From the New York Post: Texas law enforcement raided a vacant San Antonio apartment complex that had fallen under the “control” of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang, which was using the building as a base for crime, officials said.
A multi-agency task force cleared more than 300 vacant units at the Palatia Apartments on the North Side of the city on Saturday morning, San Antonio Police Chief Chief McManus told reporters at a press conference.
SAPD had received several complaints from the apartment complex regarding narcotics, human trafficking and threats to apartment personnel, according to police.
“We had information that members of the transnational gang Tren de Agua were in control of the area and committing various crimes,” McManus said.
Twenty people were arrested, four who are confirmed Tren de Agua members — including one person who is an “enforcer,” he said.
Among those arrested were some individuals who already had confirmed warrants, and some who had “removal orders,” McManus announced.
The police chief had a message for the gang members: “We are onto you. We are coming for you and we know where you are.”

Below is a local media report on the raid:
In March, a large mob of illegal aliens literally stormed the border at El Paso, Texas, overrunning Border Patrol agents and breaking down a border fence.
Out of that group, the New York Post noted that over 100 were suspected members of the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang.
