Tren de Aragua Members Arrested in NYC Bust

Denyeer Aramillo Meneses and Edison Pena Angulo, members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, were arrested in New York City following a months-long investigation by a task force led by the NYPD and Homeland Security. They were among 15 gang members captured in a raid that uncovered drugs, credit card fraud activities, and a cache of weapons. Both suspects were linked to a viral video of a violent apartment invasion in Aurora, Colorado, where they are charged with first-degree burglary and menacing with a firearm. The gang allegedly operated a drug ring from the Bronx to lower Manhattan, selling heroin, synthetic marijuana, and Tussi. The arrests highlight the cross-state impact and reach of the gang's criminal activities. Despite these arrests, the charges against them at the federal level remain sealed.
