The Department of Justice has disclosed connections between the murder of nursing student Laken Riley in Athens, Georgia, and the Venezuelan criminal gang, Tren de Aragua, highlighting the international criminal influence extending into the United States. Diego Ibarra, the brother of Laken Riley's accused killer, Jose Ibarra, has been identified as a member of this violent gang, which boasts over 2,700 members. Diego has been involved in illegal activities, including a second illegal entry into the U.S. on April 30, 2023, during which he attempted to bite a Border Patrol agent in Texas. Court documents further reveal Diego's illegal status and his violent tendencies, including possession of a fake green card and a handgun, the latter being illegal for an undocumented immigrant in the U.S. After being released on Alternatives to Detention (ATD), Diego cut off his ankle monitor, evading authorities. This case has drawn attention to the broader issue of gang members exploiting U.S. border chaos to infiltrate the country, with the Tren de Aragua gang, known for its extensive criminal activities in Venezuela and violent incidents in the U.S., including attacks on NYPD officers in Times Square. The Ibarra brothers' connection to this gang underscores the complexities of immigration and crime, sparking discussions on border security and the enforcement of immigration laws.
