Tren de Aragua, a criminal gang from Venezuela that is said to be as serious a threat as Salvadoran gang MS-13, is quietly operating across the country.
and has been able to push members into the United States and beef up its presence in cities nationwide where law enforcement and elected officials are gravely concerned about the type of violence they are seeing, particularly after one murder that has been in the spotlight.
Sen. Marco Rubio , who represents a state with one of the highest Venezuelan populations in the country, said in an interview that the gang has “wreaked havoc” across Central and South America and now threatens to do the same in the U.S. U.S. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens has confirmed the gang’s many attempts to enter the U.S. and attempted to sound the alarm through posts on social media that began late last year.
In one weekend last month, Border Patrol agents stationed in Texas caught 10 Tren de Aragua members attempting to enter the country from Mexico, according to Owens.
