A high profile ICE raid in New York City marks beginning of the end for Tren de Aragua nationwide. One branch of the vicious migrant gang won’t be sheltering in Democrat sanctuary any longer. The “absolute worst of the worst” migrant gangbangers “were knocked out of commission this week, in a bold nationwide sweep led by the NYPD.”
High profile raid
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem rode along with ICE agents on a recent raid in New York City.
They were big game hunting for Tren de Aragua leaders and bagged 10 of them in total. It’s “the beginning of the end” for the vicious migrant gang.
On Tuesday, January 28, “ten high-ranking members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua” were “knocked out of commission” by “a bold nationwide sweep” led by NYPD. The raid specifically targeted the “absolute worst of the worst.”
Officers and federal agents swooped in to seize “a cache of more than 30 illegal guns — including AR-15 assault rifles and a Glock 9mm with a trigger modification making it an automatic.”
Four of the “illegal immigrant goons” were captured in New York. Another four “are now in custody elsewhere including in Florida and Texas.”
Two of the ten targeted in the raid are still on the loose but won’t be doing much business. They’ll be rounded up shortly, officials promise.

Ghost criminals
One of the fugitives, Eduardo Garcia, wasn’t about to go along quietly and “allegedly got into a scuffle with cops when he was arrested.” ICE didn’t mind, they expected it and the raid progressed exactly as planned.
Tren de Aragua, NYPD Assistant Chief Jason Savino relates, “was quite possibly as big of a challenge as law enforcement has ever faced, where we dealt, quite possibly, for the first time, with what I referred to as ‘ghost criminals.‘”
Those, he explained, are individuals who “may have misrepresented their name.” They’ve been evading ICE radar. “So that’s challenging in and of itself.” That’s why they did a raid to turn the city upside down.

“This team is taking 10 of the absolute worst of the worst gang members, criminals in the entire city down today, and I am proud,” Savino said. “Be proud.”
They had a cute name for the project, “Operation Train Derailment.” The “vicious Venezuelan street gang established a foothold in the five boroughs after sneaking into the U.S. amid a flood of migrants from the border with Mexico.” We can thank Joe Biden for that.
This raid “came on the heels of an unrelated federal sweep that took down 25-year-old Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco, a leader of the gang sought on a warrant out of Colorado.” He was arrested in New York City after being involved in the apartment takeover which shook the city of Aurora last year.
