Gov. Greg Abbott announced the arrest of four Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang members by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) nearly four months after declaring the group a foreign terrorist organization.
Texas DPS encountered 22 illegal immigrants in Val Verde County on Christmas Eve, 11 of whom were arrested for criminal trespassing; the remaining 11, including family units, were sent to the U.S. Border Patrol for processing. Out of the 11 arrested, four Venezuelan men were determined to be members of TDA after interviews with DPS and phone searches.
