El Paso Seeks to Shut Down Gang-Controlled Hotel
News summary

The Gateway Hotel in downtown El Paso, Texas, has become a crime hotspot allegedly controlled by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, prompting the El Paso County Attorney to file a restraining order against the owner, Howard Yun. Over the past two years, police have responded to nearly 700 calls related to criminal activities at the hotel, including drug use, prostitution, and violence, with incidents notably escalating since the gang's involvement. Documentation submitted to the court highlights various crimes, including aggravated assaults and indecency with minors, with disturbing reports of a 14-year-old victim. Additionally, security footage showed individuals engaging in illegal activities such as drug use and violent altercations within the hotel premises. The hotel has been operating without a valid certificate of occupancy and has failed multiple fire inspections, indicating serious regulatory violations. Officials are seeking to shut down the establishment to restore public safety in the area.
