The U.S. Attorney's Office joined forces with law enforcement agencies across Tennessee to announce the indictment of multiple individuals within the state with alleged ties to the Venezuelan criminal gang, Tren de Aragua (TdA). Acting U.S. Attorney Robert McGuire, alongside leaders from the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD), Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), and other federal agencies, revealed the culmination of an extensive investigation spanning both Nashville and Texas.
