SUMMARY: The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has issued an urgent warning about Venezuelan gangs operating in major cities, involved in serious crimes like sex trafficking and murder. Representative Mark Green expressed outrage over the gang’s presence, particularly the violent group Trend Agra. The TBI noted that these gangs engage in human trafficking, organized retail crime, and drug trafficking, often clashing with law enforcement. The Biden Administration is responding with a $12 million reward for the gang’s leaders. The TBI urges the public to report any suspicions of human trafficking to aid in combating these criminal activities.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s director addressed the gang’s presence in the state in a video Friday.

SUMMARY: A Woodford County school bus has been transformed into a mobile classroom, featuring vibrant colors and a unique design. This “Early Learning Bus” aims to bring education to children in need across the community. After over a year of preparation, the bus is ready to roll, with plans for use during the school year on Fridays and twice a week during summer. The project was made possible through a grant and local collaboration, with a dedicated team reworking the bus to serve as a classroom on wheels. The community is excited, and the ribbon-cutting event marked the launch of the initiative.
