HAYS COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — More than 40 people, who law enforcement officials believe may be affiliated or connected with the Venezuelan transnational gang, Tren de Aragua (TdA), were taken into custody near a Hays County home Tuesday,
The FBI said it recently discovered information about a “possible gathering of suspected TdA members or TdA associates in Hays County,” according to a press release from the FBI San Antonio Division.
On Tuesday morning, the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Special Response Team carried out a search warrant at a Hays County residence, resulting in narcotics being seized and more than 40 people, including minors, being taken into custody, the FBI said.
The press release said potential charges would be based on the continuing investigation and evidence found during the search warrant.
The FBI said this incident is part of a years-long investigation into TdA by federal, state, and local law enforcement partners, including the FBI and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
