‘Times’ Up’ For Tren de Aragua Members, Major Arrest in NYC
Two members of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua have been arrested in New York City in a major drug and credit card scam bust, according to the New York Post. An “arsenal of deadly assault rifles” was also found in the bust.
Denyeer Aramillo Meneses, 23, and Edison Pena Angulo, 25, were arrested in the bust during an early morning raid in the Bronx. The two were allegedly part of the apartment complex takeover in Aurora, Colorado which drew national attention as their antics were caught on camera inside the building. Warrants for their arrest were issued on October 1 by local police after the incident. Somehow, they made their way to New York City and were caught on Wednesday, November 27.
There were 15 suspected members of Tren de Aragua in total involved in the bust.
“The group was selling a variety of drugs — including heroin, fake weed and the synthetic drug Tussi — and also dabbled in credit card fraud and violence, sources said.
Cops also found a cache of semi-automatic weapons during the raid, including three assault rifles, two pistols and ammo cans packed with cartridges, sources said.”
It’s not clear yet what charges the suspects will face because their federal indictment and the offenses “remain sealed.”
One law enforcement officer told The Post, “Enough already with these guys,” adding, “[TDA’s] time is up.”
New York City has seen its share of Tren de Aragua’s activity, with some suspects being as young as teenagers caught in robberies on the streets. The illegal migrants have grown concerns for residents of the city and other states across the country where active members have been found.
The Venezuelan gang grew its presence in the United States while the Biden administration left the border wide open, making the criminals’ entry into the country possible.
In a unanimous decision, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the federal government’s authority to deport foreign nationals in the U.S. illegally. The decision came after objections from local jurisdictions, and therefore reaffirms federal immigration enforcement capabilities, and deals a blow to sanctuary policies aimed at obstructing deportations.
The case centered on a 2019 executive order issued by King County Executive Dow Constantine, which barred the use of King County International Airport, near Seattle, for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation charter flights. The airport is adjacent to a major ICE operational base in Seattle, writes The Center Square.
Constantine’s order sought to prevent airport services from supporting ICE deportation flights, citing concerns about family separations, racial disparities in enforcement, and other human rights issues. The federal government, under the Trump administration, sued, arguing that the order violated the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, the intergovernmental immunity doctrine, and a WWII-era Instrument of Transfer agreement allowing federal use of the airport.
A district court ruled in favor of the federal government, and King County appealed. Writing for the Ninth Circuit, Judge Daniel Bress, joined by Judges Michael Hawkins and Richard Clinton, affirmed the lower court’s decision.
The panel ruled that Constantine’s order improperly targeted the federal government and its contractors, violating the intergovernmental immunity doctrine by “singling out the federal government and its contractors for unfavorable treatment.” The court further found that the order increased ICE’s operational costs and created imminent risks of further injury, thereby giving the federal government standing to sue.
Additionally, the judges upheld the claim that the order violated the Instrument of Transfer under the Surplus Property Act of 1944, which explicitly allows federal use of the airport.
Constantine defended the order as consistent with King County’s commitment to inclusivity and human rights. He argued that deportations conflict with the region’s values, including protecting families and promoting equity. However, the Ninth Circuit held that such ideological arguments could not override federal law and constitutional principles.

Biden and Maorcas should be arrested and charged with aiding and abetting criminals, rapists and murderers. Put them in jail.

Yeah that’s some of those ones that the border patrol was told to make a record of and turn them loose in the United States. Thanks to the Democrats and their Obama open border mentality who is pulling the strings by the way for Obama and was pulling them for come on until she found out she didn’t win.

These are just some of the threats to Americans and Homeland Security President Trump and Tom Homan are referencing! Thanks to The Biden/Harris Administration this country is on “RED ALERT”, if one American is hurt or killed, it’s one too many. I wished you could hold lawyers accountable for defending and freeing a killer who goes and commits murder again? They hold a bartender accountable if he/she serves that person in question too many drinks.Even after The drunk has said numerous times that they are walking home! “Rules are for ‘THE’, but not for ‘me'” mentality!

Quote from article —
“as their antics were caught on camera”
Antics – the gentleman assaulted thought they were trying kill him and ‘humorous pranks – AKA antics – DO NOT generally include the carrying of weapons and kicking in doors.

Leave them alone. Blow up the tunnels, collapse the bridges and put a giant fence around NYC. what are the sayings? You made your bed now sleep in it, reap what you sow, elections have consequences now live with it. You wanted sanctuary now you have it, one giant bird in a cage.

I don’t know why we have to seal their court records or treat these criminal illegals like we would lawful citizens. They have no rights in this country and especially not the right to commit crimes. Shoot them, poison them, electrocute them all should be allowable when dealing with these animals no matter what age. They chose this lifestyle.
