Tren de Aragua is a transnational criminal organization from Venezuela. Tren de Aragua is led by Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, alias "Niño Guerrero"; he was incarcerated in Tocorón prison, which then functioned as the organization's de facto headquarters. The gang has since expanded throughout Latin America and the United States due to the Venezuelan refugee crisis, with the growth of the gang following the migration of Venezuelans to host nations. Combating the gang has become a priority for many nations where Tren de Aragua has operated. Though Tocorón prison was taken by Venezuelan security forces in 2023, the leadership escaped. The gang's activities remain ongoing.
