Abstract

Chilean police conducted raids in Santiago targeting the Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang allegedly responsible for the assassination of a Venezuelan dissident on Chilean soil. The gang, linked to the Maduro regime, is accused of drug trafficking, extortion, kidnappings, and hired killings across Latin America. The crackdown on the gang in Chile aligns with President Trump's plans to designate the Tren as a foreign terrorist organization, reflecting concerns about the gang's activities in the region.
