Feds Charge 27 in Major NYC Crackdown on Violent Venezuelan Gang 'Tren de Aragua'
In a historic first, federal prosecutors have charged 27 members and associates of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and its splinter group Anti-Tren in New York City.
Charges include racketeering, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, armed robbery, and firearms violations—marking the first use of federal RICO laws against this gang on U.S. soil.
Authorities say the gang smuggled women into the U.S. for prostitution, pushed a ketamine-laced street drug known as “tusi”, and terrorized NYC neighborhoods through organized violence. 21 suspects are in custody. 6 are still at large.
NYC isn’t just facing a crime wave—we’re under siege by transnational gangs emboldened by open-border policies. It’s time to take our streets back.
