On January 1st, the New York Post reported that members of the Venezuelan criminal organization "Aragua Train" gang tried to attack the US-Mexico border crossing in order to enter the United States before Trump's inauguration. Texas law enforcement officials document that the bandits attacked at the border crossing in the city of El Paso with knives, claiming to attack border guards who stopped them. Last week, 20 armed Venezuelan bandits tried to enter the country, and the next attack by the "Aragua Train" gang is expected to take place on January 1st. El Paso is considered the headquarters of the gang, and many members enter the United States through this place. Retired Homeland Security Investigations agents said that the increase in border crossing attempts is closely related to Trump's upcoming inauguration, and border violence is expected to intensify because the bandits know that the situation will change in 27 days. Trump has said he plans to deport illegal immigrants on a large scale, making it a key issue in his campaign.
