Venezuelan gang: Texas Governor Greg Abbott declares Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua a terrorist organisation – The Economic Times Video

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced new measures targeting the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TDA) during a news conference on Monday (September 16) in Houston, Texas. Governor Abbott said that he has ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to launch a statewide operation specifically focused on TDA. This effort will involve a collaboration between DPS, federal, and local law enforcement agencies through Texas Anti-Gang Centers. “I directed the DPS to create a new TDA strike team made of Highway Patrol officers, DPS special agents, Texas Rangers, SWAT teams including aircraft, helicopters and drones, K-9 teams and intelligence units. These strike teams will collaborate with Texas anti-gang center law enforcement officers to surge resources to areas where known or suspected TD activity is taking place,” Abbott said.
