The Dec. 5 raid at an apartment building on the edge of Crotona Park landed seven alleged gangbangers in handcuffs, including a troublesome 28-year-old Venezuelan national who was wearing a court-ordered monitoring device that led the feds to the crew. This operation highlights the ongoing challenges in tracking and managing individuals on release.
According to law enforcement sources, most of the gang members busted inside the Bronx apartment were sought on multiple warrants after crossing the US border with Mexico - then disappeared. This demonstrates the difficulties authorities face in dealing with migration-related crime.
"I think people are finally starting to realize how bad the situation has gotten," said former Denver ICE chief John Fabbricatore, indicating growing awareness of gang activities linked to migrant influx. His comments underscore the public's evolving perception of immigration-related crime.
The raid was nonetheless a significant blow against TdA, the violent gang that snuck into the US with a wave of migrants seeking asylum since 2022 - and gained a foothold in New York. This reflects the broader implications of immigration policy and crime.
