As ICE raided apartment complexes in Denver looking for vicious Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gangsters, desperate migrants looking to escape arrest ended up on the roof of an apartment complex, exclusive video obtained by DailyMail.com shows.
Several alleged members of TdA, as the super gang is known to law enforcement, ended up on the roof of Whispering Pines Apartment in Aurora, Colorado as federal agents moved in Wednesday morning.
The feds had warrants for several wanted criminals who had been under surveillance for some time.
As agents went door-to-door looking for them, several migrants climbed onto the roof of the property.
One eyewitness described one migrant as appearing as though he might jump down, however, that did not happen.
Video of the incident shows several men on their knees with their hands behind their backs as armed agents behind them bound their wrists together with zip ties.
Whispering Pines is one of the three Aurora complexes taken over by the South American syndicate since last year.
The dramatic clip is just one of several that emerged from yesterday’s raids as ICE, back up by other federal agencies like the FBI and DEA, targeted several properties.
Agents also went to the Jewell, the latest property infiltrated by the mob, as DailyMail.com exclusively reported last week.
An images from the raid at The Jewell shows an armored truck on site for the safety of the agents, as TdA thugs are considered armed and dangerous.
The gang’s leadership has instructed members to shoot cops in the US.
It’s unclear how many migrants were rounded up as part of the targeted enforcement Wednesday, however, sources tell DailyMail.com the total fell short of the 100 migrants Immigration and Customs Enforcement had hoped to nab.
Since Pres. Donald Trump took office, about 194 TdA thugs have been arrested by the federal government, according to Fox News.
Doorcam footage from Whispering Pines also shows agents knocking on the doors of other residents.
Agents did not have warrants for those residents, so they relied on the willingness of each person to open the door or not, sources confirm.
