The article discusses Donald Trump's executive order classifying the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization, linking it with fears around migration. This move continues a trend of using violent gangs as scapegoats to deflect attention from the U.S.'s own historical role in Latin America. Additionally, the Biden administration followed suit by labeling Tren de Aragua a transnational criminal organization. Critics argue that sensational media portrayals lack concrete evidence of Tren de Aragua's influence within the United States, highlighting the potential exaggeration of threats posed by such groups.
Trump's administration has labeled Tren de Aragua a foreign terrorist organization, citing its extraordinary violence and threat to the stability of the Western Hemisphere.
Despite the claims surrounding Tren de Aragua, there remains a lack of substantial evidence to support the idea that the gang has taken over US cities.
