4 Tren de Aragua members arrested trying to sneak across Texas border: Abbott

Four confirmed members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) have been caught trying to sneak illegally into the U.S. via the southern border, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has announced.

The four TdA members were among 22 suspected illegal migrants who were apprehended on New Year’s Eve by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) working in Val Verde County.

"Our top priority is the safety and security of Texans, including against the growing threat of Tren de Aragua," Abbott said in a statement.
