The Biden administration <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/news\/press-releases\/jy2459\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">labeled<\/a> Tren de Aragua a transnational criminal organization in 2024, the New York Police Department has highlighted its activity on the East Coast, and the Trump White House began the process of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/01\/designating-cartels-and-other-organizations-as-foreign-terrorist-organizations-and-specially-designated-global-terrorists\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">designating<\/a> it a foreign terrorist organization in January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Here is what we know about the gang:<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-326f3739\">A rising force out of Venezuela<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Tren de Aragua (Train of Aragua, or Aragua Train) has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/22\/nyregion\/venezuelan-gang-aragua-crimes.html\" title=\"\">roots<\/a> in Tocor\u00f3n prison in Venezuela\u2019s northern Aragua state, which the group\u2019s leaders had <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/22\/nyregion\/venezuelan-gang-aragua-crimes.html\" title=\"\">transformed into a mini-city<\/a> with a pool, restaurants and a zoo. They reportedly recorded executions and torture there to maintain control over other prisoners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As Venezuela\u2019s economy collapsed and its government under President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro became more repressive, the group began exploiting vulnerable migrants. Tren de Aragua\u2019s influence soon stretched into other parts of Latin America, and it developed into one of the region\u2019s most violent and notorious criminal organizations, focusing on sex trafficking, human smuggling and drugs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Colombian officials in 2022 accused the gang of at least 23 murders after the police began to find <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/runrun.es\/noticias\/483244\/colombia-responsabiliza-al-tren-de-aragua-de-al-menos-23-asesinatos-cometidos-este-ano-en-bogota\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">body parts<\/a> in bags.

The ring stretched across Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Florida and New Jersey, according to a complaint filed in federal court.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The group\u2019s presence in the United States was a flashpoint of the 2024 election, as Mr. Trump accused the Biden administration of letting criminals into the country. During a presidential debate, he <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/15\/us\/politics\/trump-aurora-colorado-immigration.html\" title=\"\">falsely suggested<\/a> that the gang had taken over Aurora, Colo.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-39b56ca9\">A source of stigma for migrants<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Trump administration has repeatedly described Tren de Aragua as a focus of its deportation efforts. Venezuelan migrants seeking asylum say the gang\u2019s presence and the discourse around it in the United States have created hurtful stigma and discrimination against them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAny of us who have tattoos, they think that we are Tren de Aragua,\u201d said Evelyn Velasquez, 33-year-old Venezuelan woman, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/22\/nyregion\/venezuelan-gang-aragua-crimes.html\" title=\"\">told The New York Times<\/a> in September. \u201cI\u2019ll go apply for a job and when they hear that we are Venezuelan, they turn us down.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In February, the White House press secretary said that 10 men <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/05\/us\/politics\/migrants-trump-guantanamo-prison.html\" title=\"\">detained and housed in Guant\u00e1namo Bay<\/a>, Cuba were members of Tren de Aragua.
