Brace yourself: Violent migrant crime is metastasizing.
The brutal Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has now expanded to at least 16 states and Washington, DC, per an internal Homeland Security memo.
The district, Virginia, Montana and Wyoming are the latest additions to the ever-growing list of states suffering the gang’s presence.
And the thugs’ “violent tendencies” have only grown, warns the memo.

President Biden’s come-one, come-all border policies, which DHS oversees, opened the doors to millions of migrants, including gang members entering thanks to the paucity of vetting.
So much for the countless claims from the prez and Mayorkas that the border is secure or at least “under control”; now even DHS itself admits (to itself, anyway) that migrant crime and violence are exploding.
“As the population of Venezuelan nationals continues to increase, the potential for violent TdA migrants is highly probable,” frets the memo.
Indeed, TdA crime has already been vicious: One member, Jose Ibarra, is now on trial for slaying 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley. (Team Biden even paid for his flight from NYC to Georgia, where the murder took place.)
In Aurora, Colo., gun-toting thugs have taken over entire apartment complexes, beating and extorting owners.

This is the pathetic legacy Biden and Mayorkas leave behind.
And it’s the crisis President-elect Donald Trump and his crew — Kristi Noem at DHS and former ICE boss Tom Homan as border czar — have (thankfully) vowed to make Priority No. 1.
That’ll mean immediately ending the current border madness, which lets millions enter illegally.
And aggressively pursuing and deporting criminal migrants at the heart of the problem.
They’d best move fast: America doesn’t need more Laken Riley horror shows.
