EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – The Mexican border state of Chihuahua is on alert, as it has received reports that several Venezuelan gang members have used the El Paso, Texas-Juarez, Mexico, corridor to enter the U.S.

The police chief said no murders or other acts of extreme violence can be attributed to Tren de Aragua locally but that its members have been linked to three homicides in Central Mexico.
