Biden brings Venezuelan gang violence into the US

Remember when Trump said countries were emptying their prisons and sending them to us? Remember the reaction?

Trump claimed that South American countries are emptying their prisons and “mental institutions” and sending those people to the U.S., but immigration experts tell us there is no evidence of that happening.
Uh huh. The same people tell us the border is secure.

Meet Tren de Aragua

Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan criminal gang spreading terror from Chile to Colombia

The organization, which is involved in crimes such as human trafficking, sexual exploitation and drug trafficking, is extending its tentacles in eight countries in the region

...“They realized that the way to survive was to look for ways to make money in other countries, because Venezuela was broke. One of the Tren de Aragua’s skills is being able to quickly identify what we could call criminal business opportunities. When countries began to put restrictions on Venezuelan migration, it was clear that the population was not going to stop leaving. What did they do? Guide migrants through irregular routes like the coyotes in Mexico. By controlling the trochas [informal roads], they also controlled the illicit merchandise,” explains Rísquez, who prefers not to give details of her current whereabouts.

They are here.

They're in Florida

A brutal Venezuelan street gang that controls sex trafficking in South America by branding women and young girls with tattoos behind their ears is exporting its violence to the US, according to reports.

Tren de Aragua, which is named for the Venezuelan state of Aragua, is now operating in South Florida following the arrest this week of a suspect wanted in a brutal murder in Miami, according to reports.

...Yurwin Salazar Maita was charged with the November murder of a retired Venezuelan cop outside a hotel near the Miami airport. Miami-Dade authorities say Salazar is linked to the brutal gang.

They're in Chicago.

They're rolling over New York City

Revealed: Brutally violent Venezuelan ‘Tren de Aragua’ gang is using migrant wave to launch NYC phone robbery spree

It’s a crime wave that has raised fears across the city: robbers on mopeds snatching people’s phones from their hands and speeding off.

In one especially brazen attack, moped-riding bandits dragged a 62-year-old woman down a Brooklyn street in December.

After the phones are stolen, the victims’ bank accounts are drained of cash, with fraudulent transactions in both the US and South America, and the phones themselves are sent to Colombia to be wiped, reprogrammed and sold.

Now The Post can disclose that the pattern of robberies is being linked by law enforcement to a brutal Venezuelan gang that is sending its members to New York as part of the migrant wave — and using its sprawling criminal empire to launder the proceeds of the crimes.

Remember the cops being beaten and a tourist being shot in Times Square? Tren de Aragua
At least two of the migrants charged in the shocking caught-on-video mob attack on two NYPD cops in Times Square are members of the notorious Venezuelan street gang “Tren de Aragua,” federal immigration officials told The Post on Thursday.

Wilson Juarez, 21, and Kelvin Servita-Arocha, 19, who are charged in the Jan. 27 attack on New York’s Finest, are being held without bail by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials as reputed members of the bloodthirsty gang that has made a footprint in the Big Apple.

“Both unlawfully present Venezuelan citizens have been charged in conjunction with the violent gang assault carried out on two NYPD officers are currently detailed without bond,” ICE spokeswoman Marie Ferguson said in an email to The Post.

“Both noncitizens have been identified as members of the Tren de Aragua transnational criminal organization,” Ferguson said.

The gang is recruiting in New York City.
NEW YORK CITY - The NYPD expressed new concerns about wider criminal networks recruiting NYC migrants after violent incidents attributed to migrant shelter residents gained national attention in recent weeks.

According to authorities, kingpins from the brutal Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua are orchestrating brazen moped robberies throughout the city.

And it might join forces with MS 13, another group Biden has enhanced.

The New York National Guard has been instructed to look for the gang tatoo

New York State National Guard troops are being told to check all migrants arriving in the Big Apple for distinctive tattoos linking them to the vicious Venezuelan “Tren de Aragua” street gang, The Post has learned.

The decree comes as the NYPD this week issued a “Situational Awareness Alert” warning that the brutal gang is increasingly making its presence known in the five boroughs — with members claiming asylum at the US border and flocking to New York to join other gangbangers.

“It’s to a point that they had to post policies on use of force like if we were in a combat zone,” one National Guard source said Wednesday.

It's the fastest growing criminal organization in the world

And it's growing quickly

The migrant moped gangs terrorizing the Big Apple are part of an illicit network of hoods peddling stolen goods from the five boroughs in Florida — and shipping the proceeds to South America, law enforcement sources told The Post.

“It’s much bigger than me,” accused migrant ringleader Franco Alexander Peraza Navas allegedly told the NYPD after getting nabbed for a string of local heists.

“In a million years, I never thought you’d catch me,” Navas, 30, allegedly told detectives. “I’ve been going to Miami every three weeks. And it’s much bigger than me.”

The Venezuelan migrant is allegedly part of a crew that has been linked to robberies throughout New York City, Yonkers, New Jersey and Florida — and tied to an illegal gun used in a Fort Lauderdale heist on Dec. 9, the sources said.

The same gun was used in a $279,000 robbery at Solid Gold Jewelry in Manhattan on Nov. 22.

How did this happen?

What a surprise!

Open the gates "no questions asked" to those from a criminal cesspool and what do you get?

Sounds like a plan, indeed!
