Texas Governor Greg Abbott told Breitbart News he is making all available tools available to law enforcement to take action against the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang.
The governor said the gang members will find their operations in Texas will become unprofitable, forcing them to leave the Lone Star State.
It’s a losing money proposition in the state of Texas, and they’re going to realize they got to take their business elsewhere.” Governor Abbott recently designated the Venezuelan prison gang as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, unleashing additional law enforcement tools to be employed against TdA gang members.
And what they’re going to find is, if they’re coming in the state of Texas, they’re losing money.
“If you look at the historical analysis written about them (TdA), they’re in a business operation,” Governor Abbott told Breitbart Texas in an exclusive interview on Friday.
Abbott told Breitbart the designation allows the State to seize properties acquired by the TdA gang for use as human smuggling stash houses and other operational venues.
From FY21-FY24 year-to-date, Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 499,000 Venezuelan migrants who illegally entered the United States in the five Texas-based Border Patrol Sectors, Texas DPS officials reported.
