Tren de Aragua Fuels Crime in Midtown – A Legacy of Joe and Kamala for NYC
Unknown three years ago in New York City, Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan “asylum-seeker” gang, has now become a significant issue in the city.
Data from the NYPD shows that TdA offenders have been arrested 517 times in the city just this year.
A group of 41 Tren TDA gang members were responsible for 143 of these arrests, with almost half of them occurring in Midtown’s busiest retail locations.
Out of the 517 arrests of TdA, “junior mafia” Los Diablos de la 42, and other related criminals, 295 or 57% took place in Midtown.
These crimes include robbery, grand larceny, assault, and car theft in popular tourist spots like Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and Radio City Music Hall. These incidents send a clear message to potential visitors to stay away.
The influence of TDA crime extends to communities in the outer boroughs, like Corona, where gang members are involved in gun and drug sales, especially the dangerous fentanyl mix known as “pink cocaine,” as well as sex trafficking.
While TDA gang members are not the only criminals taking advantage of the opened border under the current administration, they have a sense of added protection because the administration seems unable to deport Venezuelans, leading to more crime in areas like New York.
If there is any hope for relief from this threat, and future threats that may arise if Tren continues to grow, America must elect Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.
