U.S. lawmakers, including Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, are urging the Biden administration to designate the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua as a transnational criminal organization. This comes amid reports of a second wave of Venezuelan gangsters, including over 100 inmates released from Venezuelan prisons since Friday, potentially entering the U.S. Described as 'killers', the gang, known for its brutality, has been involved in crimes against Americans, including attacks on the NYPD, extortion, murder, and a connection to the Laken Riley case. The gang's presence is reportedly taking root in cities across the country, with victims fleeing their home countries to escape the gang's violent intimidation tactics, only to find their presence rising in America. Lawmakers and an immigration lawyer have highlighted the gang's lack of morals and respect for human life, emphasizing the threat they pose to American communities. The gang members are armed and have been terrorizing the Venezuelan-American community in Miami.
