Apartments in Another City Are Being Taken Over by Tren de Aragua

Townhall previously covered how the violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua made headlines for "taking over" apartment complexes and wreaking havoc on residents in Aurora, Colorado. 

Horrifying footage showed the illegal aliens patrolling one apartment complex with a rifle. Video captured on a doorbell camera shows the men attempting to get into an apartment.

In response, Democrat Gov. Jared Polis called the anger and fear that’s arisen from this footage “imagination,” which Townhall also covered.

This week, Daily Mail reported that Tren de Aragua has taken over apartment complexes in Austin, Texas (via Daily Mail):

Just last week a small army of police officers raided an apartment complex in San Antonio and arrested 19 individuals - including four gang members.

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.

You can thank President Joe Biden’s lax border policies for allowing these criminals into the United States, jeopardizing the safety of Americans.

“One TdA member is a confirmed ‘enforcer’ for that gang, and 15 were in the country illegally,” Austin cop William McManus told Daily Mail.

One resident told the outlet, “They had women and children and were prostituting the women and the children.”

The gang members also threatened staff who discovered their illegal activities.

Last week, Townhall reported how a Tren de Aragua member who was arrested was trying to recruit middle school students in Houston.
