The arrest of Jorgenys Robertson Cova came two days after the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), local and federal law enforcement officers raided a San Antonio apartment complex where the DPS said the TDA gang "had taken over vacant apartments and were engaged in illicit activities. This operation involved over 150 officers and agents who cleared over 300 units, arresting 16 Venezuelans and three United States Citizens. HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) determined four Venezuelans were members of TDA, and one was identified as a TDA "enforcer."
The TDA was also brought up by Texas Senator Ted Cruz this week during a televised debate with Democrat Colin Allred who is challenging him in the November elections.
“I hear about it everywhere I go. I hear about it in Dallas – the folks concerned about the Dallas woman who Venezuelan gangs broke into her house, tied her up, pistol whipped her with a gun…and robbed her.” -U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (October 15, 2024)
“Tren de Aragua has spread terror and carnage in every country they've been in, and Texas will not allow them to gain a foothold in our state. Texas will not let these thugs use our state as a base of operations to terrorize our citizens. With the public’s help ... we will capture these dangerous gang members and put them behind bars for good.” -Texas Governor Greg Abbott

Biden and Harris don't care they think they are going to win the election and then try to handle the crisis but that will be a mistake. They know they are loosing the race that's why Biden just sent more money to Ukraine and Kamala is acting like nothing is happening. Americans stand tall and let's make our America Great again.
