Venezuelan Migrants Arrested in Connecticut Murder Case

Two Venezuelan migrants, Gregory Marlyn Galindez-Trias, 24, and Moises Alejandro Condollo-Urbaneja, 22, were arrested in Rensselaer, New York, in connection with the murder of Angel Samaniego, 59, in Stamford, Connecticut. The suspects allegedly used Samaniego's stolen credit card, leading to their apprehension near an Amtrak station. Both individuals are suspected members of the Tren de Aragua gang, a violent transnational organization from Venezuela, and Galindez-Trias expressed fear of retaliation from the gang during her court appearance. Two young children accompanying them were taken into protective custody by Child Protective Services. The case highlights growing concerns about the gang's influence in the U.S. amidst increased Venezuelan migration. Former President Donald Trump has announced plans for a crackdown on the gang if reelected, suggesting a heightened focus on criminal elements among migrants.
