The brutal Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua has established a significant criminal presence in the U.S., exploiting vulnerable migrants and thriving amid alleged 'open borders' policies.
Operating out of taxpayer-funded city shelters, Tren coerces young migrants into criminality, trafficking drugs and guns while running a network of brothels in major cities.
NYPD has been actively targeting Tren's expansion, but despite recent arrests of linked migrant gangs, Tren de Aragua continues to grow and operate with impunity.
As noted by NYPD Chief Joseph Kenny, while not every migrant is a criminal, some are indeed fleeing gangs like Tren, complicating the narrative.
