President Donald Trump says the newly designated terror group Tren de Aragua is waging irregular warfare on the United States. What is irregular warfare? In a recent executive order, Trump says the Venezuelan gang works in partnership with Venezuela’s Maduro regime to destabilize America.
We look at the depth of Tren de Aragua’s criminal activity, the gang's link to Nicolás Maduro, and how the Trump administration is working to defeat them. Will he be successful?
Trump made his view on this gang clear in the executive order invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Within hours, the president used this act as the basis for deporting more than 250 alleged terrorist gang members. The legal battle is playing out.
