Venezuelan Crime Gang Tren de Aragua Linked to Arrests and Crimes in 22 States; California, Texas and Arizona among Affected States

An unknown number of dangerous Venezuelan Tren de Aragua prison gang members illegally entered the country among the 14 million border crossers documented under Biden.

Today, police records and official statements corroborate TdA-related crime and arrests in 22 U.S. states.

Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The District of Columbia has reported TdA activity.

Local police reports and official public declarations have not confirmed that TdA operates in practically all U.S. states. Law enforcement partners have received TdA identification bulletins from federal and state agencies.

TdA members were detained in Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Wyoming, according to The Center Square. Federal authorities in New Mexico apprehended Texas TdA fugitives for capital murder and aggravated kidnapping.

The Center Square revealed that Colombians and Chileans in a South American theft organization (SATG) committed residential burglaries in California. Despite social media rumors linking TdA to SATG, police have not confirmed this.

TdA members were detained for violent offenses in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Wisconsin, while Ohio police were investigating ATM theft in multiple states, The Center Square said.

TdA members were arrested in Texas and Louisiana. Authorities in Louisiana found them involved in a multi-state sex trafficking organization that smuggled women into the U.S., held them in stash houses in Louisiana, Florida, New Jersey, Texas, and Virginia, and forced them into prostitution, The Center Square said.

Gov. Greg Abbott labeled TdA a foreign terrorist group in Texas, and state and local law enforcement are conducting several operations to remove them.

In the Southeast, TdA members were charged with various felonies in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. North Carolina police arrested a TdA lieutenant and Interpol terrorism fugitive. TdA members were arrested in Tennessee for sex trafficking in various states. Tennessee’s attorney general claims federal authorities are unleashing “murderers and rapists from its migrant detention facilities onto American streets,” The Center Square reported.

TdA members were arrested in New Jersey and New York for a string of violent crimes, including a Connecticut murder. The Center Square reported many felonies and fugitives from their native nations arrested.

Some social media users confuse SATF with TdA. Some claim Michigan and Minnesota SATG robberies targeting NFL and NBA players are TdA despite no confirmed arrests.

Although TdA is strong in Colombia, Chile, and Peru, authorities have not confirmed TdA allegiance when issuing SATG announcements. Many investigations are continuing and SATG suspects are at large.
