Chicago’s Rising Tren De Aragua Threat: Alarming FOIA Revelations on Gang Arrests

Tren de Aragua gang presence in Chicago
FOIA reveals arrests of suspected Tren de Aragua gang members in Chicago.

Patriots, prepare to be informed! The Tren de Aragua, a notorious Venezuelan gang, has made its presence known in the heart of Chicago, and the facts are alarming.

Back in February 2024, our allies were at the forefront, reporting on the emergence of this gang in Chicago’s suburbs. The city saw Mayor Brandon Johnson instruct law enforcement to intercept buses transporting illegals from the Texas border. But now, the situation has escalated.

Fake social security card
Evidence of fake documentation, a common issue tied to illegal immigration.

A recent FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) response unveiled 184 pages documenting arrests of suspected Tren de Aragua members from February 2023 to February 2025. These arrests reveal a disturbing array of crimes:

  • Driving without a license or registration
  • Assault and battery
  • Possession of fake social security cards
  • Drug possession (crack cocaine and cannabis)
  • Assault with a knife
  • Retail theft
  • Armed robbery with a machine gun

Interestingly, many cases involve traffic stops linked to fake vehicle registrations and invalid licenses. Patriots, we must question how these individuals acquire vehicles without stealing them. Documentation counterfeiting plays a significant role here.

Another fake social security card
Fake social security cards used by illegal aliens.

“…during an April 2008 raid at Pilgrim’s Pride meat packing plants, more than 280 employees at facilities in five states were arrested on suspicion of committing identity theft and other criminal violations in order to obtain jobs.”

The illegal hiring of non-citizens by employers seeking cheap labor threatens American jobs, as documented by the Center for Immigration Studies.

Illinois has been on a legislative spree, seemingly aimed at protecting illegals from accountability. Recent laws have:

  • Amended the Illinois Human Rights Act to prevent discrimination in real estate based on immigration status.
  • Allowed illegals to obtain indistinguishable IDs and driver’s licenses (HB3882).
  • Reduced residency requirements for name changes for illegals (Public Act 103-1063).
  • Altered the E-Verify process, favoring workers over employers (SB0508).
Machine gun used in robbery

Adding to the chaos, the Safe-T Act removed cash bail, protecting criminals from accountability. Coupled with the assault weapons ban, Illinois is staring into the abyss of socialist anarchy. FOIA documents reveal a Tren de Aragua member wielded a “machine gun” in a robbery despite the ban.

Weapon used by gang member
The threat of gang violence looms over Illinois as legislation falters.

In a stunning clip, Terry Newsome highlights Mayor Brandon Johnson’s contradictory statements before Congress. Despite claiming compliance with federal law, the sale of marijuana remains federally illegal. Newsome references a criminal referral by Representative Anna Paulina Luna.

In Illinois, Democrat leadership has prioritized illegal aliens over hardworking citizens, compounding criminal activity and undermining Second Amendment rights. The evidence is clear: Illinois and Chicago have welcomed a criminal gang with open arms and shielded them from federal scrutiny.

Gang violence in Chicago
Rising gang violence in Chicago challenges the safety and security of its citizens.

Fellow patriots, the time for change is upon us. The tipping point for Illinoisans beckons, and action is needed to reclaim the safety and prosperity of our communities.
