The arrests in the framework of Operation Aurora, according to the media News4occurred during a raid on the Palatia apartment complex, located in San Antonio, south Texas. Of the 20 arrested, 19 will face various charges.
The San Antonio Police Department suspects that the empty apartments are used by members of the Aragua Train to direct their actions. The Texas Department of Public Safety, the FBI, the Homeland Security Investigations Division and members of the Texas Anti-Gang Unit also participate in the operation.
San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said known and suspected gang activity will be “investigated and dismantled when it is found to be operating within the San Antonio community. “The safety of our residents and first responders is our top priority.”
The Tren de Aragua, a mega-gang commanded by Héctor “el Niño” Guerrero, is linked to crimes associated with prostitution, cocaine sales and other violent crimes in the state of Texas. It is presumed that the members of this gang entered the United States through irregular routes, mixed with migrants.
Last July the Treasury Department classified it as a “transnational criminal organization” and the State Department assured that its network has “extended” from South America to the United States.
