In Dallas, the Venezuelan neighborhood known as 'Villa Dallas' has descended into mayhem. For months, once peaceful apartment complexes have been the scene of illegal street races, beatings, shootings and extortion attempts.
Residents, overwhelmingly migrants who recently made the harrowing trek through several countries to reach America and are seeking asylum, pointed to videos of fights between armed men, broken windows and reckless drivers speeding through parking lots.
One disturbing clip shows a man with a shirt over his head wailed on by several men. The man appears to be unconscious until he moves his arm and is then kicked in the head.
Meanwhile, a car's tires can be heard screeching in the background as shots are fired into the air.
Residents of Villa Dallas tell the DailyMail.com it's common to walk up to car after car with shattered car windows after a night of chaos by gangsters
Don't kill him,' says a by stander.
The person who posted the video to Instagram identified local gangsters who he says are behind the bedlam.
'The most popular nicknames are Aron, El Pibe and Chito-- three alleged mini criminal gang leaders who face each other to keep control of the area,' @elperijanero2020 claims.
But there's nothing 'mini' about these criminals, explained immigration attorney Rolando Vazquez.
'A lot of these people are criminals from the (Nicholas) Maduro regime,' the Miami lawyer stated.
'Some are ex-security forces. They are professional criminals or part of criminal organizations.'
At least 334,914 Venezuelan citizens have crossed into the US in fiscal year 2023, according to US Customs and Border Protection statistics.
In the month of September alone, 72,352 Venezuelans were encountered at US international crossings-- making citizens from the South American country the largest nationality arrested for illegally entering the US. For the first time ever, Mexicans citizens were replaced as the top nationality along the border.
