A federal alert from Homeland Security warns the violent Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, has given the ‘green light’ to attack and open fire on Denver law enforcement officers.
A Homeland Security alert obtained by the New York Post says the intelligence was reported to the feds from law enforcement in Albuquerque citing credible human sourcing.
“The Albuquerque New Mexico Police Department (APD) has released this officer safety bulletin to notify law enforcement of information regarding the Tren De Aragua criminal organization and reports that TDA members in Denver have been given a “green light” to fire on or attack law enforcement,” said the New Mexico alert.
The gang has been linked to human trafficking of immigrant females, contract killings, kidnappings, smuggling and organized retail theft.
It’s unclear whether the warning came before or after neighboring Aurora officers dealt with a massive pop-up party of 4,000 Venezuelans who gathered Sunday as the country’s disappointing presidential elections results were made known.
The Denver Police told The Gazette they are now aware of the warnings, while Aurora officials said they are “aware of criminal activity at properties where there is a high concentration of residents who are Venezuelan migrants.”
More than 10 million people have tried to cross the border during the Biden/Harris administration, including 800,000 Venezuelans.
Denver is one of the major U.S. cities reporting the highest number of migrants from the troubled country that’s ruled by a socialist president.
Federal authorities have opened 100 major criminal investigations targeting the gang, reports NBC News.
