With the presidential election just 19 days away, the Regime Media continue to suppress stories that are damaging to the Regime’s electoral prospects. Case in point, violent transnational gang Tren de Aragua’s takeover of multiple apartment complexes in San Antonio, Texas.

From the Daily Mail:

A dangerous Venezuelan gang has taken over at least four apartment complexes in San Antonio, Texas, as it expands its reach in yet another American city, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Dubbed the 'epitome of evil', Tren de Aragua (TdA) is known to run drug smuggling, child prostitution and human trafficking rings in South America, with its members crossing over into the US in recent years amid a wave of Venezuelan migrants. 

The tattooed mobsters have since unleashed a wave of crime across the country from Miami and Texas to Denver and New York. 

Imagine that. TdA has established a foothold and is running wild in yet another American city. As was the case with Aurora, Colorado, the Regime Media are nowhere to be found on this story. And they’ll remain not found until there emerges a Trump-negative angle that can be reported as the real scandal. In other words, until the story is Trumpwashed. Then, and only then can the Regime Media report on such things. As we noted when the media were finally able to Trumpwash Aurora, Colorado:

Think about it: the story is Chernobyl-level toxic to the presidential aspirations of Kamala Harris; proof evident of the current administration’s failures on border policy. Each new report would expose viewers to the idea that the Biden Administration threw open the border and allowed tens of millions of illegal migrants into the country with no vetting. 

And so it is that Tren de Aragua in Aurora, which has been the subject of significant reporting, draws Regime Media silence until such a time as there is a Trump rhetorical exaggeration of some sort that can be cited as the factual basis for “targeting” of some sort. Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez performs the Trumpwashing, with each of the now-standard elements: the local who is freaked out that her citizen reporting went viral, the migrant saying no such thing is happening, and the concerned local official. 

Who’s going to be the local official that earns themselves a ton of free media by decrying Trump’s rhetoric even as four apartment complexes are taken over by TdA? My money’s on the Kamala-endorsing local sheriff:

CHICAGO – Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar endorsed 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris during a primetime speech Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention.

In his speech, Salazar referred to former President and current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump as a “self-serving man” who does not help Texas law enforcement officials.

The sheriff only spoke for a few minutes, but Salazar made it clear that he believes Trump has worsened issues at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Salazar referenced a border security bill, which had bipartisan support, that Senate Republicans blocked back in May.

That’ll be the handy local official the media turn to once Trump says something about TdA in San Antonio. Until then, zero coverage on ABC, CBS, NBC, Univision and Telemundo.

Exit question: has Martha Raddatz popped up yet to say that it’s only a handful of apartment complexes?
