Ominous NEW migrant gang emerges in America's biggest city as dozens of members are arrested
Brittany Chain

Disillusioned gangsters have splintered from Tren du Aragua to form an 'Anti-Tren' alliance terrorizing the streets of New York City.

In a shocking revelation on Tuesday, authorities said a targeted effort to crack down on the Tren du Aragua criminal enterprise in the city actually yielded unexpected results.

A total of 27 people were indicted on sweeping charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, drug, and firearms charges - but just six are current members of the feared Venezuelan gang.

The remainder - 21 people - are instead linked to a new 'splinter' gang who refer to themselves as 'Anti-Tren.'

Membership is primarily comprised of former Tren du Aragua gangsters who have become disenfranchised or ostracized from the original group. 

But authorities say their actions are equally as chilling as the original gang, which President Trump designated as a terror cell upon his return to the White House.

In an indictment seen by DailyMail.com, prosecutors allege the Anti-Tren gang  'preserved and protected their power and territory' through 'acts of murder... and threats of violence.'

These gangsters, like their counterparts, are accused of smuggling young women from Venezuela into the United States for the sole purpose of subjecting them to sex trafficking.

These women, referred to among the group as 'multadas' - which is the feminine variation of the Spanish word 'multar', which translates to being 'given a ticket' or 'fined' - are subjected to immense cruelty by gang members, authorities allege.

Women are told they must engage in sex work to pay off supposed debts, and gang members threaten to kill both them and their families if they attempt to flee or seek help.

According to the indictment, these women are 'pistol whipped', sometimes shot, killed or raped, and tracked down and kidnapped if they do escape. 

Oftentimes, their debt only increases as their work - which usually takes place in the Bronx - continues.

Group members are also accused of selling drugs on the street and conducting armed robberies.  

The indictment states that one accused member 'attempted to bite law enforcement officers executing a premises search warrant' to prevent the officer from accessing his cellphone.

'Because the Trump administration is committed to removing every single member of TdA and MS-13 from this country.'

He also hit out at a lawsuit attempting to block Mayor Eric Adams from giving ICE agents to the notorious Rikers Island.

Of the 27 gangsters named in the indictment, 21 were already in prison and five were picked up on the streets.

'I hope the people who filed the lawsuit sees this press conference today, because what you see today is the result of collaboration between local and federal law enforcement,' he said.

'No-one can argue what happened here in the last several months that resulted in 27 TdA being indicted, no-one can argue that doesn't make the streets of New York safer.'

Mayor Adams also addressed the efforts, asking: 'Whose side are you on?'

'Are you on the side of those who are carrying these illegal guns, wreaking havoc, sex trafficking, harming innocent people, regardless of their documentation, or are you on the side of hard-working New Yorkers and Americans? I'm clear on which side I'm on.'

Attorney General Pam Bondi hailed the indictment as a huge success, noting: 'Tren de Aragua is not just a street gang - it is a highly structured terrorist organization.

'Today's indictments and arrests span three states and will devastate TdA's infrastructure as we work to completely dismantle and purge this organization from our country.'
