SUMMARY: Tennessee law enforcement, in collaboration with authorities in Chattanooga, arrested four individuals connected to an illegal sex trafficking operation in Hamilton County. Charges include prostitution, drug possession, and weapon offenses. One suspect, Adelvis Rodriguez-Carmona , is linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which operates across major cities. The gang is difficult to track due to its members’ frequent movement. Rodriguez Carmona is also suspected of violent crimes in Chicago and New York City. Despite outreach to law enforcement across East Tennessee, many counties were unaware of the gang’s presence in their areas.

The TBI said Adelvis Rodriguez-Carmona is a “known member of Tren de Aragua,” and is suspected of violent crimes in Chicago and New York City.
