A recent investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raised alarms in Donald Trump's government. According to excerpts of the report revealed by a senior official of the U.S. government to Fox News Digital, the communist dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro is allegedly using the Venezuelan criminal group Tren de Aragua as an operational arm to carry out violent actions against Venezuelan opponents abroad, especially in U.S. territory.
Tren de Aragua, a criminal organization originating in Venezuela, is known for its involvement in multiple high-impact crimes, including drug trafficking, homicides, extortion, human trafficking, and smuggling. Over the past few years, the group has expanded its presence in several Latin American countries, raising concerns about its growing operational capacity and its link to the Chavista regime in Venezuela.
According to the FBI, Maduro's regime is allegedly facilitating the entry of Tren de Aragua members into the United States with the aim of undermining national security and acting directly against the exiled Venezuelan community that opposes Chavismo. The report estimates that within a period of six to eighteen months, Maduro's dictatorship could attempt to carry out an operation of intimidation, kidnapping, or even assassination of opponents abroad.

The regime's plan would not be limited to the United States. Similar actions are also being evaluated in countries like Chile, Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia, which host significant communities of Venezuelan exiles critical of the Chavista regime.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) supported the FBI's warning and emphasized that the leaders of Tren de Aragua continue to operate from Venezuela with direct support from the regime. Unlike other governments that reject and deport members of such organizations, Maduro's government carries out a protection policy. According to the report, Caracas is even willing to receive deported members back, providing them with resources and cover to continue operating.

The publication of the report coincides with a judicial offensive in the United States. The Department of Justice announced this week the filing of organized crime charges under the RICO Act against 27 alleged members of Tren de Aragua. The charges include homicide, sex trafficking, human trafficking, and drug trafficking.
These actions are part of the "Take Back America" initiative, driven by U.S. authorities to dismantle transnational criminal organizations and protect the country's communities from external threats.
