Venezuelan Gang Members: Tren de Araguas

Trump has said for years that Venezuela has been emptying their prisons and sending the inmates north to our border.

Now, it is quite certain that he was right about violent ILLEGALS spreading all over the U.S., but primarily focusing on sanctuary cities.

So, the morons in our local and federal governments that created this situation will be held accountable.

Meanwhile, the citizens pay the price.

This is the Democrats’ border.

This is Kamala’s border.

And, as we have written on yourtruthmaynotbemine.com many times, all this was purposeful to create chaos to justify government control and to develop new Dem voters.

Venezuelan Gang Terrorizes North Dallas Neighborhood Sep 4, 2024

The Dallas Police Department has made a shocking admission: The Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua has moved into North Texas.

The violent gang — known for its role in sex-trafficking girls and women and for terrorizing its fellow Venezuelan immigrants — has established a foothold for their menacing trade in the Oaks of North Dallas apartment complex, located in the 4700 block of Haverwood Lane.

‘We have had gang activity in the north Dallas area linked to the Tren De Aragua gang from Venezuela,’ Dallas Police Department spokeswoman Jennifer Pryor told DailyMail.com.

The apartment complex is in the District 12, represented by Cara Mendelsohn. The Dallas Express reached out to Mendelsohn, but she did not immediately comment.

The revelation of Tren De Aragua’s push into Oaks of North Dallas comes after video posted on social media appears to show a Venezuelan gang pummel a man senseless somewhere in Dallas. Gunshots can be heard fired in to the background.

In a startling and surprising admission, the Dallas Police Department confirmed Tren De Aragua is in North Texas committing crimes, DailyMail.com can reveal.

The notorious South American mob best known for sex trafficking girls and women and exploiting their fellow Venezuelans, crossed the US-Mexico border in recent years — as DailyMail.com was first to report — mixed in with asylum-seeking migrants, and is behind a crime wave stretching from Miami to New York.

Last week in Aurora, Colorado, gang members were seen in a video storming an apartment complex armed to the hilt with assault rifles and banging on doors.

In North Texas, the criminal organization’s presence had been rumored for at least a year, but for the first time ever, law enforcement officials have publicly confirmed their arrival.

‘We have had gang activity in the north Dallas area linked to the Tren De Aragua gang from Venezuela,’ Dallas Police Department spokeswoman Jennifer Pryor told DailyMail.com.

Texas cops stopped short of detailing what specific crimes TdA, as the gang is known by federal agents, has been involved in locally– citing on-going investigations.

‘Our department is collaborating with other agencies to address possible crimes linked to this and other gangs in our city,’ Pryor added.

This latest development is the next logical step, after TdA established its new headquarters on the US-Mexico border, just south of El Paso, Texas.

In Texas’ sixth largest city, about a nine hour drive from Dallas, police are working on a confidential plan to address the growing threat, insiders told DailyMail.com last month.

As a DailyMail.com investigation revealed, Venezuelan migrants have infiltrated food delivery and ride-share apps, renting or buying accounts that do not belong to them and showing up at your door illegally.

In many cases, the migrants working under assumed names and identities don’t have authorization to work in the US or a driver license to legally operate a vehicle.

It raises huge concerns about the safety of the home delivery apps and the consumer’s ability to trust who is actually delivering food to their home and family – with customers’ personal information potentially placed in the hands of dangerous street gangs.

The Venezuelan community in Dallas is concentrated in an enclave in the northern part of the city, named Villa Dallas by the Venezuelan migrants who first arrived there years ago.

Thugs living in the area plunged Villa Dallas into mayhem, an October 2023 report by by DailyMail.com showed.

The neighborhood became the scene of illegal street races, beatings, shootings and extortion attempts.

One disturbing clip shared by a resident shows a man with a shirt over his head wailed on by several men. The man appears to be unconscious until he moves his arm and is then kicked in the head.

Meanwhile, a car’s tires can be heard screeching in the background as shots are fired into the air.

‘Don’t kill him says a by-stander.’

The person who posted the video to Instagram identified local gangsters who he says are behind the bedlam.

Conservative estimates put the Venezuelan population in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex at at least 20,000– many of them living in Villa Dallas.

‘Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the situation is out of control,’ said a renter at the Oaks at North Dallas who didn’t want to be identified.

‘These men hang around the complex drinking and doing drugs. Next thing you know, it’s bullets flying and people fighting. When I first arrived, it was calm, but things have changed in the last few months.’

In July 2023, the Dallas Police designated The Oaks as a habitual crime property and confirmed officers have increased their presence there.

‘Our Neighborhood Police Officers are setting up a crime watch meeting to speak with tenants and address the crime in the area,’ Dallas police said in a statement.

Law-abiding migrants who have the money to move out have already left, and those who don’t try to keep their heads down and hope they don’t get hit by a stray bullet or sucked into the violence.

‘I work long hours, so I’m hardly ever here, but I’m still afraid for my son,’ another resident added. ‘They like to races here, in the parking lot of the apartment complex. You hear them going around and around and you worry someone might get run over.’

Since Dallas police first moved in to crack down on crime in Villa Dallas, the apartment that was the center of the chaos is under new management, and many of the trouble markers have been forced out.

However, residents say the trouble makers have simply re-located, not left. In July, the US government designated TdA as a transnational criminal organization.

