SUMMARY: A confirmed member of a Venezuelan gang, Delvis Rodriguez Carmona, was arrested in Tennessee during a human trafficking bust, as reported by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI). This arrest follows another involving Luis Alejandro Ruiz Gooy in Memphis, highlighting the growing trend of Venezuelan gang activity in the U.S. Expert Wesley Tabers, a former Drug Enforcement Administration official, warns that the Trend Aragua gang is expanding rapidly, posing significant threats through violence and criminal operations. He emphasizes the need for improved tracking of individuals entering the country to combat gang activities effectively.
A confirmed member of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TDA) was arrested in Tennessee, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI). Adelvis Rodriguez-Carmona was one of four arrested in a human trafficking bust in Chattanooga. Just days earlier, FOX13 broke the news that ICE arrested another Venezuelan gang member in Memphis. Luis Alejandro Ruiz-Godoy is being held in Louisiana while he awaits deportation.
Both arrests followed the announcement earlier this month by the head of the TBI that the gang is operating in all Tennessee’s major cities. The TBI had previously announced one arrest in Middle Tennessee related to the gang.

SUMMARY: Crews worked overnight to treat roads in the area, and Megan Fee reports live from Antioch. Currently at Bakertown Road near I24 and Haywood Lane, she notes that major roads are mostly clear, with some snowy entry and exit ramps. However, secondary roads remain icy, posing challenges for drivers and pedestrians. While main roads and highways look good thanks to plowing and salting efforts, caution is advised, especially in neighborhoods where conditions are slick. Megan will continue to assess the road conditions around Antioch.
