The Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, which was converted into a migrant refuge, served as a base of operations for both gangs.
An further law enforcement source stated, “If you look at New York City at the Roosevelt Hotel.
There was a big Anti-Tren movement there before TdA really locked their teeth into that place because the Venezuelans were there first and then TdA came in secondary.”
Both organizations preyed on impoverished women and young girls who were yearning to enter the US but lacked the funds to do so.
Anti-Tren promised to smuggle the women into the United States in return for their bodies.
