Biden-Harris administration acknowledges increase in violent migrant crime fueled by DHS
Prepare yourself for the spread of violent migrant crime.
The Tren de Aragua, a brutal Venezuelan prison gang, has now expanded its presence to at least 16 states and Washington, DC, according to an internal memo from Homeland Security.
Virginia, Montana, and Wyoming are the most recent states to be added to the list of areas affected by the gang’s activities.
The memo warns that the gang’s “violent tendencies” have only increased over time.
It is important to note that this is not meant to spread fear about migrants, as some may suggest; this information comes from officials within Alejandro Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security, the agency responsible for failing to prevent violent gangs from entering the country, and at times even allowing them to enter.
President Biden’s open border policies, overseen by DHS, have allowed millions of migrants to enter the country, including gang members due to insufficient vetting procedures.
Despite claims by the president and Mayorkas that the border is secure or at least “under control,” even DHS acknowledges (at least internally) that migrant crime and violence are on the rise.
The memo expresses concern about the potential for violent Tren de Aragua migrants as the Venezuelan population in the US continues to grow.
The crimes committed by members of Tren de Aragua have been severe: Jose Ibarra, a member, is currently on trial for the murder of nursing student Laken Riley. (Biden’s team even paid for his flight from NYC to Georgia, where the murder occurred.)
In Aurora, Colorado, gun-wielding criminals have taken control of entire apartment complexes, engaging in violence and extortion.
In the DC area and northern Virginia, they are known to rob and assault victims without restraint.
In New York, they have clashed with law enforcement, attacked officers, committed robberies, and participated in gun smuggling.
They are also believed to be involved in sex trafficking on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens.
This is the disturbing legacy left by Biden and Mayorkas.
President-elect Donald Trump and his team, with Kristi Noem at DHS and former ICE head Tom Homan as border czar, have vowed to make addressing this issue their top priority.
This will involve putting an end to the current border chaos, which allows millions to enter the country illegally.
It will also involve actively pursuing and deporting criminal migrants who are at the core of the problem.
Time is of the essence: America cannot afford more tragedies like what happened to Laken Riley.
