Fox News
Members from violent gang Tren de Aragua are likely being migrated by Venezuelan officials to advance Maduro regime’s objective of undermining public safety in the U.S., Fox News Digital has learned.
Brooke Singman is a political correspondent and reporter for Fox News Digital, Fox News Channel and FOX Business.
President Donald Trump, upon taking office, designated Tren de Aragua, as well as several other migrant gangs present throughout the U.S., as a foreign terrorist organization.
Fox News Digital has learned that the FBI assesses that some Venezuelan government officials are likely using Tren de Aragua members as proxies for the Maduro regime in an effort to destabilize Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia and the United States. The official said the FBI assesses that this demonstrates Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s willingness to violate the territorial sovereignty of Venezuela’s neighbors to advance his regime’s policies.
