BREAKING: The U.S. Justice Department is going after violent foreign gangsters instead of conservative American grandmas 🤯
They're even going to RICO them.
On Monday, DOJ officials unsealed indictments against 27 current or former members of the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang. Officials report that 21 of the 27 indicted gang members are currently in federal custody.
'As alleged, Tren de Aragua is not just a street gang - it is a highly structured terrorist organization that has destroyed American families with brutal violence, engaged in human trafficking, and spread deadly drugs through our communities,' U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a written statement. 'Today's indictments and arrests span three states and will devastate TdA's infrastructure as we work to completely dismantle and purge this organization from our country.'
This is all happening in the traditional home of the mob, New York City, where TDA has set up a hub for its criminal enterprises.
The crimes include murder, shootings, sex trafficking, drug dealing, robbing, extorting, and other crimes.
The RICO charge allows the feds to treat the gang as a high-level racketeering organization. Instead of merely pursuing individuals (often low-level lackeys), it can target and dismantle the gang itself by freezing leaders' assets and charging anyone connected to the gang's activities.
New York City Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch added, 'For the first time ever, TdA is being named and charged as the criminal enterprise that it is. This isn't just street crime — it's organized racketeering, and this gang has shown zero regard for the safety of New Yorkers. As alleged in the indictment, these defendants wreaked havoc in our communities, trafficking women for sexual exploitation, flooding our streets with drugs, and committing violent crimes with illegal guns.'
The Justice Department has released the indictment - you can read it here.
I'm still in shock that federal law enforcement is actually going after bad guys!
