A number of illegal immigrants affiliated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua were nabbed in Texas this week, according to the top U.S. border official.
A slew of illegal immigrants belonging to a bloodthirsty Venezuelan street gang were caught at the southern border this week, according to the top Border Patrol official -- just as lawmakers sound the alarm about the gang. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens announced that 10 migrants affiliated with Tren de Aragua were arrested across Texas. 'Keep your eye on this gang,' the chief warned.
The gang, known as TdA, hit the headlines earlier this year when it emerged that the brother of the suspect in the killing of Georgia student Laken Riley had affiliations with the gang. Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital on Thursday that the gang 'has unleashed violence across Central and South America.' 'Now, we’re seeing more people coming across the border illegally with ties to Tren de Aragua.
Absent action, there is a very real chance that our cities will begin to resemble the Latin American communities in which Tren de Aragua rose to power: places where people do not go out at night, extortion is a part of everyday life, and fear of brutality, rather than respect for law and order, rules the streets,' he warned.
