Fears grow over spread of sadistic super gang Tren de Aragua across America… as expert issues chilling new warning

Fears are growing over the spread of a violent Venezuelan gang across the US, with experts warning the mobsters could have a foothold in more than half the country by February next year.

It emerged earlier this month that Tren de Aragua, which has been dubbed the ‘epitome of evil’ and ‘MS-13 on steroids’, is already operating in 18 states.

This includes some of the most remote corners of the America in Colorado, North Dakota, Montana, Nevada and Wyoming. The bloodthirsty criminals also maintain strongholds in major cities across Texas as well as New York and Chicago. 

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, former immigration and customs enforcement director for Colorado and Wyoming, John Fabbricatore, said: ‘We’re going to start hearing stories about them getting arrested everywhere.

‘They’re in 17 states now. I wouldn’t be surprised if by February, that’s higher than 25.’

Known as TdA to law enforcement, the gang originated in a Venezuelan prison. 

Members of the South American mafia have since crept into the US via the southern border, hidden among the one million Venezuelan migrants who have entered the country under the Biden administration.  

They can often be identified by telltale tattoos, including a train (‘tren’ is Spanish for train), a crown, a clock and an AK-47.

Earlier this year, Daily Mail revealed how the gang set up its new headquarters in the Mexican city of Juarez on the US border, just across from El Paso, Texas. 

And startling police investigations have showed how the mob is behind a spiraling crime wave across America, with gangsters accused of murders, violent attacks on cops and sex trafficking.

Mexico is Already Working to Block Mass Deportations – Developing an App to Help Illegal Aliens Fearing Imminent Removal

Mexico is developing a cellphone app designed to help illegal aliens who fear they may be deported.

With Donald Trump’s return to the White House now just weeks away, America’s massive illegal alien population are bracing themselves for the administration to deliver on their promise of carrying out mass deportations.

ABC reports:

Mexico is developing a cellphone app that will allow migrants to inform family members and local consulates if they think they are about to be detained in the United States, the country’s secretary of foreign affairs announced on Friday.

The app is expected to become available in January as President-elect Donald Trump, who has pledged to launch mass deportations of migrants living in the U.S. without legal permission on Day 1 of his second term, takes office.

In a press release, Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the app will alert the “consulate closest to their location about situations of imminent detention, notify family members who have previously been selected, as well as report to the Foreign Affairs Secretary.”

“The foreign affairs secretary was emphatic in pointing out that to deport someone from the United States you need a court order, a final sentence of deportation or removal, and that is where the consular team will be very aware that due process is complied with,” it continued.

Meanwhile, Mexico’s secretary of foreign affairs Juan Ramon De la Fuente warned that they will defend the human rights of its citizens in compliance with international law.

“In case you find yourself in a situation where detention is imminent, you push the alert button and that sends a signal to the nearest consulate,” he said.

“We want to tell our fellow countrymen that they are not alone and they will not be alone.”

An easier way to show illegals the door

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal by a Jess Bravin reported that attorneys general of many blue states are not going to give up quietly when Donald Trump, as president, begins to honor his election promises, such as the mass deportation of illegals.  “A host of blue states are staffing up and building out legal battle plans for Trump’s return trip to the White House.”

When Donald Trump will be sending ICE agents to blue sanctuary states to solicit help from local sheriffs and other police forces, the only response he may get is “civil and criminal litigation” from entities such as Maryland’s Federal Litigation Unit.

 No matter who may win in the long run, if there is a mere whiff of validity in their claim, even nonpartisan judges will feel obliged to order a stay of operations for the issue to be heard in detail.  Taking appeals into account, this could extend to six months if not much longer.

The problem with this, then, is not only “justice delayed is justice denied,” but more importantly, the psychological damage of slowing down the MAGA momentum since the election.

There is, however, quite a simple solution to this problem.

Oppositional claims that use of the state National Guard, the military, or local police is unconstitutional or otherwise illegal can be made only by the attorney general of the state where such forces have been requested or deployed, this being because no other state would have legal standing.

So why not begin the deportations in sympathetic red states?  And not just that, but of the 31 alleged states of that color, the ones generally identified as more sympathetic to the cause of deporting illegals and willing to help ICE wherever possible.

Just as, for the liberals in the media or beltway, a good result would be Donald Trump hamstrung by the courts in his attempts to manifest his primary election promise, even if temporarily, a good result for the new administration would be to have even only one state, to begin with, managing a clean sweep of illegals and removing them to destinations beyond the border.

MSNBC Guest Demonstrates That the Left Does Not Understand the Issue of Illegal Immigration at All 

Illegal immigration was one of the main issues in the 2024 election, rivaling the issue of the economy for most people. Joe Biden allowed millions of people to illegally cross the southern border and voters wanted it to stop.

