Bloodthirsty super gang Tren de Aragua moves its HQ to outskirts of major US city
2024-08-05
[DM] Venezuela's most violent gang, which has already sparked chaos across the US, has moved its headquarters to the outskirts of a major American city, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Dubbed the 'epitome of evil', the notorious criminal organization Tren de Aragua, or TdA as it is known by federal agents, previously operated out of an infamous South American prison so completely under gang leaders' control that it had its own zoo, swimming pool and nightclub.

But after kingpin Hector Guerrero Flores escaped last year, the mafia moved its command center to Ciudad Juarez in Mexico on the US border - directly across from El Paso, Texas, local officials told DailyMail.com.

El Paso officials, who asked to remain anonymous, now fear gang violence will spill over into Texas' sixth largest city - which is currently ranked among the top ten safest in America by the FBI.

Dozens of gangsters have already been caught trying to sneak into the US, with those who have been successful unleashing a terrifying crime wave across the country from Dallas to New York.

Border Patrol agents are now on high alert and have been warned to check migrants for telltale tattoos that can help identify gang members.
