A declassified intelligence memo suggests that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is likely not directing the activities of the criminal gang Tren de Aragua in the United States.

A declassified memo states Venzuela's government is not orchestrating the gang's operations in the U.S., undercutting Trump's rationale for deporting migrants to El Salvador.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has a permissive approach to Tren de Aragua activities there but does not control them in the United States, a federal report concluded last month.
