Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua gives 'green light' to members to shoot US cops, Homeland Security memo warns
[NYPOST] Members of the violent mostly peaceful Venezuela

...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeded places like Honduras and El Salvador. A significant proportion of the populace refugeed to Colombia and points south...

n gang Tren de Aragua have been given the "green light" to attack and open fire on cops in Denver, a federal memo obtained by The Post reveals.

The gang is already tied to hundreds of crimes, including the shootings of two NYPD cops who were trying to arrest one of its members in June.

"Credible human sources from Colorado provided information on TdA [Tren de Aragua] giving a ’green light’ to fire on or attack law enforcement," said the memo, from the Homeland Security Investigations office in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
Tren de Aragua members have infiltrated the US by crossing the southern border illegally and asking for asylum.

"As you may know, we have a TdA presence here in Chicago, so please be vigilant as you encounter TdA members or affiliates during your investigative and operational activities."

The memo added that "Credible human sources from Colorado provided" the intelligence via the Albuquerque Police Department.

The warning comes as Denver has gotten 42,000 migrants colonists — more per capita than any other US city — and many of them are from Venezuela.

The prison gang, whose name means "The Aragua Train" — a reference to the Aragua region in Venezuela — has infiltrated the US by sending members posing as asylum seekers across the southern border.

From there, its members have flocked to major US cities including New York, Chicago, Miami and Denver, where they engage in money laundering, gun smuggling, theft and human trafficking, according to reports.

The US Border Patrol only began tracking the group last year and has recorded catching 70 of its members, according to federal data.

However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
many are getting past law enforcement at the border and its vetting processes because younger members are careful not to get gang tattoos or other identifiers in order to stay under the radar, sources have told The Post.
