According to a New York Post report, federal agents arrested more than 50 members of violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua in Denver over the weekend.
Tren de Araagu made headlines last year for over-running an apartment complex in Aurora, CO.
From The New York Post:
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said agents in Colorado interrupted an “invite-only party” where dozens of the gangbangers were cutting loose in Adams County, just outside Denver city limits.
The busts netted cash, weapons, guns and drugs — including Tusi or “pink cocaine,” a powerful narcotic that the gang has played a major role in distributing across the US.
Video released by the DEA’s Rocky Mountain Division showed a white bus full of the busted gang members being escorted on the snowy roads by law enforcement vehicles.
The arrests ensnared around 50 Tren de Aragua members in all, marking the latest in the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds who pose a potential threat to public safety.
“We want the country to know that we will all support the president’s priority to round up the most dangerous illegal criminals,” DEA acting administrator Derek Maltz told The Post.
“The president and the DOJ leaders have made it clear that we are going to work together with a sense of urgency to hold violent criminals accountable,” Maltz said.
“The citizens of this country must feel safe every day throughout the country. One of my goals is to help build an army of good to fight evil.”
