Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has raised concerns about the presence of the Trenderagua gang, also known as TDA, in various U.S. cities, linking their activities to the Venezuelan criminal organization. Pompeo criticized the Biden administration, particularly Vice President Harris, for what he perceives as a failure to secure the American border, leading to the influx of potentially dangerous individuals.
Pompeo highlighted the risks associated with allowing individuals from authoritarian states like Venezuela to enter the country unchecked, emphasizing the potential security threats posed by these criminal groups. He noted that the Trenderagua gang operates differently from other well-known gangs like MS-13, lacking identifiable tattoos but still possessing significant wealth and ties to the Maduro regime.
