President Trump signed an executive order designating Tren de Aragua as a terrorist organization, seeking to eliminate its presence in the US. The order empowers law enforcement to target the gang, which has been linked to criminal activity in Tennessee and other states. Senator Bill Hagerty hailed the order, stating it will enhance public safety in Tennessee.
President Donald Trump took office one week ago and one of his first actions was signing an executive order stating, 'It is the policy of the United States to ensure the total elimination of these organizations\u2019 presence in the United States.' One group specifically named in the order is the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, also known as TdA. In the fall, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) made WZTV aware that TdA has a presence in Tennessee, and there have been arrests since. Sen.
Bill Hagerty (R-Tennessee) has been in touch with the TBI about the Venezuelan gang and says this executive order can empower law enforcement. \u201cSenator Hagerty is grateful for President Trump\u2019s decisive action to empower states like Tennessee and Federal law enforcement to put Americans—not cartels—first. The damage and mayhem caused by the Biden Administration\u2019s dangerous open borders policies cannot be overstated, as Tren de Aragua and its criminal affiliates have taken advantage of Americans for the past four years. Under President Trump, their illegal presence in American cities is soon to be ended and Tennessee citizens will be safer for it.\u201d Another thing that comes with a terrorist organization designation is anyone associated with these groups could become a U.S. target. We reached out to the TBI to find out how this order impacts the agency and are still waiting to hear back
