Now designated as a Terrorist Group, Tren de Aragua is a Transnational Gang with a presence in all 50 states.

Tren de Aragua gang members have committed multiple acts of violence and other crimes across the United

States, including shooting police officers. Just some of their crimes and violence have made the news in Chicago,

NYC, Florida, El Paso, and Georgia. The most shocking of their crimes occurred in Athens, Georgia, this year when a

University of Augusta nursing student, Lakin Riley, was brutally murdered by a Tyren de Aragua gang member. Since

then, their terror, crimes, and violence have increasingly targeted communities across the US. This course will expose

their signs, symbols, crimes, violence, and where they are in the US.
