Tren de Aragua gang now in DC: The violent Venezuelan gang known for human trafficking and drugs has established a foothold in the DC Metro area. Tren de Aragua, or TDA, is in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, according to a memo from the Department of Homeland Security. The memo notes that it is "highly probable" that TDA will seek more control in the region. TDA has been aggressively setting up shop in major cities across America. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) recently reported that TDA has been engaging in human trafficking in the state's four largest cities, Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga. TBI Director David Rausch reported that TDA members "shot a cartel member 31 times, broad daylight on video and posted it to social media." The growing presence of TDA in the U.S. will likely lead to escalating violence with rival gangs, especially the notorious Salvadoran gang MS-13. This is what failure to secure our southern border has gotten us.
