The Venezuelan gang known as Tren De Aragua, or “TDA” for short, operates in every major Tennessee City. These cities include Knoxville, Nashville, Chattanooga, and Memphis. The warning was delivered during a State Government meeting with Tennessee Governor Bill Lee. The Governor is aware of the rising threat and signalled that there will be resources to combat the situation. Tennessee is facing a threat from the Central American gang composed mostly of “migrants”, but there are other cities experiencing a similar problem nationwide.
Famously, Aurora, Colorado, is facing a tremendous issue due to the influence of TDA. The gang has reportedly taken over as many as three apartment complexes in the Aurora area. Much of these apartments are composed of Venezuelan migrants but there are also regular American citizens living there. All of the tenants, Venezuelans included, are reportedly being extorted for cash and kept in harsh conditions due to the gang’s iron-fist style of governance.
