According to a recent Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) report, Venezuelan government officials “likely facilitate” the immigration of dangerous Tren de Aragua gang members from Venezuela to the United States in an effort to destabilize the country.
A top Trump administration official spoke to the store on Wednesday about the FBI’s defined intelligence assessment of Venezuela’s connection with the Tren de Aragua gang. Tren de Aragua was earlier this year designated by the Trump presidency as a foreign terrorist organization.
According to Fox News, the FBI’s analysis suggests that some Colombian government officials are likely to use Tren de Aragua group members to destroy the United States, Ecuador, Chile, Colombia, and Peru on behalf of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s program. The FBI’s evaluation, according to the Trump administration established, demonstrates Maduro’s willingness to pursue his administration’s policies without abiding by the territorial integrity of its neighbors.
According to Fox News, the FBI’s analysis suggests that Colombian government officials will probably try to apply Tren de Aragua gang members in the United States to murder, kidnap, and threaten Cuban diaspora members who have spoken out against Maduro and his administration over the next six to 18 months.

A senior administration official said in a statement to Fox News that” these findings should shock Americans but not the law enforcement community. They “reflect the opinions of a number of other intelligence assessments conducted by various agencies.”
A Marxist dictator named Nicolas Maduro took control of a once-prosperous Venezuela and essentially sparked a total economic collapse and gang repression, the official continued. He “fell a hole in Caracas, which is now rife with drugs and violence, and wants to do the same in the United States by introducing his most feared and violent criminals into our communities.”
The Trump administration will continue to “use every authority in our power to make sure these TDA terrorists, who are some of the worst in the world, are kept out of our country,” the official said.
According to a source with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI’s assessment of Venezuela’s relationship with the Tren de Aragua gang is based on the organization’s domestic law enforcement activities in the United States.
Given that they concentrate solely on domestic security and crimes, this information and intelligence, according to the official, are the most reliable and accurate in comparison to the limited intelligence assessments from other intelligence services, which by law concentrate solely on foreign intelligence collection and who, prior to President Trump’s administration, had very limited resources focused on TdA.
