Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlain claimed that Venezuelan migrant gang activity in some apartment buildings in the city is 'not an immigration issue' during a presser on Friday.

Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday said the state is launching a crackdown on Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang that has drawn national attention and that the Texas Republican likened to “MS-13 on steroids.” Abbott declared the gang a foreign terrorist organization and directed the state’s Department of Public Safety to ramp up efforts to halt its operations in Texas.