MSNBC guest Lauren Leader shows that the left still does not grasp the enormity of the issue or what the people voted for.

In the segment below, she makes it clear that she (and many others like her) do not see this as a crime. They do not want America’s immigration laws enforced. She even tries to argue that deportation would be expensive, without ever addressing the massive costs of housing and feeding all of these people.

Partial transcript via the Western Lensman on Twitter/X:

MSNBC lib doesn’t think illegal aliens have committed a crime; worries about chaos and cost of deportations:

“That is what is disturbing…they see anyone who has entered the country as committed a crime…most Americans don’t see it that way.”

“This is going to be a lot of chaos.”

Um. If they entered the country illegally, they did commit a crime. Americans do see it that way and voted accordingly. The mass chaos and untold cost of mass *importation* hasn’t been a concern of theirs.

This kind of upside-down, bizarro-world stuff is what American voters rejected.

CNN’s Abby Phillip Gets Schooled by Rep. Lawler as He Shuts Down Her Claim That Deporting Illegals Is ‘Too Expensive’

CNN host Abby Phillip seemed more concerned with the cost of deporting illegal immigrants than the devastating financial and social toll their unchecked influx is already imposing on American taxpayers.

During an exchange with Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), Phillip’s attempt to question the feasibility of deportation efforts was met with a brutal dose of reality.

Phillip smugly suggested that deporting illegal immigrants might be too expensive, quipping that Homan “doesn’t seem to have a sense of the scope—what it’s going to take, what it’s going to cost.”

But Lawler, armed with cold, hard facts, quickly set the record straight, exposing the absurdity of Phillip’s argument.

Lawler brought up the tragic human cost of sanctuary policies, recounting a horrifying incident where a criminal alien—previously deported by the Trump administration but allowed back into the country by the Biden regime—committed an unthinkable act of violence by burning a woman alive on a subway.

He slammed sanctuary states and cities like New York for enabling such heinous crimes by refusing to cooperate with federal immigration law.

And it’s not just public safety that’s at stake—it’s the livelihoods of hardworking Americans. Lawler pointed out the hypocrisy of New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who burdens her state’s citizens with a $2,500 congestion pricing fee while simultaneously funneling taxpayer dollars into free services for illegal immigrants.

Report: Gov. Newsom Scheming Ways To Shield Illegals from Trump Deportation Effort

Democrat Cali. Gov. Gavin Newsom will use taxpayer money to help illegal aliens circumvent President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation operation ahead of his inauguration next month, reports claim.

According to an internal memo obtained by Politico, the governor’s team and the California Department of Social Services are working on an “Immigrant Support Network Concept” that would create “hubs” to “connect at-risk individuals, their families, and communities with community systems — such as legal services, schools, labor unions, local governments, etc.”

The unpublished memo says hubs would collect “critical” intel on communities “in order to coordinate policies statewide,” with a final plan to be introduced mid-January.

Migrant Charged with Murder for Lighting Sleeping Woman on Fire Chain Smoked Synthetic Drug, Shelter Roommate Claims

The Guatemalan migrant who shocked the world by lighting a sleeping woman on fire in a New York City subway chained smoked the synthetic drug K2, according to his homeless shelter roommate.

Sebastian Zapeta, 33, was arrested on Sunday after being spotted by high school students on the subway. He has been charged with first and second-degree murder, as well as arson.

Raymond Robinson, who slept next to Zapeta at the shelter, told the New York Post that the migrant was a heavy drinker who “bugged out” when smoking the K2.

“He said, ‘I’m going out to make my normal run,’ then the next thing I hear what he did on the news,” said Robinson.

Robinson said the accused murderer smoked about $30 worth of the drug per day.

“He smoked K2, drank and bugged out,” Robinson said. “He would bug out and talk to himself when he was high, but he never harmed nobody or himself. When he wasn’t high he’d talk like we’re talking regular.”

Zapeta told police that he was so drunk that he does not remember lighting the woman on fire.

“The migrants mainly get up in the morning, leave and come back drunk,” Robinson said. “He would come back drunk most days.”

The woman was asleep on the train as she was lit on fire by the suspect at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station around 7:30 a.m. on Sunday.

As she was engulfed in flames, Zapeta sat calmly on a bench and watched as she died.

Five-Time Deported Child Sex Predator Released Back to NYC Streets

A Mexican child sex predator who has been removed from the U.S. on five prior occasions was arrested again after being released by New York City authorities.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the latest apprehension of 36-year-old Raymond Rojas Basilio, a Mexican national with a shocking criminal record dating back more than two decades.

During a 4-day stretch in 2002, Rojas Basilio was caught by U.S. Border Patrol on three separate occasions after he made illegal entries near Douglas, Arizona.

