Trump’s ongoing illegal immigration raids have nabbed one of the most notorious individuals captured on camera behaving menacingly in the infamous Aurora, Colorado, apartment building takeover.
According to the New York Post, Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco was the Tren de Aragua ring leader in the illegal occupation attempt. The incident drew attention to the gang’s activity, including that of the then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“You look at Springfield, Ohio. You look at Aurora in Colorado. They are taking over the towns. They’re taking over buildings. They’re going in violently,” Trump said. “These are the people that she and Biden let into our country. And they’re destroying our country.”
Trump promised to address the illegal gang problem, with Homan bragging that his gang was bigger than theirs.
Zambrano-Pacheco, 25, was detained in New York City, an illegal immigrant sanctuary, from across an elementary school. He was wanted for kidnapping, burglary, and behaving menacingly.
The Homeland Security Investigations officers, who recently joined the illegal immigration sweeps, apprehended the TDA ring leader from the Ogden Avenue apartment building in The Bronx, across the Highbridge School.
Neighbors were unaware that a notorious TDA gangbanger was living across the street until DHS officers swooped in the early hours and detained the Venezuelan immigrant.
The newly confirmed DHS secretary Kristi Noem, hit the ground running in pursuit of what she called “dirtbags” in the sanctuary Big Apple.
“Dirtbags like this will continue to be removed from our streets,” Sec. Noem said after joining the raids.
The TDA gangbanger was among over 20 illegal immigrants detained in the Big Apple. Other members of the TDA gang have also been arrested in the ongoing Trump raids. The TDA gang, which has about 5,000 members in Venezuela and the United States, began taking over apartments with the Whispering Pines Apartments in 2023.
The gang applies various terror tactics to control apartment buildings, including assault, threats of murder, and extortion. It uses occupied apartments to conduct various crimes, such as child prostitution, human trafficking, extortion, and storing illegal firearms. Ironically, the gang targets other Venezuelan immigrants and those from other countries.
Homan has repeatedly warned that immigrants were being trafficked into the country, exploited, extorted, and their families held hostage until they could clear their debts with human traffickers.
“People were not with me when I was in Phoenix, Arizona, seeing these people being held hostage and their smuggling rates being doubled; the families couldn’t pay them so women were raped, children were molested, or the smuggled alien was killed at the hands of these organizations,” Homan said.
Meanwhile, Leftists continue to lament the removal of illegal immigrants, despite the Trump administration stating clearly that it was focusing on national security threats. Celebrity singer Selena Gomez recently posted a now-deleted Instagram video sobbing over the removal of illegal immigrants from the country.
Nonetheless, Fox News reports that border encounters dropped by 35% in Trump’s first three days compared to Biden’s last three days.
