Emerging Venezuelan gang ‘more violent’ than Tren de Aragua targeting rural America, expert warns

  • Federal prosecutors unveiled an April indictment charging 21 individuals connected to Venezuela’s Anti-Tren gang with operating narcotics and sex trafficking operations throughout New York City.
  • Anti-Tren formed from former Tren de Aragua members and emerged amid reports of violent criminal activity and competition with the original gang.
  • The gang secures power and territory through violence and intimidation, including threats against rival members and smuggling young Venezuelan women and drugs.
  • Robert Charles, former U.S. assistant secretary of state, noted that the offshoot gang aims to set itself apart through increased violence and focuses on rural areas in the U.S. to enhance its criminal operations.
  • Authorities warn that without swift intervention, Anti-Tren’s influence, especially in rural areas like Maine, could grow and lead to increased violence and territorial conflicts.
