Concerns are growing in Chicago as an influx of Venezuelan migrants, including members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang, have drawn the attention of local gangs. Some fear an impending turf war as Venezuelan gangsters encroach on territory traditionally controlled by Chicago's existing criminal organizations.
Venezuelan migrants moving into Chicago’s South Side have caught the attention of the city’s gangs, with some fearing an impending turf war between local gangs and their Venezuelan counterparts. 'When the black gangs here get fed up with the illegalities and criminal activities of these migrants or non-citizens, the city of Chicago is going to go up in flames and there will be nothing the National Guard or the government can do about it when the bloodshed hits the streets.
With the arrival has come a rise in crime, locals told the New York Post, while some Venezuelan gangsters have started to encroach on the territory of the city’s local gangs. 'There’s been a lot going on with that nobody’s even hearing about,' Zacc Massie, a local Chicago gang member, told the New York Post. 'They be moving in our own territory and robbing people but they don’t get arrested like we do. I actually talked to one on the translator app.
It’s still violent down here but it’s calmed down a lot,' one gang member told the outlet. 'Back in the day we’d get shot if we went over there. It’s calmed down a lot. The last thing we need are the Venezuelans.' The Chicago Police Department did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
