Concern is growing in Tennessee as reports emerge of the Venezuelan gang “Tren de Aragua” resurfacing in major cities across the state.
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) Director David Rausch delivered a briefing to Governor Bill Lee, highlighting the return of this group, known for its violent criminal activities including human trafficking and confrontations with other criminal organizations.
This from hoodline.com.
As reported by WKRN, Rausch described “Tren de Aragua” as “very violent,” further elaborating that it “was created in the prisons in Venezuela.”
The gang, which was previously believed to have fled the state, has made a significant return, prompting the TBI to take action.
Rausch said in a statement obtained by WSMV:
They are back in all of our major cities.
The TBI has connected their operations to a variety of crimes, from thefts in shopping areas to direct confrontations with cartels.
“Tren de Aragua” member identification.
As Rausch clarified to Governor Lee:
The gang’s members, many of whom who had fled during an earlier crackdown by state law enforcement, are not causing violence in Tennessee more than in other states.
Rausch also underscored the degree of the gang’s violence by recounting one of their more publicized incidents caught on film.
He told WKRN:
Recently, there was a video that they shot, where they shot a cartel member 31 times in broad daylight on video and posted it to social media.
This stark example underlines the urgent need for a strategic response to this growing threat.
In response to the gang’s expanding influence, The Obiden Regime named “Tren de Aragua” a “transnational criminal organization” and put forward a $12 million reward for the arrest of its leaders.
Governor Bill Lee, as reported by FOX 17 News, said he would review the budget requests from the TBI.
Meanwhile, as he told FOX 17 News, Congressman Andy Ogles, who has been tracking the issue, shared his stance, having stated:
Every small town in America is a border town
because of the
immigration[criminal alien] crisis.
As the TBI steps up its efforts to curtail the gang’s activities, communities across Tennessee are left confronting the reality of an escalating criminal presence.
Safety and security are pitted against the backdrop of urban landscapes now over-shadowed by the specter of transnational violence.
Final thoughts: When documenting the criminal activity, We the People must not forget to include each member of the Obama-Biden crime syndicate.
God speed to the Trump-Vance team.
