Vicious Tren de Aragua ‘ringleader’ busted in NYC immigration raids on kidnapping warrant from Aurora, Colorado
A violent Tren de Aragua ringleader wanted over an infamous, caught-on-camera break-in in Aurora, Colorado was busted in the first Trump administration
immigration raids in New York City on Tuesday, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco, 25, was nabbed when heavily armed Homeland Security Investigations officers stormed an Ogden Avenue apartment building in the Bronx in the early hours, the sources said.
The gangbanger, who sources described as a ringleader of the
vicious Venezuelan gang in Aurora, had a warrant out for a slew of charges — including kidnapping, burglary and menacing – in Colorado.
Pacheco was allegedly among the heavily-armed suspects who were caught on surveillance video forcing their way into the apartment in Aurora, just outside Denver, last August.
The terrifying footage quickly thrust the suburb into the national spotlight as it became a hotbed of Tren de Aragua activity, with gang members taking over multiple apartment complexes in the city of 400,000.
His apprehension came as President Trump’s new
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem shared footage of a man – who she called a “criminal alien with kidnapping, assault & burglary charges” — being led in cuffs from an apartment building during one of the Big Apple raids.
“Dirtbags like this will continue to be removed from our streets,” Noem wrote alongside the clip.
Noem also shared a handful of images of herself wearing a protective ICE vest as she embedded with officers from multiple federal agencies in hitting the targets.
