In a strong statement, Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s Border Czar, declared the Venezuelan prison gang, “Tren De Aragua,” as a terrorist organization, expressing concerns over their criminal activities in the United States. Arizona has not reported any drug-related investigations linked to TDA, unlike other states where the group has been associated with illegal activities like burglaries and drug trafficking. Despite this, TDA’s violent reputation raises concerns in Arizona. Law enforcement in the state mainly focuses on the influence of the Sinaloa Cartel, which controls drug trafficking routes in Arizona. The Trump administration recently deported over 200 TDA members to El Salvador. Federal agents emphasize the need to keep TDA away from the U.S. to protect public safety and prevent the gang from targeting vulnerable migrants.
