DHS identifies hundreds of migrants with possible ties to Tren de Aragua: Report

[Karah]

NEW DATA FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY SHOWS MORE THAN 600 MIGRANTS IN THE U-S MAY HAVE CONNECTIONS TO THE WELL-KNOWN VENEZUELAN GANG TREN DE ARAGUA. 

THE GROUP IS A GROWING CONCERN FOR THE F-B-I BECAUSE OF THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN HUMAN SMUGGLING, EXTORTION AND DRUG TRAFFICKING.

ACCORDING TO THE REPORT OBTAINED BY N-B-C NEWS – AROUND 100 OF THE 600 MIGRANTS D-H-S NAMED AS “SUBJECTS OF INTEREST” ARE *CONFIRMED* MEMBERS OF THE GANG THAT THE DEPARTMENT WANTED PUT ON AN F-B-I WATCHLIST.

D-H-S SAYS THE OTHERS COULD BE MEMBERS, VICTIMS OR WITNESSES. 

THE DATA ALSO REVEALS TREN DE ARAGUA HAS A KNOWN PRESENCE IN AT LEAST 15 STATES AND POSSIBLY 8 OTHERS.

MOST PEOPLE IN THE U-S FIRST LEARNED ABOUT THE GANG IN AUGUST WHEN A VIDEO OF ARMED MEN STORMING AN APARTMENT BUILDING IN AURORA, COLORADO WENT VIRAL.

AURORA POLICE LATER CONFIRMED MEMBERS OF THE GANG WERE IN THE CITY.

THIS ISSUE OF IMMIGRATION HAS BECOME A MAIN TALKING POINT IN THE FINAL WEEKS OF DONALD TRUMP’S PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. 

we will put these vicious and blood thirsty criminals in jail or kick them out of our country and we will be very effective in doing it.. And it’s going to happen very fast. 

TRUMP SAYS HIS OPPONENT KAMALA HARRIS HASN’T DONE ENOUGH ON THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE AS VICE PRESIDENT. 

HARRIS VISITED THE US-MEXICO BORDER IN SEPTEMBER AND PROMISED “COMMON-SENSE” SOLUTIONS.

ANCHOR:

D-H-S SAYS DETERMINING THE EXACT NUMBER OF TREN DE ARAGUA MEMBERS IN THE U-S IS A CHALLENGE BECAUSE UNLIKE MOST COUNTRIES, VENEZUELA DOESN’T SHARE ITS CRIMINAL HISTORIES WITH U-S OFFICIALS.

THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR BORDER AGENTS TO IDENTIFY THE GANG MEMBERS. 

FOR THAT REASON, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS BELIEVE THE NUMBER MAY BE HIGHER.
