According to an important and revealing report by the American media, the New York Postthe important Venezuelan mafia, the Aragua Train, is already beginning to be felt strongly in the United States and is already leaving a “trail of blood.”
The main cities where it is operating and expanding are New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami and Houston (although the dangerous mafia is already present in much of Texas).
On this topic, Republican candidate Donald Trump took the opportunity to blame the increase in violence on the Democratic Party and its main candidate, Kamala Harris.
“The Biden administration gave away the border to migrants and gang members,” Trump said.
Harris responded that Trump is using migration as a means to reach the White House and that he “does not care about the fate of Americans.”
Expansion of the Venezuelan mafia in the United States
Guillermo Alberto Hidalgo, an expert on security and gangs in the United States, revealed for the New York Post that, “The United States has a serious problem with the Aragua Train.” Because in his opinion it is a criminal group made up of ruthless criminals who are formed with highly trained Venezuelan ex-military and ex-police officers who left their barracks and joined the mafia.”
Despite several arrests throughout the United States, this mafia is quickly reorganizing itself in accordance with the controls and operations carried out by the police and is recruiting new members efficiently and quickly.
The Aragua Train arrived in the United States infiltrated in the caravans of migrants arriving at the border between Mexico and the United States.
According to the authorities in the United States, the Tren de Aragua gang is already aligning itself with local gangs, which allows it to expand. In Los Angeles, it recruits migrants and forces them to traffic drugs or other migrants. In New York, Houston and Chicago, it is engaged in extortion, assault and robbery, and there are even cases of kidnapping and torture.
In 2024, Chicago police arrested Adelvis Rodríguez-Camona, the leader of this gang. Likewise, in Miami, the Tren de Aragua murdered a former Venezuelan police officer who defected from Nicolás Maduro’s regime.
In Texas, the criminal gang murdered a police officer and also uses extortion (the so-called “vaccines”) to business and home owners to gain economic resources and control territories.
Hidalgo said that these violent practices even intimidate other gangs and consolidate the strength of El Tren de Aragua.
