Ray Kelly emphasized the urgent need for federal intervention, stating that New York City's current police force lacks the resources to effectively combat the migrant gang crisis caused by Tren de Aragua, particularly in Times Square where gang members operate from temporary shelters.
According to Kelly, the restrictive sanctuary laws in New York hinder local police from accessing vital intelligence related to gang activities, creating an environment where criminal elements can thrive unmonitored.
The former police commissioner criticized the city’s contracted security personnel for emergency shelters, arguing they offer minimal support against Tren de Aragua gang activities, underscoring the necessity for a coordinated federal response.
