Washington arrested the suspect in Memphis on Nov. 19. 'Tren de Aragua has emerged as a significant threat to the United States as it infiltrates migration flows from Venezuela,' INTERPOL Washington Acting Director Jeffrey A. Grimming said in a Dec. 3 statement.
Canyon County, Idaho Sheriff Kieran Donahue told a reporter in September that he had received intelligence 'regarding TdA traveling across Idaho to commit crimes.' 'Thankfully, to my knowledge, there have been no confirmed reports of TdA activity in Canyon County or elsewhere in the Treasure Valley. That said, I believe that TdA is a very dangerous gang, and national reports show they are growing rapidly, so it stands to reason we will eventually see them in Idaho,' Donahue said.
