The Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua made headlines last year when stories emerged alleging that its members had taken control of several apartment buildings in a Colorado suburb, extorting and terrorizing local residents.
The gang has been operating for more than a decade but has recently come under scrutiny as President Donald Trump has classified them as a state-sponsored terrorist organization with ties to Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and implemented mass deportations of their members using a 200-year-old law known as the Alien Enemies Act.
