Texas Democrats Wring Hands over Illegal Aliens Arrested at Suspected Tren de Aragua Night Club

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Two Democrat lawmakers from Texas appear to be losing sleep over a recent federal law enforcement raid at an illegally run nightclub that resulted in the arrests of more than 150 illegal aliens. Those arrested included 27 suspected members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang. Two Democrat congressmen are now demanding answers about the recent raid.

Congressmen Joaquin Castro (D-TX) and Greg Cassar (D-TX) authored a letter addressed to senior Trump administration officials including Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi listing their concerns with the operation in San Antonio law week where 14 state, local, and federal agencies made more than 150 illegal alien arrests, seized cocaine, firearms, and approximately $35,000 in cash.

In their letter, also addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel and Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, Texas lawmakers asserted the law enforcement action is concerning to them both saying, “Due to the numerous reports this year on agents of Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and other agencies overstepping their legal authority, we are extremely concerned about the legality of the detainments and the due process of the detainees. Any operation of this scale demands full transparency regarding the basis for the raid, which agencies participated, and the status of those detained.”

The lawmakers are requesting that Trump administration officials provide the evidence law enforcement agents used to justify obtaining the warrant from a federal judge, what law enforcement agencies were involved in the action, and information about the illegal aliens arrested at the illegally run nightclub. Breitbart Texas reported that parts of the raid were captured on security camera footage.
