Court documents seen by Newsweek show that over the past two years, police have received 693 calls to investigate criminal activity within the hotel.
The owner of a Texas hotel faces legal action due to alleged violent criminal activity involving suspected members of the Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua, which has been under the spotlight in the run-up to the 2024 election.The conditions inside the El Paso premises are described in court documents as deplorable. Video evidence presented in court shows individuals apparently partying in hotel hallways, using weapons, and engaging in violence in front of children.
Despite the owner's initial certificate of occupancy issued in May 2018, it appears to have expired in November of the same year, and no new certificate has been issued since.According to court documents, the hotel 'has habitual criminal activity.' Several people in the hotel had tattoos associated with the Venezuelan Tren De Aragua crime syndicate, according to a police report. Drug use, thefts, burglaries, and fights were among the calls made to police regarding the hotel.
