A video went viral earlier this week depicting the Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua allegedly assaulting a man in a North Dallas neighborhood.
Several multiple local outlets have covered the video, connecting it to assertions that a Venezuelan gang is taking over a neighborhood in North Dallas.
It should be noted that this video is a year old according to Dallas police sources that were in contact with WFAA. Law enforcement sources also claimed that this was an isolated incident and not related to organized gang activity
However, in a separate instance, law enforcement officials announced that the Dallas police department is investigating gang activity in the North Dallas area connected to Tren de Aragua.
“Our department is collaborating with other agencies to address possible crimes linked to this and other gangs in our city,” Dallas police announced in a statement.
The aforementioned video was recorded in October 2023 and the case is apparently close. The video footage shows a group of Spanish-speaking males brutally pummeling a man. Gang unit officers launched an investigation of the incident and swept through the apartments in the Haverwood Lane area of North Dallas. Law enforcement initially believed that the assault was not connected to gang activity.
Libs of TikTok reposted this video on X on September 3. This same account also disseminated information about the Tren de Aragua gang moving into several apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado. This incident has sparked uproar as allegations of the Venezuelan gang taking over these complexes have begun to proliferate across the web. These claims gained steam after the release of a video showing armed individuals inside one of the apartment buildings.
Tren de Aragua is Venezuela’s most powerful homegrown gang and is the only Venezuelan gang that has expanded its influence abroad. It went from a prison gang confined to the Venezuelan state of Aragua to a transnational outfit that has terrorized the populations of countries such as Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and the United States.
Tren de Aragua’s growth has alarmed US lawmakers, which prompted the Treasury Department to sanction Tren de Aragua for its role as a transnational criminal organization in July 2024. On top of that, the US State Department has offered $12 million in rewards for information that leads to the arrests of three of its key leaders.
Heightened gang activity in the US will become a reality as the immigration floodgates remain open. Mass migration only guarantees that the US will be a hellscape of chaos and instability for future generations.
For the sake of our posterity, we owe it to them to leave behind a polity marked by social-economic prosperity and stability. The first step in securing that is by restricting all forms of immigration — illegal and legal.
