ALABAMA - Venezuelan-born street gang known as Tren de Aragua continues to cause headaches for officials in the United States, as crimes tied to the organization have been featured prominently in the news over the past months.
The criminal group garnered national attention due to crimes committed mostly in Texas and Colorado. In response, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott declared Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization in September, allowing state officials to increase resources dedicated to dealing with the group, including the creation of a dedicated task force.
