The UnWoke Show Season 2, Episode: 75 “Venezuelan Gangs Are Expanding Abroad… What Does It Mean for Cities?”

A Venezuelan gang once confined to one region is now being tracked in multiple U.S. cities… and law enforcement is paying attention. The group known as Tren de Aragua has been linked to activity beyond its home country, with reports and investigations pointing to a presence in places like Colorado, Chicago, New York, and elsewhere. That raises a bigger question: How does a transnational gang expand this far… and what does that actually mean for local communities? Because when a story like this starts spreading, it can be hard to separate: What’s confirmed… what’s emerging… and what’s being amplified. So what do we actually know? And how should cities respond when threats don’t stay within borders? Tim and Rich break it down on The UnWoke Show.   Show Notes https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/colorado-law-firm-report-claims-venezuelan-gang-stranglehold-apartments-takeover-began-2023/ https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/cpd-addresses-viral-social-media-posts-on-911-call-about-armed-venezuelan-gang-at-chicago-building/3538949/   Social Media https://x.com/UnWokeTheShow https://bsky.app/profile/theunwokeshow.bsky.social Podcast links https://theunwokeshow.podbean.com/ https://open.spotify.com/show/27rkGZYhccSF8stUzzGxaI https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unwoke-show/id1686015698 https://goodpods.com/podcasts/the-unwoke-show-309196 https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnWokeShow/videos?app=desktop   Feedback [email protected]
