Tren de Aragua

Venezuelan international gang

Tren de Aragua is a transnational organized crime syndicate from Venezuela. Tren de Aragua was led by Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, alias "Niño Guerrero", until his reported death in June 2026. He was incarcerated in Tocorón prison, which functioned at the time as the organization's de facto headquarters. The gang expanded throughout Latin America and the United States during the Venezuelan refugee crisis. Combating the gang has become a priority for many nations where Tren de Aragua operates. Though Tocorón prison was taken over by Venezuelan security forces in 2023, the leadership escaped.
