The Issue: The rise of Venezuelan migrant gang Tren de Aragua in migrant centers across New York.
As if New York isn’t already plagued by rampant crime, the Venezuelan migrant gang Tren de Aragua has now extended its violent reach throughout the city (“ Big Apple is a Tren wreck, ” Sept. 23).
Their criminality has even affected the safety of schools near Roosevelt Avenue, where a sordid brothel has been operating. The criminal degradation resulting from the influx of illegal immigration worsens by the day, threatening the safety of neighborhoods and residents alike.
When illicit activities occur so close to schools, it is clear that we are approaching societal collapse.

The Tren de Aragua gang, which emigrated from Venezuela, represents the worst of the worst.
Now, an undetermined number of its members are in New York, committing crimes without fear of the police — two of whom were shot by gang members. Deportation, one by one, should be the city’s policy.
