Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua takes over Texas motel

Officials in El Paso, are trying to shut down a motel in downtown after they say it has become a den controlled by Venezuelan super gang, Tren de Aragua, with police responding to the property nearly 700 times in the last two years.

The vicious South American gang-- best known for selling women and children into sex slavery and exploiting its own countrymen-- most recently made headlines in Aurora, , where armed thugs were seen storming an apartment complex residents say they have taken control of.

In a lawsuit filed by the El Paso County Attorney alleges Gateway Hotel owner Howard Yun is not trying 'to control the conduct of the guests and is negligently allowing gang activity to infiltrate the area.'
