  • The US intelligence community believes that the Venezuelan government is "probably" not directing the gang Tren de Aragua's movements and operations inside the United States, according to a declassified assessment released on Monday that undercuts the Trump administration's key argument for invoking the Alien Enemies Act to speed up deportations.

The article from CNN dated May 6, 2025, discusses the U.S. government's response to the Tren de Aragua gang, a transnational criminal organization originating from Venezuela. The gang has been increasingly active in the U.S., prompting the Biden administration to consider using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport suspected members. This act, historically used during times of war, allows for the apprehension and deportation of individuals from countries considered hostile to the U.S. The move has sparked debate over civil liberties and the effectiveness of such measures in combating gang violence. Intelligence reports suggest that Tren de Aragua's expansion into the U.S. is part of a broader strategy to establish a foothold in North America, raising concerns about national security and public safety.
