A former federal agent, who was once in charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s office in Caracas, Venezuela, has been receiving calls from police departments across the United States seeking advice on combating the escalating threat posed by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
Initially considered a minor security risk, the gang has now become a significant menace, engaging in a range of criminal activities such as kidnappings, extortion, and other crimes across the western hemisphere, particularly affecting Venezuelan migrants.
