Quote:The Venezuelan street gang Tren de Aragua is believed to have given what authorities are calling the "green light" to attack and kill police officers, federal authorities have warned.

A bulletin by the Colorado Information Analysis Center, a screenshot of which was shared with Fox News Digital, warns that a police department in New Mexico have received information from federal partners that members have been encouraged to attack police officers in Denver.

"The Albuquerque New Mexico Police Department (APD) has released this officer safety bulletin to notify law enforcement of information regarding the Tren De Aragua criminal organization and reports that TDA members in Denver have been given a "green light" to fire on or attack law enforcement," it says.

The information was first reported by The New York Post, which cites a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) memo in Chicago providing similar information citing also "credible human sources from Colorado" and warning that "we have a TdA presence here in Chicago." NewsNation reported that an officer safety/situation awareness bulletin had gone out to Border Patrol agents reporting similar information.

Denver Police Department told Fox News Digital that it was aware of the warning.

"As with any information about possible criminal activity that may impact other jurisdictions, details are shared across agencies. DPD is monitoring and making officers aware of the safety concerns shared by our law enforcement partners," the statement said.

APD said it couldn’t confirm any information in media reports, and said that disclosure of internal police bulletins "could put investigations and/or officers at risk."

HSI did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.

The notification is the latest warning in regards to the Venezuelan street gang, some members of which have come across the southern border.

"Keep your eye on this gang," Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens warned in May. "Their criminal activities represent a serious threat to our communities!"

Customs and Border Protections (CBP) has previously distributed intelligence bulletins to agents revealing the tattoos and identifiers for the gang.

TdA is said to specialize in extortion, kidnapping, murder and sex trafficking. Federal authorities have been warning that the gang is trying to establish itself in the U.S., where police are already linking it to organized crime. The FBI has also warned that the gang could team up with the bloodthirsty MS-13.

The gang drew additional attention when it emerged that the brother of the suspect in the killing of Georgia student Laken Riley had ties to the gang. Both are Venezuelan illegal immigrants. Recently the Treasury designated Tren de Aragua a significant transnational criminal organization and offered financial rewards for the conviction of three of its leaders.

John Fabbricatore, a former ICE field office director who is now running for a congressional seat in Colorado as a Republican, told Fox News Digital that the gang has got a foothold in the state and is taking over apartment buildings. He said that the gang has taken advantage of the ongoing border crisis.

"This whole border situation over the last three and a half years has allowed countless criminals to be allowed into the United States, and we're seeing an uptick in crime, especially in illegal immigrant crime throughout the US, and sanctuary cities are just magnetizing it," he said.

He also joined others in warning about the gang, saying they are involved in drug trafficking, large-scale operations and other crimes.

"For United States citizens, for people here within the United States, they are a dangerous gang. And with them just putting out a green light on police officers here in the United States, we could potentially see police officers being shot at by these gang members because they do not fear the law enforcement in the United States," he said.

'Open war on cops': Illegal immigrants who bit NYPD officers set free without bail

Quote:On Sunday, two illegal immigrants were arrested in New York City following a physical dispute with police during which one allegedly bit an officer and the other attacked them with his moped. Instead of being held in custody after being charged with assault and assault on a police officer, 24-year-old Brian Joseph and 19-year-old Jose Gonzelez were released by prosecutors without bail.

The decision drew the ire of many within the New York Police Department, with one officer suggesting those who should be ensuring that criminals stay off the streets had just given the green light for an "open war on cops." A number of officers have been injured in the line of duty as of late, many by illegal immigrants.

"What kind of message is this sending to the public?" a second cop told the New York Post. "They are basically saying anyone in a blue uniform is a human piñata."

The officer predicted that criminals' bad conduct would only escalate. "Today they bite and kick a cop and tomorrow they take a shot at cops," they said. "If there are no consequences they are only encouraging people to attack cops."

In a statement to the outlet, New York State Office of Court Administration spokesperson Al Baker refused to comment on Joseph and Gonzalez being set free, though he did note that, "in cases like these in New York, Judges have discretion in making bail decisions in accordance with the law and based solely on an individualized assessment of a defendant's risk of flight."

The incident took place shortly before 10 pm outside the Row Hotel on 8th Avenue and 45th Street near Times Square. One of the cops asked Gonzalez, who was riding his moped erratically, for his ID, and when the illegal immigrant was unable to provide any, a scuffle ensued.

A third suspect is still being sought, who allegedly assaulted the cops before fleeing the scene. Joseph and Gonzalez have been ordered to appear in court again in September.
