Federal authorities have detained over 2,700 suspected members of Tren de Aragua (TdA), the infamous Venezuelan gang that has become emblematic of the Trump administration’s intensified efforts against illegal immigration and its mass deportation strategy, since President Donald Trump assumed office, officials announced on Friday.
During a White House press briefing, Attorney General Pam Bondi highlighted these arrests when queried about whether an undocumented infant would be treated as a priority for immigration enforcement.

The Trump administration has designated the gang as a terrorist organization, which Trump has used to allow the speedy deportation of its members under the Alien Enemies Act, which has been challenged in the courts.
“You should all feel safer now that President Trump can deport all of these gangs and not one district court judge can think that they’re emperor over this administration and his executive powers,” she said Trump standing nearby.
Unknown in the United States until recent years, TdA has been involved in several high-profile crimes and terrorizing a Colorado apartment complex.