Tren de Aragua is the largest criminal organization in Venezuela with more than 5,000 members. The transnational criminal organization has managed to spread its terror very quickly throughout South America.

Members of the violent gang are believed to be linked to criminal cases in five states, including Illinois and Indiana, local law enforcement officials told NBC News in June.

Authorities confirmed to NBC News they’re investigating more than 100 criminal cases connected to suspected members of Tren de Aragua, and NBC Chicago confirmed at least two members have been arrested in Cook County for narcotics and weapons-related charges.

In January, intelligence divisions of the Cook County Sheriff's Office confirmed through internal emails obtained by Telemundo Chicago that members of the gang are in Chicago.

A spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations told NBC Chicago in a statement the agency "is committed to working with our law enforcement partners to combat emerging threats and trends wherever we encounter them, including those involving transnational criminal organizations (TCOs)."

"HSI Chicago is aware of recent violent crime arrests involving individuals allegedly associated with the Tren de Aragua gang and continues to monitor emerging trends and assist partner law enforcement agencies," the statement read. "Any person with information related to TCO activity can submit an anonymous report by calling the HSI tip-line at 877-4-HSI-TIP."

The viral 911 call in Chicago resembled a recent situation in Colorado, in which video showing people carrying guns at an Aurora apartment complex was widely shared and led to what authorities said was the spread of misinformation.

Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston told NBC affiliate station 9NEWS in an interview Thursday that the situation was exaggerated.

Coffman told the station that while some residents of apartment buildings in the city are being intimidated by a Venezuelan gang, Aurora police were handling the situation and making arrests, with police calling the gang activity "isolated."

While Tren de Aragua's presence in both cities has been confirmed, Coffman and Johnston said inaccurate reports of the scope of the problem have led to unexpected complications.

"It's overwhelming our 911 system, or our emergency call center, and so it's actually hurting our ability to respond to crime," Coffman told the station. "I would hope people would not do that. I think we're in some sort of environment of hysteria right now over this. It's a real issue. It's being dealt with. It's isolated."

Still, on Aug. 30, Coffman reported on Facebook that the Aurora City's Attorney's office was preparing documents requesting an emergency court order "to clear the apartment buildings where Venezuelan gang activity has been occurring."

That same day, a video from the Aurora Police Department showed officers patrolling The Edge at Lowry Apartments. Interim Aurora Police Chief Heather Morris said in the video that after speaking with residents, officers, who have been out in the area "for weeks," discovered "there's definitely a different picture."

"I'm not saying that there's not gang members that don't live in this community, but what we're learning out here is that gang members have not taken over this complex," Morris said, noting that people paying their rent to gang members is "not happening."

The city of Aurora also published a lengthy message on X hours later, saying, "there has been a lot of misleading information shared about what is happening in our city"

"Aurora is a safe community. Media have conflated and considerably exaggerated incidents that are isolated to a handful of problem properties alone. Yes, we are concerned that there is a small Tren de Aragua (TdA) presence in Aurora and we have been taking it seriously," the post read. "We have responded. We have made arrests. We will continue to make arrests. We will continue to address the problems that the absentee, out-of-state owners of these properties have allowed to fester unchecked. Aurora will aggressively pursue all actions available under city code and criminal statute."

Johnston added that Tren de Aragua's presence in Denver is smaller than "many other organized criminal networks that might have been here for decades," though he said he's "monitoring closely."

On Aug. 30, Gov. Jared Polis said Colorado "is a zero tolerance state for illegal activity," adding that "taking over buildings has no place in Colorado, and I am confident that the city of Aurora shares this basic value and will enforce the law if it is being violated there."

Colorado’s Democrat Governor Jared Polis is ridiculing claims that violent, gun-toting migrant gangs are taking over apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado, despite clear video evidence and confirmation issued by the town’s own mayor. This week, video has gone viral showing migrants carrying pistols and rifles through the halls of an apartment complex in Aurora, a suburb near Denver. According to reports, the migrants are members of the dangerous Venezuelan street gang Tren de Aragua, which has exploded in membership here in the United States as a result of the Biden-Harris border crisis.

UPDATE: We have received specific questions from the public about Jhonardy Jose Pacheco-Chirino also known as “Cookie” or “Galleta.” We previously announced his arrest in connection to a July 28 shooting. We are able to confirm Pacheco-Chirino, 22, pictured here, is a documented member of Tren de Aragua (TdA). The department is not aware of his status within the gang. He is currently in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). On July 28, 2024, at about 4:30 a.m., APD officers responded to a report of shots fired outside of 1568 Nome St. When they arrived, they found two adult males suffering from gunshot wounds. A third adult male was found with a broken ankle. Officers arrested Pacheco-Chirino soon thereafter. APD had previously arrested Pacheco-Chirino in March 2024 for an aggravated assault at 1568 Nome St. that happened in November 2023. He later bonded out. Pacheco-Chirino has been in ICE custody since his second arrest on July 28. In the coming days, we will provide a more comprehensive, public update with additional, accurate information about this criminal group and its affiliates. APD continues to proactively and fully investigate criminal activity and its possible connections to criminal organizations and their members. Officers have been consistently monitoring areas of concern. We understand the distress our community is feeling, and we want to provide reassurance that we are committed to keeping our community safe and putting criminals in jail.
