“Good.” CT Senate GOP Statement on SCOTUS Allowing Continued Removal of Tren de Aragua Gang Members

Sen. Rob Sampson, Sen. Eric Berthel and Sen. Stephen Harding issued the following statement regarding the U.S. Supreme Court allowing the continued removal of Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members from the country under the Alien Enemies Act.

“Good.

This notorious Venezuelan super gang has spread its criminal tentacles into Stamford, CT.

The spread of a notoriously violent transnational gang into our region is alarming enough, but the involvement of individuals tied to the Venezuelan prison gang in a Stamford murder must be a wake-up call.

Anyone downplaying the impact of the national illegal immigration crisis on life here in CT is ignoring reality.

State and local leaders must confront this issue head-on and reconsider policies—like expanding free healthcare for illegal aliens —that will further push us toward becoming a ‘sanctuary state’ in the mold of California.”
