BELLAIRE, Texas: "A Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua has cast a shadow over Houston, particularly in its middle schools, with a recent arrest underscoring deeper concerns about the gang’s reach into local communities. On Monday, the Texas Department of Public Safety arrested 32-year-old Jorgenys Robertson Cova, a Venezuelan native who entered the U.S. illegally two years ago. Cova is suspected of recruiting middle school students at Jane Long Academy and Las Americas, both within the Houston Independent School District.
The gang's activities are not confined to Houston with recent weeks seeing Tren de Aragua members arrested across Colorado, New York, Chicago, San Antonio, and El Paso, signifying the transnational reach of the organization, which has posed significant challenges for law enforcement in identifying its members.
The governor’s office has weighed in on the matter, with Governor Greg Abbott’s office offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of known or suspected Tren de Aragua members who have been or are involved in criminal activity and pose an increasing danger to the public safety of Texans."
