Texas Governor Greg Abbott has pointed to President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, labeling them as responsible for the rise of the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, in the U.S. streets.
The violent group has gained a foothold across the country, with criminal activities linked to its members, many of whom have allegedly crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.
In March alone, 100 suspected members of Tren de Aragua were apprehended during a single border rush in El Paso.
Governor Abbott has expressed his concern about the ongoing immigration crisis, stating, “We’ve had under Biden and Harris more than 11 million individuals cross the border. We cannot go through another four more years of that.”
Expansion of Tren de Aragua
Tren de Aragua has established criminal networks in major cities, including New York City, Denver, Aurora, and Chicago. The gang has been directly tied to an increase in human trafficking and the fentanyl crisis across eight states: California, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Nevada, Texas, and Georgia.
