EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – A Texas state district judge has given the owners of a Downtown El Paso hotel until 10 a.m. Thursday to vacate the building.

The 90-day injunction signed Tuesday by District Court Judge Maria Salas Mendoza comes after the El Paso County Attorney’s Office alleged multiple health violations and criminal activity.

The 77-page document includes allegations from El Paso Police Department officers that criminal activity ramped up when members of the Venezuela-based Tren de Aragua transnational criminal organization introduced themselves to the hotel.

Remember the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang that took over an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado? That same gang has taken over a hotel in El Paso.

    A hotel in El Paso and its owner face a temporary injunction and restraining order from the El Paso County Attorney for alleged criminal activity and suspicions of housing Tren de Aragua gang members.

    El Paso County Attorney Christina Sanchez filed an original petition for abatement of a common nuisance, an application for a temporary restraining order, a temporary injunction, and a permanent injunction against the Gateway Hotel.

    “The Gateway Hotel’s reputation is as a business that does not properly document the guests that stay at the hotel, has narcotics trafficking, disorderly conduct, and violent crime,” read the lawsuit.
