Members of the Venezuelan street gang Tren de Aragua may be pimping women in New York City, according to a report.
report noted advocates said women in the city’s migrant shelters are sometimes recruited by the gang members. Meanwhile a retired vice-squad detective said the pimps target, dupe, and trap the women into prostitution by promising them restaurant jobs. In that particular area, the retired official noted it is sad because the women are mostly forced into the situation. He added that members of the MS-13 gang and the Sureños have historically had a hold on the area, but Tren de Aragua is now fighting them over it.
