Confirmed: Violent Venezuelan Gang Tren De Aragua is in Montana

When the violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) was taking over entire apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado, we knew it was only a matter of time before the gang's presence in Montana would be confirmed.

The Department of Homeland Security is now confirming that Montana is one of several states, as The New York Post reports.

Homeland Security officials last week were warned in an internal department intelligence memo about TdA’s growing presence across the country, most recently in Washington, DC, Virginia, Montana and Wyoming.

A report by Jamel Valencia for The National News Desk also points out that the illegal alien suspected of murdering Georgia college student Laiken Riley is also connected to Tren de Aragua.

With the wide open southern border, the Mexican drug cartels have already shown a very active presence in the state of Montana. They've particularly been targeting Indian Reservations with meth and fentanyl, and tribal leaders have also raised concerns about cartel operatives preying on Native American women.

It's no surprise that TdA's presence in Montana is now also confirmed by Homeland Security. Denver, Colorado is a short 7-8 hour drive from Montana's largest city of Billings. The State of Colorado's Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) has downplayed the significance of TdA's operations in his state while the problem festers.

As a side note- I've done events at restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops and other locations all across the state over the past several months. I got to talking with a couple food delivery drivers that work for services like Uber Eats at a couple events, and with my basic and broken Spanish I asked them where they were from and they told me Venezuela.
