Border officials reveal which foreign gang they are making key 'priority' amid crimes in multiple states
Fox News
The Venezuelan street gang Tren de Aragua is causing havoc in the U.S. in states like Colorado and Texas, and officials are making the gang a priority.
Fox News Digital reported in July that officials warned that TdA had been given a "green light" to fire on or otherwise attack law enforcement in Denver, Colorado. Border Patrol officials have previously warned about the gang being a threat to communities. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

Fox previously reported that CBP had distributed intelligence bulletins to agents revealing tattoos and identifiers for the gang. TdA is said to specialize in extortion, kidnapping, murder and sex trafficking. Federal authorities have been warning that the gang is trying to establish itself in the U.S., where police are already linking it to organized crime. The FBI has also warned that the gang could team up with MS-13.
