Tren de Aragua Gang Expands Violent Operations Across the U.S.

The Venezuelan prison gang has infiltrated American cities, taking over properties and engaging in widespread criminal activities.

  • Tren de Aragua, originally a Venezuelan prison gang, has evolved into a multinational crime syndicate operating across the U.S.
  • The gang is involved in drug trafficking, human trafficking, and violent crimes, including armed robberies and murders.
  • Members of Tren de Aragua have taken over apartment complexes in cities like Aurora, Colorado, and are charging residents for 'protection'.
  • Local law enforcement efforts are hampered by sanctuary city policies, which limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
  • The gang has recruited members from within migrant shelters, further complicating efforts to curtail their activities.
