Jan 20, 2025, 12:15 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to classify drug trafficking gangs, including the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, as terrorist organizations. This move is part of a broader initiative to deport foreign criminals from the United States. Trump specifically mentioned the Tren de Aragua, labeling it a 'wild gang', and stated that his administration would quickly regain control of U.S. territory and borders. He plans to sign an executive order on his first day in office to prioritize the elimination of foreign criminal cartels and gangs operating in the U.S. The Tren de Aragua is reported to be active in 16 states across the country. Additionally, Trump intends to deploy troops to the U.S.-Mexico border as part of this strategy.
