My quick view of their rise is similar to previous immigrant crime groups trajectory; if they start with a violent disposition than numerous crackdowns, internal conflicts and/or external conflicts, & forging alliances will inevitably led them to becoming a low profile group. They are mirroring the Jamaican posse of the 80s per say.
I'd say they're still nowhere near as big as the Jamaican posses were in the 80s. Those guys had big time drug rings all over the country.
This Venezuelan gang is mostly involved in theft and pimping out homeless migrant girls. They're drug dealing activities are nothing compared to what the Mexican, Dominican, Puerto Rican or even Central American gangs are moving in the States. Feds are coming down hard on them. I doubt they'll be long on the scene as a major factor.
