Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan Biden “migrant” gang that has established a beachhead in the United States, took over four apartment complexes in San Antonio, Texas.
Able to do so only because President Joe Biden imported it, the gang is operating not only Texas, but also Colorado, Illinois, and New York.
The latest exposé by the Daily Mail paints a frightening picture of an outfit officials call the “epitome of evil.”
It not only deals drugs, but also prostitutes women and kids.

“Just last week a small army of police officers raided an apartment complex in San Antonio and arrested 19 individuals — including four gang members,” the website reported:
Law enforcement sources confirmed TdA had been operating at the Palatia Apartments for five to six months — squatting in empty units they either rented out to other migrants, used as a base to deal cocaine or, most horrifically, as prostitution dens to pimp out women and children.
But now DailyMail.com can reveal that this apartment invasion is just the tip of the iceberg in the major southern Texas city, with at least three other rental properties also occupied by the criminal organization.
The website won’t reveal the other locations because cops, who confirmed the website’s information, are investigating.
The news sounds as if San Antonio is about to become a war zone.
On October 5 before dawn, the website continued, cops raided the Palatia complex after they learned the gang “had control of the area.” The raid included drones and helicopters.
“Every department was here,” a woman told the website. “They were wearing helmets and body armor.”
Police searched 300 units and came away, again, with 19 arrests, including four TdA members, the website continued:
“One TdA member is a confirmed ‘enforcer’ for that gang,’ and 15 were in the country illegally,” the city’s top cop William McManus said.
Mobsters, who brazenly showed off gang tattoos, or wore red clothing, were squatting in empty units where they sold drugs or humans, he added.
“They had women and children and were prostituting the women and the children,” said one resident.…
TdA had also threatened apartment property staffers who discovered their criminal schemes.
The work of an undercover cop who infiltrated the gang led to the Palatia raid.
HQ in Juarez
The gang has expanded through the years with the mass emigration of Venezuelans across South and Central America, as The New American reported yesterday. And now, of course, it has become a nationwide threat in the United States.
In August, the Daily Mail divulged that TdA moved its headquarters to Juarez, Mexico, just across the border from El Paso.
There, “it is kidnapping asylum-seeking migrants who are attempting to enter America,” the website reported:
In South Texas, TdA set up shop in an area just … north of San Antonio’s Migrant Resource Center, a shelter run by Catholic Charities that has welcomed over 120,000 migrants since the organization start[ed] tracking numbers in 2023.…
[McManus] added that authorities knew of other locations where the criminals were operating and would be making more arrests.
At one of the TdA controlled complex, a woman resident told the website, men who don’t work yet somehow pay rent have occupied every unit in the back row.
“At a different property, a maintenance worker said they believe TdA members are living there because he has seen Venezuelans walking around shamelessly showing off well-known Tren de Aragua tattoos,” the website reported:
“They don’t care to be discreet about who they are,” the worker added. “I think in their country, being a part of that group is a big deal, so maybe they feel it’s a big deal here, too.”
The maintenance worker was able to give detailed descriptions of the well-known train tattoo associated with TdA.
El Paso, New York, Chicago
TdA also took over a hotel in El Paso, where cops responded to calls some 700 times. In Dallas, a TdA member is charged with the brutal robbery of a woman in her home.
And they did the same thing in Aurora, Colorado, where four gang members are charged with attempted murder.
All four were caught at the southwest border trying to enter the country illegally, but on the longstanding orders of Joe Biden, were released.
In New York City, TdA members as young as 11 years old are robbing pedestrians and tourists in Times Square. The gang members carry guns and knives.
Citing police, the New York Post reported 21 kids are in a pack who “hang out every day” and brag about their exploits on social media.
Their name: Los Diablos de la 42 — The Devils of 42nd Street. Cops have arrested them for 50 crimes but none of them have gone to jail because of the Empire State’s lenient approach to crime.
The Diablos are operating out of the “migrant” shelter set up at the Roosevelt Hotel, the Post reported.
The gang also mob-attacked two New York City cops.
The gang is also big in Chicago, where it is battling with black gangs.
A former gang member told the New York Post that an all-out gang war is ahead.
“When the black gangs here get fed up with the illegalities and criminal activities of these migrants or non-citizens,” he said, “the city of Chicago is going to go up in flames and there will be nothing the National Guard or the government can do about it when the bloodshed hits the streets. It’ll be blacks against migrants.”
