Vice President Kamala Harris and her boss, President Joe Biden — who, as Trump stated during the debate on Tuesday evening, doesn’t even know he’s alive — would have you believe that things at the southern border aren’t that bad. All of the talk of increased crime rates and such are nothing more than false claims made by evil racists who hate brown-skinned people.
Then how does Harris explain a judge in the state of Texas ordering a hotel in El Paso, a border city, to shut down due to serious criminal activity being carried out by the super violent Tren de Aragua gang that hails from Venezuela? Officials in the city have issued a complaint as part of a lawsuit against the owners of the Gateway Hotel after they received a whopping 700 calls for service at the establishment.
Nothing to see here, guys. Move along.
“The El Paso County Attorney’s Office filed a lawsuit against the owners of the Gateway Hotel, alleging the property owners have been operating the hotel without a valid certificate of occupancy for approximately six years, the El Paso Times reported. The lawsuit seeks to shut down the operation of the hotel on the basis of public nusciance laws after police received 693 calls for service to the property,” Breitbart News reported.
“There should be concern due to the establishment and rise of the Venezuelan Criminal Organization ‘Tren de Aragua’ at the Gateway Hotel. We discovered several Venezuelans have the tattoo identifiers of Tren de Aragua.” Court records show that El Paso Police Department officials alleged the “hotel has become a hub for suspected gang activity, particularly members of the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua,” the Times article stated.
Police claim the owners of the Gateway Hotel have not attempted to control the illegal activity and allow drug use, gang activity, and illegal dumping to continue despite warnings from police. Officers called the hotel a threat to public safety. Dangerous activity alleged to be conducted in the hotel include a man yielding a hatched, people wielding knives, and at least one incident of a gun being fired in the hotel, the New York Post reported. Surveillance video screenshots released by the County Attorney’s Office show the chaos in the hallways of the facility.
County Attorney Christina Sanchez told the news outlet the videos show “people partying … drinking, smoking and dancing provocatively while children are present … at least one gun being shot, … men holding knives and another man with a hatchet assaulting people and causing damage to the hotel in front of a security guard,” the Post stated.
Police discovered a group of migrants hailing from Venezuela who were marked with the Tren de Aragua gang tattoo, according to KVIA ABC 7, which is what led to so many believing the criminal organization was involved in the spike of illegal activity coming from the hotel.
“”There should be concern due to the establishment and rise of the Venezuelan Criminal Organization ‘Tren de Aragua’ at the Gateway Hotel. We discovered several Venezuelans have the tattoo identifiers of Tren de Aragua,” an El Paso Police officer stated in a written affidavit for the lawsuit.
Judge Maria Salas-Mendoza for the Texas 120th District Court, issued a temporary injunction earlier in the week. The decision states the hotel is to be closed down pending a complete hearing on the lawsuit. As of this writing, the hearing is scheduled for December 9.
