Who is Driving This Train??

By HMM Fry

We all know how much devastation is left in the wake of an uncontrolled or derailed train. The word ‘disaster’ is woefully insufficient to describe the destruction caused to a location by the collision of thousand tons of steel. Havoc. Nightmare. Calamity. Horror. Catastrophe. Tragedy.

Tren de Aragua (TdA) is all of these. It is a megatrain of epically evil proportions, intent on expanding it’s hubs into every nook, hamlet, town and city across North & South America. Within Utah, Governor Spencer Cox has rolled out the red carpet for thousands of illegal immigrants — (and Cox has enthusiastically adopted the euphemistic term, “New Americans”) — and the proven presence of TdA in Utah has facilitated the dramatic increase of crime and corruption in our state.

This is far bigger than the ideological divide between liberals v. conservatives or illegal immigrants v. legal citizens. Both the state & federal administrations’ egregious lack of protection across Utah and at our country’s borders has effectively invited this chaos into our country and state and offered it sanctuary. As explored in The Washington Post, there is an organized effort to bring down our nation.

Tren de Aragua adopted its name between 2013 and 2015, but it’s operations started years before and has its origin in the unions of workers who labored on the construction of a railway project in Venezuela, according to a report by Transparency Venezuela. The group’s leadership, according to the report, operated out of the notorious Tocorón prison, which they controlled for the past several years. Retired general, Óscar Naranjo, a former vice president of Colombia and chief of the Colombian National Police, told CNN that Tren de Aragua is “the most disruptive criminal organization operating nowadays in Latin America, a true challenge for the region.” Venezuelan officials raided the prison in Sept 2023, realizing that they were too late — the prison population had escaped the week prior.

By early 2024, Congress knew of the dangers that TdA was bringing upon the safety of US citizens:

In March 2024, a group of Republican members of Congress led by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and his fellow Republican Representative Ana María Salazar, sent a letter to President Joe Biden urging him to take action by designating the gang as a “transnational criminal organization.”

In the letter, the legislators said, “If left unchecked, they will unleash an unprecedented reign of terror, mirroring the devastation it has already inflicted in communities throughout Central and South America, most prominently in Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru.’ ” (https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/09/us/tren-de-aragua-venezuela-gang/index.html with CNN’s Jaide Timm-Garcia contributing to this report.)

Yet, for months, across several states, the public was consistently misinformed by media, law enforcement, and local & national administrations. During autumn of 2024, Tren de Aragua infamously took violent control of an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado; since that report, TdA has been establishing bases in Utah and more than 15 additional states. Yet citizens have been lied to for months about the existence of and presence of TdA in Utah, Idaho, Texas, Florida, and more.

On Nov 20, 2024, Bill Colley advised the readers & listeners of Idaho’s KLIX NewsRadio 1310FM, “The best advice if you encounter one of the gang’s members at a shop or a rest stop is to give them a wide berth. Killing is often a rite of passage for these criminal elements.” Read More: The Violent Drug Gang Coming Soon to Idaho |

“They have followed the migration paths across South America to other countries and have set up criminal groups throughout South America as they follow those paths, and that they appear to follow the migration north to the United States,” Britton Boyd, an FBI special agent in El Paso, Texas, told CNN.

With connections across America and facilitated by an unregulated southern border, a criminally negligent DHS secretary, the current US border “czar” serving within an incompetent administration — is it any wonder that our country’s citizens are being terrorized by a transnational criminal enterprise described as “the epitome of evil.”

Utahns, and all Americans, need to know how the media has colluded with the government in a massive cover-up that has been going on for several months. Simply start a Google search with the terms: Tren de Aragua, Venezuelan gangs, New Americans, States with sanctuary programs…
