Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang notorious for its brutality, has reportedly set up operations in New York City. According to law enforcement officials, the gang recruits migrants from shelters and buses arriving from Texas. These recruits are then involved in retail theft rings or moped crimes, targeting pedestrians and stealing valuables. Shockingly, the gang has been smuggling guns into city-run shelters, endangering both shelter residents and law-abiding families on the streets. The situation is reminiscent of MS-13, another violent street gang responsible for numerous murders in the NYC area. Authorities are closely monitoring Tren de Aragua’s activities and warn that the group aims to expand its international empire.
