Things are getting worse as dangerous consequences of the Biden-Harris administration’s open border policies are becoming more apparent. Recently, members of a violent Venezuelan prison gang known as Tren de Aragua were spotted terrorizing neighborhoods in northern Denver suburbs like Aurora, as well as other so-called “sanctuary cities” where the local governments refuse to fully enforce immigration laws. Earlier, we reported how a Venezuelan spy was behind illegal migrants invading US homes.
But it’s not just happening in big cities. Something even more alarming is spreading across parts of Texas, threatening a vital part of America’s energy supply.
Just this week, new information surfaced about how criminal gangs, including armed migrants from Cuba and Venezuela, are targeting the Permian Basin—America’s most productive oil field located in West Texas. A Texas-based oil and gas company sent a memo to its employees warning them about the dangers.
According to law enforcement and the FBI, these gangs are now organizing and committing violent crimes, thefts, and attacks in West Texas. They have been stealing oil, diesel fuel, copper wire, and other valuable materials from oil field sites. But it’s not just theft—these criminals are willing to use violence to get what they want.
For example, in one case, gang members tried to steal oil from a site but were spotted by witnesses. The thieves didn’t hesitate to use their cars to try to run the witnesses off the road. In another case, a thief working with a gang tried to use his vehicle to force another witness off the road after a successful oil theft. These are not isolated incidents, but part of a growing trend in West Texas.
A security camera even caught one of these criminals on video. He was armed and checking out the area before stealing diesel fuel from a site.
This isn’t just a local problem—it’s a national one. Many Americans may not realize that there are cities and states with laws that protect illegal immigrants, making it easier for these criminals to hide. Aurora, Colorado, is a perfect example of how dangerous this can be. The lack of enforcement in these areas has turned them into crime havens.
But why is no one treating this like the national security threat it is? The answer might be political. It’s an election year, and the current administration’s policies have allowed this to happen. Now, armed criminal gangs are putting our energy infrastructure—and even our lives—at risk.
America is sleepwalking into a disaster. The question is: what will it take for someone to wake up and do something about it?
