Justice will be able to apply harsher penalties against Resistencia Ancestral Mapuche and Tren de Aragua
Compartir:
In a historic decision that reinforces its zero tolerance policy against crime, the National Government led by Javier Milei formalized the inclusion of the Resistencia Ancestral Mapuche (RAM) and the Venezuelan-origin cartel Tren de Aragua in the Public Registry of Persons and Entities linked to Acts of Terrorism and its Financing (RePET). This measure means that both organizations are formally designated as terrorist groups in the Argentine Republic.
The resolution, promoted by the Ministry of Security, grants new powers to the Security Forces and Intelligence agencies to investigate, infiltrate, and dismantle these groups. It also allows the Federal Justice to apply aggravated penalties for crimes committed in the context of terrorist actions, as stipulated by the current Anti-Terrorism Law.

From the official account of the National Security Ministry on the social network X, it was communicated: "The criminal organizations Tren de Aragua and RAM have been officially incorporated into the Public Registry of Persons and Entities linked to acts of Terrorism and its Financing (RePET). We face those who threaten security and social peace without concessions. We will not allow organized crime to advance in our country."
The measure comes at a key moment, where the government of La Libertad Avanza shows concrete results in its frontal fight against drug trafficking, internal terrorism, and the structural violence that undermined national sovereignty and citizens' security for years.
La RAM y el Tren de Aragua, oficialmente terroristas.
The RAM, a violent and secessionist group with operations in the south of the country, has been accused of multiple attacks, arson, and threats to residents, police forces, and private companies. Meanwhile, the Tren de Aragua, a transnational criminal organization originating in Venezuela, has expanded its network in Latin America with crimes including human trafficking, extortion, homicides, and drug trafficking.
