FBI Director Kash Patel Celebrates Major Victories: More than Two Dozen Tren de Aragua Gang Members Arrested

More than 25 Tren de Aragua gang members have been arrested and many other criminals have been brought to justice, FBI Director Kash Patel said during a weekly agency update.

Speaking at the FBI’s Wall of Honor during National Police Week, Patel highlighted the work the FBI and other agency partners have done to keep Americans safe. One of the biggest accomplishments is the arrest of over two dozen Tren de Aragua gang members as part of Joint Task Force Vulcan. As a result of that operation, they also seized “80 firearms, 18 kilos of narcotics, and more than $100,000 dollars in cash as we worked to crush this terrorist-designated organization.”

FBI Houston also “extradited Jose Enrique Martinez Flores – the highest-ranking member of Tren de Aragua ever brought to justice,” Patel said.

Individuals associated with crimes related to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have also been brought to justice. Because
