A legal watchdog group has begun a series of investigations into the ascent of a dangerous Venezuelan gang in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

America First Legal has started an investigation into the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, it said<\/a> in a press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investigations are focused on the growing presence of the dangerous Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang in Aurora, Colorado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, America First Legal (AFL) launched investigations into the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), concerning the growing violent illegal alien gang activity spreading in Aurora, Colorado, Chicago, Illinois, and western Wisconsin,\u201d the group said in the press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn August 29, 2024, viral surveillance footage showed Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) members carrying guns and entering an apartment complex in the City of Aurora, Colorado. It\u2019s been reported they engaged in flagrant trespassing, assault and battery, unlawful firearm possession, and other criminal activity. On September 3, 2024, Venezuelan gangsters were connected with a distress call from Chicago, Illinois, alleging members were armed and taking over a city building. Later that week, on Thursday, September 5, 2024, authorities in western Wisconsin arrested a likely Tren de Aragua member on multiple charges of domestic violence,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese gang members would not be present if the United States had a secure southern border. Accordingly, AFL has requested records from DHS and the FBI concerning the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang presence in Colorado, Illinois, and Wisconsin. AFL also demanded records on the state level between local law enforcement in each state and the federal government to uncover any and all communications that the Biden-Harris administration may have received about this rising threat to public safety,\u201d the press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAFL will continue to fight for the protection of every American and against the recklessness allowed by the Biden-Harris administration\u2019s immigration policies,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Biden-Harris administration\u2019s deliberate decision to open our borders to the world is what allowed for violent Venezuelan gangs to run rampant in American communities. The crimes committed by these aliens are\u2014by definition\u2014preventable, but this administration has decided to ignore public safety and prioritize the importation of hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens. If Border Czar Harris were serious about eliminating the threat of foreign gang behavior in the United States, she would secure the border and deport illegal aliens from the United States. It\u2019s that simple,\u201d America First Legal Executive Director Gene Hamilton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now a group of Republican states, led by Texas, is suing over one of those policies known as \u201cparole in place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Republican states said in the lawsuit that the program creates a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, skirting by Congress, for \u201cpolitical purposes,\u201d Just The News reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis action incentivizes illegal immigration and will irreparably harm the Plaintiff states,\u201d the plaintiffs said in the lawsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program was started on Monday and it allows the illegal immigrant spouses of citizens to stay in the United States and apply for a green card with a pathway to become citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn order to qualify for the program, the spouse must have been in the United States for at least 10 years, have no disqualifying criminal history, and have been married to the U.S. citizen by June 17,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the administration said it would defend the program and accused Republicans of \u201cplaying politics\u201d with the border and not searching for a solution to the crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis lawsuit is seeking to force U.S. citizens and their families, people who have lived in the United States for more than ten years, to continue to live in the shadows,\u201d a spokesperson for the White House said.<\/p>\n
