Following a notable assault involving New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers and young members of the violent Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, reports from Fox News reveal that migrants are heavily involved in criminal activities within New York City shelters.

Data indicates that from January 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024, there were 3,219 migrants residing in 48 city shelters who accounted for 4,884 arrests. 

The leading offenses carried out by these migrants included 1,285 instances of theft, 544 cases of assault, and 497 drug-related crimes. Additionally, they were involved in 493 grand larcenies, 236 robberies, and 141 sexual offenses.

Illegal alien gang crime in the city came to the forefront Tuesday when the NYPD confirmed that two of its officers were surrounded and beaten by known teenage members of Tren de Aragua in Times Square on Friday night. 

Five of the 11 suspects, all illegal aliens from Venezuela, have been arrested in connection with the attack, which involved the migrant crew throwing glass bottles, basketballs and rocks at NYPD officers who were responding to a robbery.

The youngest suspect in the attack is 12 years old, and police sources said that two of the suspects were picked up by their migrant parents, and one is being charged as an adult for riot and assault, according to police.

The teen gang members are part of a Tren de Aragua subset called Los Diablos de 42 and have been known to police since 2022 in connection with a string of robberies.

Many of them had been jailed before but released because of lax juvenile crime policies in the city, according to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
