San Antonio police, with federal and state agencies, arrested 19 people, including four Tren de Aragua gang members, in a major operation.
Police on Saturday arrested 19 people, including four members of the Tren de Aragua criminal gang, as part of an operation to clear out a vacant North Side apartment complex believed to be under the gang’s control. The sweep came a day after the firefighters’ union publicly accused the city of not doing enough to protect San Antonio Fire Department personnel from possible gang violence — specifically pointing to rumors about Tren de Aragua operating in the area.

The SAPD denied taking the matter lightly. “Suspected and known gang activity in the San Antonio area is being addressed by SAPD,” police officials said in a statement Friday.
