The Rise of Tren de Aragua in the U.S.

Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan gang, has recently extended its operations into several U.S. states, reportedly due to increased immigration and disorder at the southern border. Originating from a Venezuelan prison, the gang began collaborating with Brazilian criminal organizations and has been gradually infiltrating American communities. They are known for seizing control of properties, as evidenced by recent incidents in Colorado and Chicago where armed members occupied apartment buildings. Experts suggest this trend will likely continue, as the gang capitalizes on existing Venezuelan immigration pipelines to expand its influence across the country.
