Horrifying footage showed the illegal aliens patrolling one apartment complex with a rifle. Video captured on a doorbell camera shows the men attempting to get into an apartment.
Shortly after, reports broke that Tren de Aragua took over apartment complexes in Austin, Texas, as Townhall covered.
Last month, Townhall covered how the gang has expanded its territory to at least 16 states. This encompasses an area that includes half of America’s population.
In certain areas, such as the greater Washington, D.C., area, the growing number of illegal immigrants aligned with the growing presence of Tren de Aragua.
