Texas Governor Greg Abbott .. is making all available tools available to law enforcement to take action against the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang. The governor said the gang members will find their operations in Texas will become unprofitable, forcing them to leave

...

They’re looking to make money. And what they’re going to find is, if they’re coming in the state of Texas, they’re losing money. It’s a losing money proposition in the state of Texas, and they’re going to realize they got to take their business elsewhere.”

Governor Abbott recently designated the Venezuelan prison gang as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, unleashing additional law enforcement tools to be employed against TdA gang members.

...

their standard method of operation is that they will find a house or some other type of building or location that they will use as a stash house for purposes of trafficking people

...

The governor added that the designation also increases jail penalties “so that when we do arrest them, they’re going to be behind bars a very long time.”

...

Abbott mentioned the arrest of two more TdA gang members in the San Antonio area last week.

In August, a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper arrested a confirmed Tren de Aragua, who was released by the Biden-Harris administration. The TdA gang member is charged with smuggling of persons. The Venezuelan gang member was wearing an ICE tracking device at the time of his arrest. This was his second arrest on human smuggling charges

...

Tren de Aragua operates in El Paso, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, and the Rio Grande Valley border region.
