In a country where ‘sanctuary’ now means harboring Venezuelan prison gangs, Tren de Aragua’s child criminals mock NYPD officers in Times Square while our political elites lecture us about compassion.
At a Glance
- Tren de Aragua gang members, including children as young as 11, are terrorizing Times Square with robberies and assault on police officers
- Despite federal officials labeling the Venezuelan gang as a national threat, experts argue its presence in the U.S. is smaller than claimed
- The Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act to rapidly deport alleged gang members, proving Biden’s claims about immigration control being impossible are false
- Law enforcement identification of gang members often relies on questionable evidence like tattoos and clothing styles
- Criminal cases involving the gang typically target other Venezuelan migrants as victims
Venezuelan Gang Kids Running Wild in NYC
Remember when the left told us that immigrants just want to do the jobs Americans won’t do? You know, like picking fruits, cleaning hotel rooms, and… apparently assaulting NYPD officers in Times Square. The notorious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has made its way to the Big Apple, bringing with them a special brand of chaos that sanctuary city policies seem designed to protect. Most shockingly, some of these criminals are literal children who have racked up multiple arrests yet remain free to terrorize the streets, making a mockery of our law enforcement and legal system.
One frustrated cop reportedly asked, “Is this what a sanctuary city is supposed to be?” It’s a question that deserves an answer from the Democrats who’ve transformed major American cities into criminal playgrounds. An 11-year-old gang member has been arrested for at least five robberies and multiple grand larceny charges since arriving in New York City. Yet there he was, back on the streets, ready for his next crime spree. Welcome to progressive America, where criminal aliens have more rights than taxpaying citizens.
The Biden Border Crisis Reality Check
While the Biden administration has spent years claiming they’re doing everything possible to secure our border, Trump’s swift action against Tren de Aragua proves what conservatives have known all along – securing the border is entirely possible when you actually want to do it. Biden’s open-border policies created this crisis, and now American citizens are paying the price in cities across the nation. The administration’s willful blindness has allowed criminal organizations like Tren de Aragua to establish footholds in at least 14 states, with the most organized presence in six.
“You should ask the families of those killed, raped and maimed by gang members if they think the threat these terrorists pose to Americans are ‘overstated.'” – Tricia McLaughlin
While liberal media outlets like NPR and NBC News try to downplay the threat, claiming the gang’s presence is “smaller than federal officials claim,” the reality on the ground tells a different story. In Aurora, Colorado, Venezuelan migrants have essentially taken over entire apartment complexes, creating what local resident Jeanette Rodriguez described as “like taking a small city and putting it inside of a big city.” This dramatic demographic shift directly correlates with increased criminal activity, yet the left wants us to ignore the connection. Funny how that works.
The Liberal Media’s Dangerous Denialism
It’s telling that while Venezuelan children are brawling with NYPD officers in Times Square, the liberal media focuses on criticizing Trump’s deportation efforts rather than addressing the fundamental failure of Biden’s border policies. They’re more concerned with nitpicking the identification methods for gang members than acknowledging the wave of crime plaguing American cities. While experts debate whether a Nike “Jumpman” tattoo is sufficient evidence of gang affiliation, ordinary Americans are left wondering why we’re even having this debate instead of simply enforcing our immigration laws.
“What is it going to take for some of this policy to change when you have an 11, now 12-year-old, running around — or anybody — committing these crimes?” – the source
The sad truth is that the left’s immigration fairy tale – where every illegal immigrant is just a hardworking dreamer seeking a better life – has been thoroughly debunked by reality. While many migrants are indeed victims, including those targeted by Tren de Aragua’s sex trafficking operations, pretending there isn’t a serious criminal element among those crossing our border illegally is dangerous denialism. The Biden administration’s refusal to address this reality has enabled criminal gangs to establish operations across America, turning our cities into extensions of Venezuela’s lawless prison yards. American citizens deserve better than politicians who prioritize politically correct narratives over public safety.
