From the New York Post: The violent Venezuelan migrant gang Tren de Aragua has taken over a hotel in the Texas border city of El Paso — turning into a hub of fighting, drinking and hard-partying behavior, authorities say.
The cops have been called nearly 700 times to the Gateway hotel.
Surveillance footage shows one man wielding a hatchet, others were spotted with knives and at least one man was seen firing a gun inside, the El Paso County Attorney said.
According to images from the court documents, men are seen crowding into the hallways of the Gateway hotel, “some armed with knives, engaging in fights and one seen bleeding from multiple stab wounds, many of these instances happening while children are around.”
The report explains that local officials are working to shut down the hotel and take back control. According to KVIA-TV, a judge granted a temporary order on Monday that will force all residents of the hotel to leave by Thursday — and prevent owner Howard Yun from letting people stay there.
Another motel in El Paso, a Motel 6, has also reportedly been occupied by illegal alien gang members.
CBS4 reporter Vania Castillo shared a video and explained, “The Gateway Hotel is being forced to close its doors after the owner received a temporary injunction and restraining order from the El Paso County Attorney for alleged criminal activity. I went inside the hotel to take a look for myself.”
