The Tren de Aragua gang has clearly made themselves quite at home on the American political radar. Despite being recognized as a group notorious for their thuggish behavior, they have also become experts in tracking political shifts across the border. As the clock ticks down to the inauguration of Donald Trump—less than 20 days away—this gang is scrambling to flood the southern border, eager to find a cozy spot in the U.S. before the tough-on-immigration policies kick in.
Reports from the New York Post, which unfortunately cannot be said to be known for entertaining fantasy, reveal that El Paso, Texas, has morphed into a chaotic scene. Border agents are faced with insatiable mobs of gang members wielding an assortment of weapons—everything from knives to tire irons—making breakneck efforts to breach the border. It appears that these gangsters understand one thing all too well: the political climate is about to turn and it’s not in their favor.
A leaked memo from the Texas Department of Public Safety painted a grim picture, revealing that armed members of Tren de Aragua attempted a full-frontal assault at a border gate. The memo also hinted at more such attempts, most likely timed for New Year’s celebrations. The former Homeland Security agent, Victor Avila, remarked on the obvious motivations behind this surge—an awareness that a new regime is ready to wipe out the open-border lunacy and restore some order, leading them to act swiftly before their window of opportunity closes.
As if the existing chaos wasn’t enough, an anonymous whistleblower claimed that these nightly border raids are just the beginning. With intentions to sow discord among Texas National Guard soldiers stationed to protect the border, these gang members seem willing to take drastic measures—especially when the border agents aren’t around. No wonder gunfire has intensified in the El Paso sector, as this gang is seemingly playing a high-stakes game of cat and mouse.

What’s particularly mind-boggling is how this gang seems to pop up everywhere—quite the frequent flyer of the crime world. As of November, reports indicated their presence in 16 states, expanding to Montana, Virginia, and Wyoming, among others. The gang appears especially prominent in Colorado, where local media pored over every detail in a desperate attempt to downplay their control over specific areas. Attempts to downplay reality with clever spin do nothing to cover up the chaos that ordinary citizens face daily.
As the Trump administration gears up for action, this first big challenge will undoubtedly involve fortifying the border and dealing with the likes of Tren de Aragua. The imminent shifts in policy serve as a clarion call to those seeking entry into the U.S. before the doors slam shut, indicating just how much the country’s leadership matters. With one president actively dismantling border security while another pledges to reverse that damage, it’s clear that the election just may have been the most consequential one yet—especially for those who believe in lawful borders and patriotic governance.
