In response to the growing influence of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced a series of initiatives aimed at combating gang violence in the state. A new database has been developed to monitor threats associated with Venezuelan gangs, which have been linked to a substantial rise in crime, particularly in El Paso. Over 100 suspected gang members were identified among migrants rushing to the border. As part of the crackdown, Tren de Aragua has been designated as a terrorist organization and a top security threat. Officials are working to close hotels like the Gateway Hotel that are reportedly serving as havens for gang activity. This aggressive stance comes as the state grapples with the implications of gang expansion into Texas and beyond.
