DENVER (KDVR) — The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration took a suspected member of the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, into custody in the Denver area overnight.
The DEA Rocky Mountain Division posted a video of the investigation on X just before 5 a.m. Wednesday, showing several police cars outside what appears to be two residential buildings. FOX31 is working to confirm the exact location.
The DEA said the administration and local law enforcement were pursuing drug criminals, however, it's unclear the charges the suspect faces at this time. Because this investigation is in its early stages, the DEA hasn't released anything more about the suspect taken into custody, but it may release more information on Wednesday.
The DEA took two men who were “in the U.S. illegally" into custody in southeast Denver on Monday after officers seized approximately 130,000 fentanyl pills, along with other drugs. Officials said the two people arrested are part of the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels.
On Jan. 26, the DEA raided a "makeshift nightclub" associated with the Venezuelan gang in Adams County. ICE detained 49 people, of those, the DEA said 41 were living in the country illegally and many were connected to TdA.
