President Trump's claims that the gang Tren de Aragua operates under the Venezuelan government's direction are contradicted by American intelligence agencies. A recent assessment by the C.I.A. and N.S.A. indicated that the gang is not controlled by the Venezuelan government, which raises questions about the justification for Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport suspected members. While the F.B.I. offered some dissent regarding the gang's connection to the Maduro administration, the overall consensus was that Trump's basis for action lacks credibility based on available intelligence.
President Trump's assertion that a gang is committing crimes in the United States at the direction of Venezuela's government was critical to his invocation of a wartime law.
The intelligence community concluded that the gang, Tren de Aragua, is not directed by Venezuela's government or committing crimes in the United States on its orders.
