U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) launched a sweeping crackdown in Aurora, Colorado, on Wednesday, arresting dozens of illegal immigrant members of the violent transnational gang Tren de Aragua, which had seized multiple apartment buildings and terrorized local residents.

ICE said in a Feb. 5 post on social media that the Aurora operation targeted more than 100 members of the Tren de Aragua gang for arrest and detention.
