NYC judge puts baby-faced Tren de Aragua ''asylum seeker'' in his place as 3 gun runners charged in month-long caper
[NYPOST] Three Venezuelan migrants — including a baby-faced Tren de Aragua leader — brazenly peddled illegal pistols, shotguns, rifles and ghost guns across New York City, prosecutors alleged.The accused ringleader Stefano Pachon, 21, and his two confederates shuffled into a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday to face gun trafficking conspiracy charges outlined in a 31-count indictment. Pachon, who racked up a long rap sheet since he arrived in the Big Apple from Venezuela in late 2023, sold nine different loaded guns during the months-long caper, prosecutors said. "We need more anti-gun laws!" ''The defendant has access to a seemingly endless supply of loaded guns,'' said Assistant District Attorney Yuval Simchi-Levi. ''This defendant sold the guns while out on a bench warrant.''
