‘Violent Venezuelan alien’ with possible TdA ties caught with knife during ICE takedown in San Diego: video

ICE agents seized a knife from a “violent” Venezuelan migrant suspected of gang affiliations during a tense arrest in San Diego, which was captured on video and published by federal officials on Saturday.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shared the footage on X, depicting agents restraining the suspect outside what looks like a residential building during an operation on May 29.

After taking him down, officers removed a knife from the man.

TdA is a powerful transnational criminal gang that originated in Venezuela and has rapidly spread across Latin America and into the U.S. 

Law enforcement agencies warn the group is involved in drug trafficking, extortion and smuggling operations, often targeting migrant communities.

ICE has not released the names or statuses of those arrested. 

San Diego has become a hot spot in the broader border crisis, where criminal networks increasingly exploit weak enforcement at the southern border.

ICE did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
