The New York State National Guard has been instructed to screen migrants arriving in New York City for tattoos associated with the Venezuelan 'Tren de Aragua' gang, amid concerns over the gang's growing presence in the United States. This directive comes as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials announced the arrest of two migrant gang members on Tuesday, suspected of assaulting New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers. Homeland Security confirmed that these individuals, detained without bond, are connected to the Venezuelan gang and have been charged in conjunction with the violent gang assault. The gang, described as a 'super-gang,' is reportedly recruiting illegal migrants to expand its operations nationwide.
