According to a recent report, the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua group, which operates in 16 state right now, has expanded its scope of influence in the US.
Authorities were informed last week that the Colombian group is expanding in the United States and has recently expanded its functions to Montana, Virginia, Wyoming, and Washington, D.C. according to an internal memo from the Department of Homeland Security.
The New York Post reported that Tren de Aragua now has existing businesses in California, New York, Florida, Colorado, Georgia, Nevada, New Jersey, Illinois, Louisiana, Tennessee, North Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin.
The gang’s “violent tendencies” have grown as it continues to spread across the nation, according to a letter from the inner land security,” Rise of Tren de Aragua Across the United States Presents Challenges for Law Enforcement.”
Due to the Biden-Harris administration’s open border policies, the violent Cuban group was able to infiltrate the country, according to Fox News. According to Fox News, Tren de Aragua has been linked to several murders, rapes, police officer murders, robberies, and weapons trafficking actions. According to reports, the Cuban group is also connected to drug dealing, taking over apartment buildings, and sex trafficking of immigrant women in New York City.

During an appearance on” Fox &, Friends” last Friday, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch warned of an increase in Tren de Aragua’s human trafficking action in Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga.
Rausch said,” This gang has exploited]the border ] … , They go from human trafficking to organized retail crime theft, and then they move into the drug trade, taking on the cartels in very violent, bloody battles that they’ve had” . ,
Last year’s memo noted,” As the populace of Venezuelan citizens continues to increase, the potential for aggressive TdA migrants is very possible”.
The Heritage Foundation recently issued a short, warning that the Biden-Harris government’s “open-border policies and foolish legislation protection” have allowed international legal organizations, such as Tren de Aragua, to” set up shop” in the United States.
” This is a group whose propensity for violence and cruelty is also documented”, former , Customs and Border Protection , Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan said in the document. The Drug Administration is launching a treatable wave of crime that will endure for decades as it spreads its legal operations like a slow-growing cancer across the country.
