On Tuesday, an exclusive New York Post story broke with news that the ringleader of the infamous Aurora, Colorado apartment building takeovers has been arrested in New York City. This is one goblin we should be glad is off the streets.

A violent Tren de Aragua ringleader sought in an infamous, caught-on-camera break-in in Aurora, Colo., was nabbed Tuesday in a dramatic pre-dawn raid in New York City — across from an elementary school, sources said.
Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco, 25, was taken into custody as part of the Trump administration’s first promised immigration raids in the Big Apple, law-enforcement sources told The Post.
He was caught by heavily armed Homeland Security Investigations officers who stormed an Ogden Avenue apartment building in The Bronx in the early hours, the sources said. The building is across the street from PS 11, a k a the Highbridge School.
Earlier on Tuesday, my colleague Mike Miller described the story of the operation of which Zambrano-Pacheco’s arrest was a part.

Mike writes:
Eight days into Trump 2.0, heads on both sides of the political divide continue to swirl. From President Donald Trump to Border Czar Tom Homan to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and others, the hammer continues to drop, leaving freaked-out D.C. bureaucrats mumbling and scratching their heads while updating their resumes.
Early Tuesday morning, Trump’s new DHS boss Kristi Noem got after it, as well — bigly.
The former South Dakota governor, who was sworn into office on Saturday, joined an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in “sanctuary city” New York City early Tuesday to witness ICE agents nab illegal aliens, most of whom, in this first stage of Trump mass repatriation plan, are criminals.
Or as Noem called the illegals, “dirtbags.”

Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco would seem to be a dirtbag among dirtbags. He is wanted not only for being in the country illegally but also is facing charges in Colorado of kidnapping, burglary, and menacing. Kicking in doors while armed with a rifle is pretty menacing, after all, and Zambrano-Pacheco was allegedly not only a part of that apartment-building assault but one of the ringleaders.
On Sunday, in Colorado, a bunch of his fellow Tren de Aragua gang members were also rounded up. It’s not inconceivable that one of them may have given away Zambrano-Pacheco’s location; these goblins don’t seem to be big on Omertà.

The ICE/Homeland Security and other arms of law enforcement sure seem to be fanning out across the land. Border “encounters” are dropping dramatically, and illegal alien criminals are being rounded up and either jailed pending trial or repatriated. The only bad thing about all this is that it took the return of President Trump to get this going; evidence would indicate that many in ICE, Homeland Security, and most especially local law enforcement knew all along who these goblins were, where they were, and when and where to find them; granted in the beginning, they are going after the worst offenders, but they are bagging a lot of goblins very quickly.

Nope. Still not tired of winning.
