While most of were celebrating New Year's Eve, Texas DPS Troopers were arresting 4 members of the violent Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua at Eagle Pass.
"It's a serious problem of consequence, of the government not doing it's job in vetting these individuals coming in" said Wesley Tabor, a former DEA agent and official, who worked in Venezuela.
The word is out for anybody that wants to come to the U.S., they'd better hurry before Donald Trump returns to the White House.
But even with all of the great work at the border by the Texas DPS, Border Patrol, and the leading of Governor Abbott and Operation Lone Star, the TDA gang is still a big problem here in Texas.
"My sources, what I know, you're looking at multiple hundreds of these Tren de Aragua gang members that are in these cities, and that's just in Houston" Tabor told KTRH, "You might have 200 or 300 in Houston, you might have another couple of hundred or more in El Paso because they're still coming through these borders. The borders are not sealed yet, we're not stopping the flow through the border right now."
Something that we know all to well here in Houston, after the tragic murder of Jocelyn Nungaray.
"It's going to take still years to overcome the surge that we're seeing" noted Tabor, "But we're never going to get rid of it. It's here to stay now.
Hopefully, that will all start to change with Trump back in office.
