The lax left-wing policies, driven by governments like that of Morena, have opened the doors to transnational criminal organizations that undermine national security.
The Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang born in prisons under the Chavista regime, has taken advantage of the porosity of Mexico’s borders to infiltrate Mexico City (CDMX), expanding its criminal network in just two years.
This organization, which has become one of the most violent and profitable in the capital, maintains absolute control over human trafficking on streets like Sullivan and Juan Aldama, in the Cuauhtémoc borough, where it forces foreign women to prostitute themselves to pay debts of between 12 and 14 thousand dollars incurred during their migration from the southern border.
The modus operandi of the Tren de Aragua, detailed in a report from the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), reveals a hierarchical structure with at least 26 leaders, headed by figures like Nelson Arturo Echezuria Alcántara, alias «Nelson Yamaha», who was detained in October 2025 along with other members for his alleged involvement in femicides and extortions.
