Texas law enforcement raided a vacant San Antonio apartment complex that had fallen under the “control” of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang, which was using the building as a base for crime, officials said.
SAPD had received several complaints from the apartment complex regarding narcotics, human trafficking and threats to apartment personnel, according to police.
In the Big Apple, Tren de Aragua is trying to recruit foot soldiers to force women into sex trafficking to fund gang activity.
Twenty people were arrested, four who are confirmed Tren de Agua members — including one person who is an “enforcer,” he said.
“We had information that members of the transnational gang Tren de Agua were in control of the area and committing various crimes,” McManus said.
“We are coming for you and we know where you are.” More than 100 suspected members of Tren de Aragua (TdA) were a part of the group that violently stormed the border at El Paso, Texas in March.
Saturday’s bust was law enforcement’s first takedown of a known gang location, but the chief said “We have other places we are going to hit.” “We are onto you,” he told the gang members.
