In an immigration enforcement operation aimed at removing the most harmful illegal immigrants from the roads, a combined federal law enforcement activity across Washington, D.C. led to the arrest of 15 suspected Tren de Aragua and MS-13 crew members.
In a two-week activity that swept the Washington urban area, U.S. Customs and Border Protection shared with the Washington Examiner violent criminal violators from two of the most terrible groups in the world.
The deportation function, which is being conducted in President Donald Trump’s garden, comes 60 times into his second term as his presidency attempts to carry out the “largest-ever” imprisonment activity, starting with the most heinous criminal illegal immigrants in the country.
Additionally, it comes just as a judge ordered the deportation of other Tren de Aragua gang members, who were also released from the country to a mega-prison in El Salvador, just as the Department of Homeland Security flew them out.
The Border Patrol’s Special Operations Group, Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s National Gang Unit, the FBI, and Homeland Security Investigations worked together to arrest 15 people in northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington.
This particular effort aimed to eradicate networks in the Washington area that were connected to gang activity and foreign terrorism. By using the southern border, Torre de Aragua specifically assists in facilitating human trafficking and trafficking.
The 15 illegal immigrants who were detained during the operation will face either immigration or criminal charges, or both.
According to CBP, CBP did not specify whether the 15 arrestees would be immediately expelled from the country without receiving due process under the Alien Enemies Act, which Trump enacted last weekend in an effort to remove Tren de Aragua members quickly.
Judge James Boasberg, the district court’s chief judge in Washington, stalled that effort as several Tren de Aragua members were taking deportation flights in the air and heading to El Salvador.

Trump and a number of House Republicans want to remove Boasberg from the Trump administration’s custody after he temporarily slowed down the deportation of Tren de Aragua members.
The transnational criminal organization first emerged in a Venezuelan prison before gaining access to the US. The gang capitalized on the Biden-era and border crisis to recruit new members and increase its presence in cities all over the country.
