The Department of Justice on Tuesday announced charges against more than two dozen individuals in a nationwide crackdown against the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

"In a few days, the Justice Department and its partners on Joint Task Force Vulcan carried out a nationwide takedown of vicious Tren de Aragua terrorist networks — depraved, violent offenders who have illegally invaded our country and preyed upon American communities," acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement. "This effort underscores the Trump Administration's dedication to restoring public safety, dismantling violent firearms and drug trafficking networks, and enforcing law and order."
