( NewsNation ) — The presence of Tren de Aragua gang members in San Antonio has raised alarms, especially among first responders who may be at risk while on the job.
San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association President Joe Jones sent a memo warning first responders to “keep your heads on a swivel and watch your six” for gang members, meaning to stay alert and watch their backs.
Several gang members were arrested Saturday in San Antonio during a multiagency raid on an apartment complex. People involved with the Venezuelan gang have been illegally entering the United States and have been arrested for committing crimes in various parts of the country.
