SUMMARY: The Trump administration has prioritized dismantling the Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua (TDA), considered one of the most violent criminal organizations worldwide. The Department of Justice reports over 2,700 arrests of TDA members in the U.S., including a recent incident in Aurora, Colorado, linked to shootings and kidnappings. FBI added alleged leader Giovani Vicente Mosca Serrano to its 10 Most Wanted list. Trump designated TDA as a terrorist organization to expedite deportations under a 1798 law, originally wartime legislation, whose application is now challenged in courts. The Supreme Court may soon decide on the law’s future use.

The Department of Justice has announced significant progress in its ongoing operation to dismantle the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, with 2,711 members arrested to date.
