Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan prison gang known as the Train of Aragua, has been causing havoc in New York City with a series of robberies carried out by its young members. These juvenile illegal immigrants have been targeting people in popular locations like Times Square, yet they have managed to evade incarceration due to New York's lenient laws on juvenile crime.
According to NYPD's Detective Bureau Assistant Chief Jason Savino, the gang members, some as young as 11, are currently being housed in a migrant shelter set up in the former Roosevelt Hotel. The suspects have been flaunting their access to guns on social media, showcasing pistols and even using them in gunpoint robberies.
