from WND:
Violent criminals linked to government in Venezuela
The gang of violent Venezuelans known as Tren de Aragua actually is worse than that sounds, according to a new report.
Because the gang now has been linked to the Venezuelan government.
It is the Washington Stand that reported according to a Federal Bureau of Investigation study, “Venezuela’s socialist president Nicolás Maduro and his deputies are using criminals from the Tren de Aragua (TdA) transnational gang as ‘proxies’ to ‘destabilize’ foreign nations, including Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and the U.S.”

The report said, “The FBI anticipates that TdA members the Venezuelan government has sent to the U.S. will, within the next six to 18 months, begin targeting and killing other Venezuelan nationals who have been opponents or critics of Maduro’s administration.”
President Donald Trump several times has charged that the Venezuelan government is weaponizing criminals in dangerous gangs and sending foreign terrorists into the U.S.
“These findings should shock Americans but not the law enforcement community,” a Trump administration official who was not identified, told Fox News.
“They reflect the sentiments of numerous other intelligence assessments across multiple agencies.”
That official explained Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro “is a Marxist dictator who hijacked a once-prosperous Venezuela and brought in nothing but total economic collapse and gang takeover. He crumbled Caracas, now overrun with drugs and violence, and wants to do the same across the United States by sending his most violent and dangerous criminals into our communities.”
The Trump administration has worked to utilize several laws to crack down on the illegal access to the United States by the gang members, and to deport those who have arrived.
The fact that the Venezuelan government is “aiding and abetting” the terror gang was confirmed, in the report, by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
An official in the ODNI assessed that the links between the terrorists and the government there mirror “the behavior of the Taliban in Afghanistan and other Middle Eastern failed states like Syria and Libya that have welcomed terrorists with open arms.”
While a National Intelligence Council report accessed by the AP claimed there’s no link, one expert suggested that was incorrect, based on “leakers.”
