Times Square Tren de Aragua teen thugs born from perfect storm of pro-crime prog policies

Tren de Aragua migrant gangbangers are wreaking havoc in Times Square and elsewhere — with zero real consequences because they’re under 18 and their offenses aren’t bail-eligible, not to mention New York’s “sanctuary city” privileges for border-jumpers. It’s a perfect storm of deadly progressive policies: The Harris-Biden border disaster meets New York’s deranged criminal justice “reforms.”A crew of almost two dozen babyfaced thugs has been terrorizing the streets.The Tren sub-cadre goes by the ominous name Los Diablos de la 42 (presumably after their preferred hunting ground); they’re based out of the Roosevelt Hotel, an epicenter of our “sanctuary city” nightmare. They’ve racked up 50 separate incidents across tourist hotspots, including gunpoint robberies — and they’ve been flashing the weapons they use in them on their social accounts.  Despite this, not a one is behind bars. For that, you can thank both the disastrous Raise the Age law and the Empire State’s demolition of bail eligibility. Remember, under Raise the Age even a 17-year-old can commit most crimes with impunity (which is precisely why Tren and other gangs recruit members as young as 11). They face Family Court hearings, not criminal trials, with zero real consequences.  And our bail-reform laws, plus woke judges intent on letting criminals go free, mean that serial lower-level offenses often go unpunished even when violent or destructive. Until, of course, the brute committing them escalates to something truly heinous, and another life is lost, another family torn apart. Pour into this lawless environment an influx into the city of more than 200,000 “asylum seekers” since 2022, streaming across our border utterly unvetted and providing perfect camouflage for any enterprising criminal looking for green pastures.And the result we are now seeing is inevitable.  It’s proof that both Kamala Harris’ border policy and the pro-crime laws beloved of New...
