Illegal aliens from Venezuela have seized control of several apartment complexes in the historic Texas town of San Antonio, similar to how complexes in Aurora, Colorado, have been overtaken.
The Daily Mail reports at least four apartments have been overrun by members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA), whose members crossed into the US via the Biden-Harris administration’s open borders.
After 150 police officers raided the Palatia Apartment complex in San Antonio last week, arresting 19 people of which 4 were gang members, the Mail reports three additional complexes have come under siege by the same criminal gang.
Via The Mail:
DailyMail.com is not naming the three other apartment complexes to avoid jeopardizing ongoing police investigations.
However, the locations were confirmed by law enforcement sources, and we spent days visiting the sites where we spoke to terrified residents.
The Mail did, however, provide a map showing the approximate locations of the three apartments in question.
“In South Texas, TdA set up shop in an area of just north of San Antonio’s Migrant Resource Center, a shelter run by Catholic Charities that has welcomed over 120,000 migrants since the organization starting tracking numbers in 2023,” the Mail reports.
Following the raid on the Palatia complex, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus declared the department would soon be closing in on the other apartments overrun by TdA, saying, “We know who you are, and we’re coming for you… This is just the first place that we’re hitting. We’ve got other places that we’re going to hit.”
The apartment takeovers come as ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz faced backlash after telling Donald Trump’s running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) he was exaggerating about the threat because “The incidents were limited to a handful of…apartment complexes.”
Martha Raddatz fact checks JD Vance: It was only a handful of apartment complexes that were taken over by Venezuelan gangs.

“Martha, do you hear yourself?” Vance shot back. “Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris’s open border?”
The alarming development unfolding in Texas caught the attention of tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who recently relocated several of his businesses to the Lone Star State. Musk shared news of the San Antonio takeover, saying, “Imagine 4 more years of this getting worse.”

In September, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) designated TdA a “terrorist organization,” saying the gang has been active in Texas since 2021 with stats showing documented activity in Houston, Dallas, El Paso and a few border cities.
While the MSM tries to hide the inconvenient fact that Biden’s “border czar” screwed up her job so badly that now illegals are taking over US apartments at gunpoint, the American people are beginning to see through their lies and disinformation.
