Police chief in one of America's most remote states beg for feds' help over Tren de Aragua infiltration --The suspect's bust in North Dakota -- one of the most remote and least populated states -- confirmed TdA’s infiltration in now 17 states. | 15 Dec 2024 | A police chief in a small North Dakota city says he and his officers were abandoned by the feds and left to fend for themselves when suspected Tren de Aragua members showed up in town. North Dakota is the latest state to report that the brutal Venezuelan migrant gang is operating there after alleged member Henry Theis, 25, was busted last month for hacking and ripping off ATMs in West Fargo to the tune of $100,000, according to authorities. And he's not the only suspected TdA member to now have been identified in the city of 40,000. West Fargo Police Chief Pete Nielsen told The Post his department is doing its best to address the threat of such foreign gang activity -- but its resources are limited, a situation that has been made only more "difficult" and "frustrating" without federal help.