Rojas Basilio voluntarily returned to Mexico following each interception.

“U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered Rojas Jan. 6, 2012, at Dennis DeConcini Port of Entry in Nogales, Arizona, when he applied for admission to the U.S. Rojas presented an Arizona Driver’s License and U.S Birth Certificate which CBP determined to be fraudulent. CBP processed Rojas, served him a notice and order of expedited removal and verified his departure to Mexico on the same date,” ICE explained in a press release.

Five days later, the Mexican pulled a similar stunt at Morley Gate Port of Entry in Nogales, Arizona, and was sent back to his home country by U.S. authorities.

Rojas Basilio then illegally crossed the border at an unknown date and time, making him one of millions of ‘gotaways’ lurking across the country.

On Aug. 28, 2023, Rojas Basilio was arrested by the New York Police Department and charged with first-degree sexual abuse with an individual less than 11 years old.

He was then released back to the streets with a future court date.

On Sept. 20, 2024, Rojas Basilio was convicted of forcible touching of the intimate parts of another person.

On Nov. 11, he was sentenced to just 60 days incarceration, six years probation, and ordered to register as a sex offender.

On Dec. 17, Rojas Basilio was arrested at his residence in Queens by officers with ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) New York City.

He is currently in ICE custody amid pending removal proceedings.

DeSantis Migrant Crackdown Boosts State’s Economic Performance

Ron DeSantis’s crackdown on illegal workers in Florida has boosted the state’s economic performance, despite gloomy predictions from the media, commentators and “experts” that it would do the opposite.

DeSantis took to Twitter earlier this week to hail the Sunshine State’s latest figures, which show, he claims, that “incentivizing more illegal immigration” is actually a counterproductive economic policy.

“FL’s best-in-the-nation legislation combatting illegal immigration generated the typical array of false media narratives,” DeSantis Tweeted.

“That such narratives blew up shows that good policy pays dividends. The goal needs to be disfavoring illegal immigration rather than—as is common across the US—incentivizing more illegal immigration.”

New economic data revealed Florida’s GDP grew by 3.2% from Q1 to Q2 2024. In addition, the state added 133,000 jobs between October 2023 and now.

In May, Florida passed a sweeping bill, SB1718, that includes mandatory E-verify rules for hiring workers, a ban on local governments issuing IDs to migrants, and harsh sanctions for businesses that hire illegals.

Forbes recently hailed DeSantis’s legislation as a model to be followed on the national level under the second Trump administration.

“So far, the critics have been wrong. Florida’s economy has continued to grow despite warnings about the impact of SB1718. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the state’s gross domestic product increased by 9.2% last year, tops in the nation and outpacing the national average by nearly 3 percentage points. In 2024, Florida’s economic growth remains strong, surpassing the national average in the first two quarters of the year, with Florida being one of just a handful of states to post 6% growth or higher in both quarters. This comes despite the Florida Policy Institute warning that the E-Verify requirement alone could cost the state $12.6 billion in its first year.”

Mass Deportations Would Save Americans $62 Billion a Year

“It would cost hundreds of billions of dollars to deport every undocumented immigrant in our country,” Senator Dick Durbin warned.
After losing the open borders debate and the election, Democrats and their media stopped arguing that mass migration is a right and that mass deportations violate human rights.

6 out of 10 registered voters were polled in favor of deporting illegal aliens. The American people had spoken.

So Democrats and their media instead argued that mass deportations would be too expensive. The American Immigration Council, an immigration lawyers lobby group funded by the Ford Foundation, Soros and other open borders groups, was quoted in the media as warning that mass deportations might cost $88 billion a year. None of the media outlets citing the AIC have reported what it is and who it represents, but have taken its $88 billion figure as fact.

This would still make a year of mass deportations cheaper than California’s $128 billion light rail to nowhere. And unlike the light rail to nowhere, the deportations would actually go somewhere.

Mass deportations would end cartel violence and restore national security making it a far better investment than the California train that the Biden administration had decided to fund again.

There’s no reason to take the AIC’s figure as fact. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has an $8 billion annual budget. It already ‘expels’ around a quarter of a million illegals and foreign criminals a year. ICE does more than just detain and deport illegals which our current deportation system often does in about the most expensive way possible. Illegals are currently deported on charter flights also used to fly executives around the country. There’s no reason for the ‘rock star’ treatment.

But let’s for a moment assume that the wildest estimates of open borders supporters are right.

One estimate of the costs of the border crisis ran to $150 billionin 2023. Even assuming that the $88 billion figure is correct, mass deportations would still provide a $62 billion net benefit.

But the $150 billion is likely only a part of the larger cost. Consider the story of one just city.
