"Rising Concerns Over Venezuelan Migrant Gangs Infiltrating US Cities"
The FBI is concerned about the possibility of El Tren de Aragua, Venezuela's most violent gang, joining forces with criminal networks like MS-13 in New York City. Members of El Tren de Aragua have reportedly made their way to NYC and are suspected of engaging in criminal activities, including brazen phone robberies. The gang is also believed to be connected to a larger crime conspiracy involving stolen iPhones. El Tren de Aragua, which has expanded its influence under the lawless regime of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, is feared to be actively recruiting members in the city's shelters and has been using the migration wave to hide among legitimate asylum seekers.
