U.S. Imposes Sanctions on Alleged Leader of Venezuelan Gang 'Tren de Aragua'

The U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned and indicted Giovanni Vicente Mosquera Serrano, alleged leader of Venezuela's Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang, for drug trafficking and terrorism. He's now on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list with a $3 million reward. Under Donald Trump, TDA has been labeled a foreign terrorist organization, with allegations of ties to Venezuela’s Maduro regime—claims disputed by U.S. intelligence. Trump used the Alien Enemies Act to justify fast-track deportations, sending over 200 alleged members to El Salvador. Critics argue rights violations and lack of evidence. TDA is also accused of human trafficking, drug trade, and violence.
