According to a New York Post report, federal agents conducted a successful raid on a Tren de Aragua hideout after tracking a member of the gang to the location using his ankle monitor.

The December 5th raid of a Bronx apartment building on the edge of Crotona Park resulted in the arrests of seven members of the deadly Venezuelan gang.

The gang member wearing the ankle monitor, Jarwin Valero-Calderon, was free despite at least three busts, a Nassau County conviction, and a federal deportation order.

From The New York Post:

The raid was … a significant blow against TdA, the violent gang that snuck into the US with a wave of migrants seeking asylum since 2022 — and gained a foothold in New York.

Law enforcement officials said the gang has recruited inside tax-funded migrant shelters and runs violent theft and robbery crews while peddling drugs, guns and women in the five boroughs.

“What we’re seeing is this evolution of Tren de Aragua, where they’ve gone into these sanctuary cities,” said former Denver ICE chief John Fabbricatore. “They’ve started to solidify themselves and then they throw tentacles out to multiple other locations where they think that they can continue to make money.

“I think people are finally starting to realize how bad the situation has gotten.“

According to law enforcement sources, most of the gang members busted inside the Bronx apartment were sought on multiple warrants after crossing the US border with Mexico — then disappearing.

Tren de Aragua is now in more than a dozen U.S. states and, according to a former ICE special agent, the gang may have ties to the terrorist group Hezbollah.

Former ICE supervisory special agent Victor Avila joined Martha MacCallum on Fox News recently to discuss shocking reports involving members of the Venezuelan gang.

“This is not a gang. This is reminiscent of a cartel. Because of the organization, because of the backing of money and finances … and more troubling is their association with … Hezbollah and Iran. I’ve been trying to put his out for the last several months because this is what my intelligence contacts are telling me,” Avila told MacCallum.
