One of the illegal immigrants who allegedly killed a Mexican border official who was asked to show his ID was affiliated with the Venezuelan prison gang Torren de Aragua, and the immigration officer was brutally beaten with a rock. It became clear.
The federal agent, identified as Luis Alberto Olivas García, was ambushed by a group of three migrants at a checkpoint in the northern state of Chihuahua on December 30, according to Mexico's National Immigration Institute.
The trio, two Venezuelans and a Colombian, are suspected of crossing the border from El Paso, Texas, grabbing Olivas Garcia and then pushing him down a hill, a Mexican court heard Monday. According to the border report.
One of the Venezuelan migrants then grabbed a rock and hit the federal officer in the head until he died, the newspaper reported.
Mexican law enforcement officials also said one of the suspected migrant killers had tattoos associated with the Toren de Aragua gang, a violent gang that has expanded across the besieged southern border into at least 19 U.S. states. revealed that.
“One of them has tattoos that we have identified as possibly related to Torren de Aragua,” Gilberto Loya, head of the Chihuahuan state public safety department, said in an interview with Border Report.
“We are sharing this information with other agencies and await confirmation at the next bilateral meeting. [American] database,” Loya added.
According to a Texas law enforcement memo recently leaked to the Post, the disturbing attack comes as the Torren de Aragua gang has gone wild near the border in El Paso and is threatening to attack troops patrolling the U.S. side. It happened inside.
In the latest attack, 20 Venezuelan gangsters attempted to violently cross the border with knives, tire irons and broken liquor bottles.
Pressure at the border is mounting ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration and an impending immigration crackdown.
Prison gang members sparked a crime wave across the United States after sneaking across the U.S.-Mexico border into Texas, mostly posing as asylum seekers.
Some of the gangs have been linked to high-profile immigration crimes, including the murders of Laken Riley, a nursing student from Georgia, and Jocelyn Nangaray, a 12-year-old from Houston.
