A deadly Venezuelan street gang has ordered its members, who are currently in the United States illegally, to begin attacking and killing American police officers, according to reports.
The notorious gang, Tren de Aragua, has given its illegal alien members the “green light” to murder cops, federal authorities have warned.
The shocking threat was revealed in a bulletin by the Colorado Information Analysis Center.
The notice warns that a police department in New Mexico has received information from federal partners that members have been ordered to attack police officers in Denver.
“The Albuquerque New Mexico Police Department (APD) has released this officer safety bulletin to notify law enforcement of information regarding the Tren De Aragua criminal organization and reports that TDA members in Denver have been given a ‘green light’ to fire on or attack law enforcement,” it says.
The information was first reported by The New York Post.
The Post cites a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) memo in Chicago providing similar information.
The Chicago memo also cites “credible human sources from Colorado” and warns that “we have a TdA presence here in Chicago.”
NewsNation reported that an officer safety/situation awareness bulletin had gone out to Border Patrol agents reporting similar information.
In a statement, the Denver Police Department (DPD) confirmed that it is aware of the warning.
“As with any information about possible criminal activity that may impact other jurisdictions, details are shared across agencies,” the statement said.
“DPD is monitoring and making officers aware of the safety concerns shared by our law enforcement partners.”APD said it couldn’t confirm any information in media reports, arguing that it “could put investigations and/or officers at risk.”
The notification is the latest warning in regards to the Venezuelan street gang.
Large numbers of bloodthirsty gang members have illegally entered the country by crossing “Border Czar” Kamala Harris’s open Southern Border.
“Keep your eye on this gang,” Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens warned in May.
“Their criminal activities represent a serious threat to our communities!”
Customs and Border Protections (CBP) has previously distributed intelligence bulletins to agents revealing the tattoos and identifiers of members of the gang.
TdA is said to specialize in extortion, kidnapping, murder, and sex trafficking.
Federal authorities have been warning that the gang is trying to establish itself in the U.S.
American police across the country are already linking the gang to organized crime.
The FBI has also warned that Tren de Aragua members could team up with the murderous Mexican gang MS-13.
The gang drew additional attention when it emerged that the brother of the illegal alien suspect in the killing of Georgia student Laken Riley had ties to the gang.
Both are Venezuelan illegals.
Recently the Treasury designated Tren de Aragua a significant transnational criminal organization and offered financial rewards for the conviction of three of its leaders.
John Fabbricatore, a former ICE field office director who is now running for a congressional seat in Colorado as a Republican, warns that the gang has got a foothold in the state.
Fabbricatore revealed that the gang is now taking over entire apartment buildings that function as outposts.
He said that the gang has taken advantage of the ongoing border crisis under Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration.
“This whole border situation over the last three and a half years has allowed countless criminals to be allowed into the United States, and we’re seeing an uptick in crime, especially in illegal immigrant crime throughout the US, and sanctuary cities are just magnetizing it,” he said.
He also joined others in warning about the gang, saying they are involved in drug smuggling, human trafficking, large-scale operations, and other crimes.
“For United States citizens, for people here within the United States, they are a dangerous gang,” he said.
“And with them just putting out a green light on police officers here in the United States, we could potentially see police officers being shot at by these gang members because they do not fear the law enforcement in the United States.”
