In an operation carried out at a camp in the city of Chihuahua, a member of the dangerous Venezuelan gang known as "Tren de Aragua" was arrested. This individual was involved in charging migrants for accommodation and protection. Agents from the National Institute of Migration (INM) attempted to detain around 150 people in the camp located in the Aeropuerto colony, but ultimately only arrested 39, including 20 men, 19 women, and 17 minors.
In this operation, municipal police, the National Guard, and the State Police also participated. Two men were identified as provocateurs who attacked security personnel, allegedly linked to the dangerous Venezuelan gang. One of them, Jesús Brito, was recognized as a member of this criminal gang thanks to cooperation with the Government of the United States.
Following the incident, the Secretary of State Public Security reported that it would be investigated whether the alleged leaders of the camp had any connection to the "Tren de Aragua". The Federal Government will have to determine the measures to be taken. The Venezuelan criminal organization, "Tren de Aragua," which originated in Venezuelan prisons, has grown to become one of the most powerful in America.
The presence of this gang has been detected in Ciudad Juárez, representing a growing security problem in Mexico, especially in Chihuahua. Members of this gang take advantage of the flow of migrants to expand their criminal networks and form alliances with other criminal organizations in the process. They are known for their extreme violence and intimidating tactics to maintain control in the areas where they operate.
