Report: Dallas Police confirm Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua is operating in the city, causing chaos

The Dallas Police Department confirms to the DailyMail.com that the Tren De Aragua gang is operating in North Texas. This notorious South American gang, known for sex trafficking and targeting fellow Venezuelans, entered the U.S. with asylum-seeking migrants. Their criminal activities now stretch from Miami to New York. Recently, gang members were caught on video in Aurora, Colorado, storming an apartment complex with assault rifles.

Rumors of the gang’s presence in North Texas had circulated for over a year, but this is the first official confirmation.

“We have had gang activity in the North Dallas area linked to the Tren De Aragua gang from Venezuela,” said Dallas Police Department spokesperson Jennifer Pryor tells the DailyMail.com .

Local authorities are collaborating with other agencies to address potential crimes linked to the gang.

The gang has also established a new headquarters near El Paso, Texas. Additionally, some Venezuelan migrants are exploiting food delivery and ride-share apps using rented or purchased accounts.
