Tren de Aragua Gang Under Investigation for Over 100 Crimes in the U.S.

U.S. law enforcement faces challenges in identifying and prosecuting members of the violent Venezuelan gang.

The Tren de Aragua gang is linked to shootings, sex trafficking, and other crimes across multiple U.S. states.
Venezuelan authorities do not share criminal records, complicating U.S. efforts to vet migrants.
Gang members often misrepresent their identities, making them hard to track.
Over 330,000 Venezuelans crossed the U.S. border in 2023, with many gang members among them.
Local and federal law enforcement have launched numerous investigations into the gang's activities.
