Sending Venezuelan criminals home to their country just got harder as the country has stopped a deal that allows the U.S. to fly them home, even as they are linked to more crimes.
A wave of violent crimes being carried out across America has been linked to Venezuelan migrants, and the U.S. government cannot deport any of them, as the South American country will not take any of its citizens back.
An illegal immigrant originally from Venezuela has been charged in connection with the violent murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus on Thursday. Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, the suspect, was released into the U.S. via parole, three ICE & DHS sources told Fox News.
In New York City, the NYPD are trying to crack down on a violent Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua that it says is responsible for terrorizing residents with dozens of robberies in the Big Apple, where the group has now been blamed for scooter and moped robberies as well as retail theft.
At least two of its members were arrested in connection with the shocking mob assault of two New York City police officers last month.
In a separate New York City case, a 15-year-old Venezuelan migrant was arrested for shooting at cops as he fled a sports clothing store in Times Square, where police say he shot at a security guard and ended up striking a tourist in the leg.
In Chicago, meanwhile, four immigrants from Venezuela were arrested last week for allegedly robbing and beating a man on a CTA train in Chicago.
