Four Venezuelan illegal immigrants arrested in Aurora, Colorado in July on attempted murder charges are members of the violent extortion ring Tren de Aragua. Police arrested one of the four on suspicion of brutally assaulting a man. The perpetrator has been released on bail.
Members of organized crime gangs have been released after entering the country illegally, roaming the country freely and committing crimes, thanks to President Joe Biden.
The news is not surprising: Many of Biden's “migrants” are dangerous criminals whom the president and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have ordered released at the border.
As was pointed out during Mayorkas' impeachment, these releases are illegal.
Shooting arrest
Fox reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that the Venezuelan was in the country illegally.
The network said the thugs, who are between the ages of 19 and 24, illegally crossed the Southwest border in Texas in 2022 and 2023.
The four people currently in ICE custody were “arrested following a shooting near the Nome Street Apartments, one of the Aurora apartment complexes occupied by armed members of the Tren de Aragua group,” Fox reported.
The four, Jonati DeJesus Pacheco Chirinos, Jonardy Jose Pacheco Chirinos, Nixon Jose Azuaje Perez and Dixon Jose Azuaje Perez, were arrested on July 28 on suspicion of attempted murder.
According to Aurora police, “(Jonardy DeJesus Pacheco Chirinos) has been confirmed to be a registered member of Tren de Aragua (TdA). He is the brother of Jonardy Jose Pacheco Chirinos, also known as 'Cookie' or 'Galeta.'”
Two others arrested, Dixon Azuaje-Perez, 20, and Nixon Azuaje-Perez, 19, are charged with tampering with evidence in connection with the shooting and are also gang members, police said.
It's bad enough that four of a gang of 5,000 people are in the country, but what's worse is that the Border Patrol is detaining them, Fox continued.
According to ICE, 24-year-old Jonady Jose Pacheco Chirinos, known as “Cookie,” was encountered by Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio Sector, Texas, in October 2022. Pacheco has since been released and served a summons to cite. Pacheco is currently charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon, among other offenses.
Cookie's brother, Jonati DeJesus Pacheco Chirinos, was arrested on charges including attempted murder. He was also arrested in October 2022 in the Del Rio Sector, Texas.
According to Fox News, Border Patrol arrested Nixon and Dixon Azuaje Perez in Eagle Pass, Texas, on Aug. 22, 2023, issued them summonses and released them on parole.
Jenny Tarr of the New York Post reposted Fox News' Bill Melgin's article on X, reporting that Pacheco Chirinos was a violent criminal who had been taken into police custody and released by prison authorities. She wrote:
He was arrested and released on bail for nearly beating a man to death at one of the closed Aurora apartments, after which he allegedly carried out a shooting at the same apartment.
Tren de Aragua — Crime across the country
Members of Tren de Aragua, or Venezuelans with ties to the gang, have been committing crimes since they arrived here, with the full approval of President Biden, unindicted visa fraudster Mayorkas, and of course Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.
The four Colorado thugs are not the only gang members released at the border.
Also released were Diego Ibarra and his brothers, Argenis and Jose, who faces 10 charges for the murder of nursing student Laken Riley in February.
The New American reported in March, citing the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Diego and Argenis near El Paso, Texas, in May 2023. They released Argenis with a notice to turn himself in on May 4.
Diego was placed in Biden's ineffective “Detention Alternatives Program” and released the day after being fitted with an ankle monitor, which he disconnected, authorities found in Colorado.
According to the federal detention motion against the thug, who was arrested on DUI and shoplifting charges, he has ties to the Tren de Aragua gang and has been “involved in recent violent encounters with police and civilian victims in New York and across the United States.” (Those “encounters” included the assault of two NYPD officers. The gang has also been involved in “systematic retail theft” in New York City, said former NYPD intelligence chief John Miller.)
The detention motion states Diego's tattoos link him to a gang.
Ibarra has a pentagram crown tattooed on the left side of his neck and a pentagram tattooed on the right side of his neck. Ibarra also has a teardrop tattoo under his right eye. Teardrop tattoos are often associated with gangs and gang culture, and are not exclusive to TdA or any particular gang.
Biden's “immigration” on the rise
From the moment Biden’s “immigrants” arrived in this country, they embarked on rampant crimes: rape, robbery, murder.
And again, many were apprehended at the southwest border and released.
Among them are three illegal immigrants charged with two counts of rape.
Police said Nicaraguan gunman Daniel Davon Bonilla, 24, raped a woman at knifepoint in New York's Coney Island while his Mexican accomplice beat her boyfriend with a metal pipe.
Border Patrol arrested Davon Bonilla on Dec. 7, 2022. However, like Diego Ibarra, he was released through an “Alternatives to Detention” program.
Papa Diop, 38, of Senegal, is charged with raping a 36-year-old woman in the South Bronx on August 5.
Border Patrol arrested him in Yuma, Arizona, but released him because they didn't have space to hold him.
In August, ICE arrested a Peruvian gang member who had been apprehended at the border and released, and who is a suspect in 23 murder cases in his home country.
