The NYPD is trying to tackle a rise in violent crime among Venezuelan gang members who have recently arrived in New York City.Authorities say suspected members of the gang Tren de Aragua have been making their way across the southern border and into the United States for the last two years. NYPD Assistant Chief of Detectives Jason Savino spoke with FOX 5 NY's Linda Schmidt, showing a recruitment video made by gang members.
Bernardo Raul Castro-Mata, the Venezuelan migrant accused of shooting two NYPD officers during a traffic stop, reportedly confessed to police that gang members instructed to shoot police officers. In court, Queens Assistant District Attorney Lauren Reilly said that Mata had told investigators that members of Tren de Aragua were smuggling firearms into city shelters inside food packages that do not have to go through metal detectors.
