law enforcement is enhancing measures to crack down on tda but is still struggling to identify them.ring in joseph, executive director of the center for the secure free society to discuss this. joseph, merry christmas, thanks for coming in today. we are hearing more and more about tda and as i mentioned they are now in 19 states across the country. let's put up a map to look at where they are. there you go. from coast-to-coast, california to new york and many places in between, most recently up couple was kidnapped from that notorious apartment complex in aurora, colorado. they were taken to a vacant unit, tied up, pistol-whipped and the husband was stabbed. these are pretty brutal crimes. why are law enforcement officials having ident trouble identifying them? >> merry christmas as well. tren de aragua caught law enforcement by surprise because it's getting that has concealed themselves throughout latin america by blending in with other transnational criminal organizations. that was before. they started to franchise their name throughout the region. what makes them even more dangero

tda arrests, and your reaction to it and insight how rapidly this dangerous violent venezuelan gang is growing in the u.s. >> well, look, griff, you and i have talked about this many times it all goes back to the vetting program. and you've got secretary mayorkas, and if they're properly vetted into the united states. we don't have criminal access in venezuela, we don't have access to criminal data bases and information in most countries around the world. so when they say they're properly vetted they're running through ncic, which is our system or a trip wide state system, but vetting doesn't include their criminal vetting in home nations. and they're misleading the american people saying they're vetted and properly safe. and tda when we first discovered it in the united states we said it would rapidly expand across the country. the good news you have president trump coming into office january 20th and tda is on notice and ice offices are prepared to go out and target public safety threats where tda is on top of that public safety threats. their days are numbered. and i can't wait for

that is that the tda surge is unprecedented. we can show you on a map, they have a foothold in 17 states and counting. you can see the map from coast-to-coast, and you are right. the data does not register a single criminal arrest of a venezuelan tda gang member until fiscal year 2023. i have interviewed chief owns of the border patrol, and pj -- from ice. neither had heard of this gang and had to deal with it until this administration. i want to ask you. here's tom homan talking about the threats and cracking down. listen. >> i have been born to that right out of the gate we will concentrate on public safety threats. i have mayors and governors sitting there doing everything to prevent me from arresting public safety threats. the number of migrants who have died crossing this border, a record number: almost 4,000. how many lives have we lost -- migrants and u.s. citizens -- until they get a sense that a secure border saves lives? >> i take him at his word. have known him for a long time. the crackdown is coming, but do you anti

this is targeted gang violence by very violent organization, tda. we used to talk about ms-134 or five years ago. they're still active but this is the new version of that and to see them gain strongholds in certain cities and metropolitan areas is a major concern because the violence flows from that and of course we see this now in aurora. the vice president elect is right. how many times does it take to get your attention and to get law enforcement attention? when you play it down, the police officers and law enforcement hear that and so i think it's very important to be honest with the american people. any time there is anything like this. you see this in aurora pulling out fingernails. this is not common crime that is going on here. this is organized criminal activity that needs to be dealt with. >> dana: chad wolf, thank you so much for being with us here today. >> bill: thank you, sir. on a similar topic we mentioned this a moment ago. andy biggs out of arizona talking about border security and crackdown. drop in on capitol hill. >> thank you,
