The crackdown on the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) has extended to Tennessee, where eight members have been indicted on federal charges. The indictment alleges that the defendants conspired to transport women from South America into the United States for forced prostitution, as part of an unlawful enterprise in the Middle District of Tennessee.
TBI Director David B. Rausch emphasized the commitment to dismantling criminal organizations like TdA in Tennessee, stating that law enforcement will use all available tools to hold these violent criminals accountable and ensure the safety of communities in the state.
