The “evil, bloodthirsty, epitome of evil,” Tren de Aragua (TdA) runs drug smuggling, child prostitution, and human trafficking rings in South America, with its members crossing over into the US in the past three years amid a wave of unvetted Venezuelan migrants.
Law enforcement sources confirmed that TdA had been operating at the Palatia Apartments for five to six months. They squat in empty units they either rented out to other migrants, used as a base to deal cocaine, or, most horrifically, as prostitution dens to pimp out women and children.

Many traffickers are members of Mexican or Salvadorian gangs, part of Cuban rings or the vicious Venezuelan group Tren de Aragua. Their modus operandi is luring migrant women and girls across the southern border, promising them good jobs once they get to America, and then forcing them into prostitution once they’re here, ostensibly to pay off the debt they incurred to get into the U.S.
“The sex trafficking of minors, and human trafficking as a whole, is one of the fastest-growing criminal enterprises in the U.S.,” said Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Mark Dawson after a big bust in Houston last year that saw the arrest of 10 traffickers, all of whom had gang connections.
This includes the sex trafficking of men and boys:
Sex trafficking victims often suffer horrific abuse, as I discovered when I spoke to Landon Dickeson, the 36-year-old executive director for Bob’s House of Hope in Denton, Texas, the only shelter for male sex trafficking victims ages 18 and up in the country. Dickeson says they’ve seen teens from Central and South America who have been so tortured by their traffickers they can barely function.
Dickeson described caring for teens who have brain damage from being so heavily drugged—teens who have had their fingernails pulled out and lemon juice poured on wounds. When I asked to interview one of their migrant residents, Dickeson said they simply weren’t in any condition to speak to anyone, much less a reporter.
The report attributes it to the open borders and the unvetted millions pouring through. The government allows anyone to take these children across and then sponsor them. All controls, such as DNA, are abandoned.
The DailyMail.com revealed that this apartment invasion is just the tip of the iceberg in the major southern Texas city, with at least three other rental properties also occupied by the criminal organization.

There are millions of apartment buildings. whats a couple..thousand. No big thang. Until it hits her door step then 911 comes into play. If i was a cop you on your own bish.
The San Antonio police force sounds like the Uvalde police.
They all be on the waltz trail. God i,m surprised his kids has not off hisself. Not that i wish it but geez. POPS prancing like Richard Simmons. ENOUGH
So what is Gov. Abbott doing about this? Or is he waiting for DHS/ICE/FBI to intervene?
About what. Courts hold great powers when manipulated right.
If there was not an appetite and market for depravity in this country they’d be out of business This rebellion against God is not going to end well for those who are dead in their sins and oppose the Lord.
Preach it preacher. Their hate begets their ugliness. Just look at Martha. Poster dog for it all. Just a few apartment places. What about the ppl who pay to live there? Pay for it. but its such a small group. bang bang my baby….
I don’t understand how this is allowed to happen. Where are the mayors, police chiefs and governors? The first time one of these gangs moves in, the Police SWAT team should be deployed and they should be immediately removed, dead or alive. Preferably dead.
None of them want to be called racist.
Badge worn proudly. Not because i,m racist. Sure sticks in their side tho don,t it.
