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.
