The Tren de Aragua gang is orchestrating violent attempts to infiltrate the U.S. border, leveraging mob tactics to overpower agents in the days leading up to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. A recent attack at El Paso, Texas, has heightened concerns over the gang’s intentions.
Last week, gang members swarmed a border gate in El Paso, reportedly targeting agents with coordinated assaults. A Texas Department of Public Safety memo indicated the gang plans additional crossings, with a significant effort expected on New Year’s Day.

Victor Avila, a former federal investigator, described the gang’s ideology as akin to terrorism. “They aim to destroy American values and institutions,” Avila said. “Their activities pose a grave threat to national security.”

Texas authorities have bolstered border defenses, deploying pepper balls and increasing security patrols. However, an unnamed informant revealed that the gang intends to target National Guard troops, exploiting moments when agents are stretched thin.
We are being violently invaded by murderous foreign insurgents with intent to destroy our way of life. Only traitors would allow that to happen.

This latest surge follows a similar incident last year when a mob attacked National Guard troops in El Paso. Many involved were released into the U.S., sparking outrage over the lack of accountability and the risks posed by unchecked migration.
I sort of hope this is true. (Laughing) Tren de Aragua thinks they can stop the US Army from securing our border? They're hallucinating.

The Tren de Aragua gang’s violent incursions highlight the critical need for immediate action to secure the southern border.
