Tren de Aragua threat should be taken 'very seriously,' California undersheriff says

The brutal Venezuelan gang is expanding its territory in the U.S.
SANTEE, Calif. — In the city hall, near the base of the hills surrounding the border town of Santee, California, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) led a House Judiciary Committee field hearing to discuss the impacts of the immigration crisis on the Golden State, where many non-Central Americans have illegally entered into the United States.

California was initially spared the brunt of the record number of illegal border crossings at the start of the Biden-Harris administration, but as time went on, people from countries such as China reportedly started to take advantage of the country's open border. Now, years after the crisis started, international gangs unknown in the United States prior to 2021 have established themselves in multiple cities across the country.

Riverside County Undersheriff Don Sharp testified that even though his county does not sit directly on the border like San Diego County, his department has been busy dealing with the human and drug trafficking that has made its way past Border Patrol.
