SAN ANTONIO - In a predawn sweep at the Palatia Apartments on the North Side, 20 individuals were detained. Some are believed to be members of the notorious Venezuelan prison gang Tren De Aragua .
The initiative stemmed from intelligence gathered by undercover officers within the Migrant Resource Center, according to SAPD. The raid Saturday morning is part of a broader effort to disrupt Tren de Aragua’s influence in Texas. The prison gang was founded in Venezuela's state of Aragua. Since then, law enforcement believes the gang has made its way to the United States mixed in with undocumented migrants. It is thought that Tren de Aragua in San Antonio is involved in prostitution, selling of cocaine, and other violent crimes.
Chief William McManus sent us this statement, "Known and suspected gang activity will be investigated and dismantled when found to be operating within the San Antonio community. The safety of our residents and first responders is our top priority." In a press conference on Saturday afternoon, McManus said, "We are on to you, and we are coming for you. We know who you are, and we are coming for you."
