Venezuelan prison gang has infiltrated American communities, attacked police officers and engaged in human trafficking
EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – The State Department on Thursday offered a $12 million reward for information leading to the capture of three leaders of the Venezuela-based Tren de Aragua gang.
Simultaneously, the Treasury Department designated Tren de Aragua as a transnational criminal organization, a move that allowed the federal government to seize the gang’s assets in the United States.
Tren de Aragua members posing as legitimate asylum-seekers have been apprehended after committing various criminal acts in the United States, including murder, while on immigration parole.
Federal and state officials also suspect Tren de Aragua is behind a multistate human trafficking ring, the killing of a former police officer in South Florida, and attacks against police in New York, national news organizations report.
