El Paso County Attorney seeks to close Gateway Hotel due to criminal activity and lack of permit.

El Paso County Attorney Christina Sanchez is seeking to shut down the Gateway Hotel, citing it as a "common nuisance" linked to extensive criminal activity, including drug use and gang involvement, particularly with the Tren de Aragua organization. The hotel has received nearly 700 police calls in two years and lacks a valid occupancy permit since 2018. A 90-day injunction has been filed to cease operations, while efforts are underway to relocate current residents.
