MS-13 gang may be forming an alliance with a Venezuelan gang linked to a crime wave in New York City.
The Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, has been involved in robberies and uses social media to recruit thieves.
It ships stolen phones to Colombia for resale after draining bank accounts.
The gang’s expansion in the U.S. is a concern for law enforcement.
El Paso FBI Special Agent in Charge John Morales said, “While these gangs wouldn’t normally mix, it’s always going to be a concern as the gang [Tren de Aragua] expands in strength and establishes a foothold.”
“Right now we are working with our local law enforcement partners and sharing intelligence in order to stop the growth of Tren de Aragua,” he continued.
Tren de Aragua has a violent history in Latin America and has recently entered the U.S. MS-13, already established in the U.S., has faced deportation efforts after brutal murders.
