The gang problem in Illinois has taken a turn for the worse, with the emergence of a notorious gang that has wreaked havoc in Venezuela. Concrete evidence suggests that this gang is now actively operating on the streets of Illinois.
I recently came across a report on Yahoo News that shed light on a previously unfamiliar gang known as Tren de Aragua. Despite having no prior knowledge about them, I discovered that this mega-gang has expanded its operations to the United States, specifically in Illinois.
On March 24, 2024, the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement released a chilling bulletin regarding the arrest of Adelvis Rodriguez-Carmona. Adelvis Rodriguez-Carmona, a citizen of Venezuela, was found to be unlawfully present in the United States and identified as a member of the Tren de Aragua transnational criminal organization.
According to NBC Chicago, it is not just Adelvis Rodriguez-Carmona who has made a home in the Windy City as a member of Tren de Aragua. They have been residing in Chicago for quite some time as well. Cook County law enforcement has been able to track the presence of this Venezuelan gang since at least October of last year.
This gang is notorious for its lack of fear towards the police, and they have a reputation for actively confronting law enforcement instead of conducting their illegal activities discreetly like other gangs.
According to Newsnation, there have been recent reports of several individuals being apprehended while attempting to enter the United States illegally. As a result, the presence of this particular group in America appears to be on the rise. It has been observed that these individuals are targeting cities like Chicago, where they are attempting to establish themselves, or may have already done so.
There is a new danger lurking on the streets of Illinois that everyone should be informed about.
