A new report warns that the violent gang's expansion across the U.S. will have long-term impacts, with juvenile members exploiting lenient laws.

  • The Tren de Aragua gang, originating from a Venezuelan prison, is expanding its criminal activities in the U.S., likened to a 'slow growing cancer.'
  • The gang has established a presence in multiple states, including New York, Texas, Colorado, and Georgia, often following patterns of Venezuelan migration.
  • Juvenile members of the gang are involved in a spree of robberies in New York City, often avoiding jail due to their age and lenient juvenile laws.
  • The group has been linked to over 62 robberies in New York, with members openly showcasing weapons on social media.
  • Former President Trump has announced 'Operation Aurora' to target and dismantle illegal immigrant gangs, including Tren de Aragua, if elected.
