messy, but these should effectively eliminate the problem of returnees. See .
 
In my current **** hole of a city that I work in I’ve seen more drugged out homeless dudes than I could shake a stick at. Wonder where some of those drugs are coming from? Are you skeptical of the problems that Latin gangs cause? Also had an illegal kill someone that I knew in a drunk driving accident. Not gang related obviously but yet another problem we’d not have had we secured our border. I want to test your ideological consistency. What is your opinion on Ukraine?

Sounds like a whole lot of nothing that you can tie to TDA. This is good news. It means you probably don't have to live in fear.

Latino gangs commit crimes, of course. But homeless people do drugs and I promise you that they will get them without TDA.

I just don't understand all the hysteria about this specific gang. I mean, I do understand it, but it's stupid. It's just politicized fear-mongering. I was at my cousin's last week, and he had Fox News on, and the story they covered for a good 20-30 minutes was about a robbery in NY that they think they had tied to TDA...genuinely, WTF? A robbery in NY? The crips and bloods are committing robberies every day in America. It's only a national news story because it scares people. Why aren't we scared of the crips and bloods, too? The answer is because we shouldn't be living in fear in either case. It's not real news. It's not newsworthy. I cannot believe that people in TN would let a simple robbery in NY occupy their minds like that.

TdA is some bad hombres but why exactly are we supposed to be so afraid? We've got a murder suspect. We've got one overblown story out of Colorado. What else? Ever since then, we've got the media desperately looking for crimes to tie to them and the best we got for a whole day's news cycle is a robbery in NY. I think this speaks volumes about how fearful we should be right now. Maybe the gang will become some huge problem. I don't really see how that's possible, but I guess maybe?

FTR, this is the whole section on US operations on the TdA wiki page.

United States​

Tren de Aragua began emerging throughout the United States during the administration of President Joe Biden, and saw a surge of migrants crossing the Mexico-U.S. border, particularly from Venezuela.[13] Telemundo, citing multiple criminal cases against suspected members of the gang, wrote in March 2024 that it shows "an increasingly widespread presence of the band also in the United States."[14] In January 2024, the Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed reports that the gang was operating in the United States.[15] On July 11, 2024, the US Treasury Department and the White House announced sanctions against the gang and designated it a "transnational criminal organization". The State Department is also offering a $12 million reward for information leading to the arrest of the organization's leaders.[16] In 2024, U.S. officials at the U.S.-Mexico border implemented enhanced interviews of single Venezuelan male migrants in order to screen for Tren de Aragua members. Tren de Aragua members have been linked to crimes throughout the United States, including murders.[1]

Tren de Aragua first appeared in Chicago and its suburbs in October 2023.[3][17] Chief Garry McCarthy of Willow Springs estimated that hundreds of gang members were present in the city.[17] However, the Chicago Sun-Times reported in November 2023 that "A Sun-Times analysis found shoplifting and domestic violence arrests, but little proof of the gang's presence among migrants."[18]

In New York City, the gang has been linked to shootings, thefts in retail stores, street robberies, forced prostitution, extortion, and drug dealing.[1][13][19] Members of the gang frequently live or have lived in the city's migrant shelters. The New York Times reported that Tren de Aragua is believed to recruit new gang members from within the migrant shelters.[13]

In Aurora, Colorado, surveillance footage of gunmen attempting to enter apartments went viral,[20][21] leading the city's mayor, Mike Coffman, to state that the gang had "infiltrated" various apartment buildings in the area.[22] However, such claims were downplayed by the Aurora Police Department, which stated that, "Based on [their] initial investigative work, we believe reports of [Tren de Aragua] influence in Aurora are isolated."[20] Nonetheless, claims that Aurora was overrun by the gang were highlighted on right-wing news outlets, and by former President Donald Trump, as part of his presidential campaign's focus on illegal immigration.[23]

FBI agents in El Paso, Texas reported that 41 suspected members of the Tren de Aragua were arrested in 2023.[24]

In 2024, the Salt Lake City metropolitan area experienced an uptick of crime linked to Tren de Aragua, including a September 2024 shooting in the Salt Lake City suburb of Herriman. Most of the reported crimes, which included theft, illegal drug distribution, and sextortion, did not involve non-gang members.[25]

Found another suspected murder, but this is the killing of one of their own. I'm scouring the internet....why is it so hard to stack bodies on these guys if we're supposed to be so afraid? Chat GPT confirms what I found via Google...there are only the two known murders.
