US intel agencies say Venezuelan regime doesn't direct Tren de Aragua gang, undercutting Trump admin: report
Fox News
A consensus memo from the U.S. Intelligence Council argues that Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro's regime "probably does not" control the Tren de Aragua gang.
"While Venezuela’s permissive environment enables TDA to operate, the Maduro regime probably does not have a policy of cooperating with TDA and is not directing TDA movement to and operations in the United States," the report states.

"The IC bases this judgment on Venezuelan law enforcement actions demonstrating the regime treats TDA as a threat; an uneasy mix of cooperation and confrontation rather than top-down directives [that] characterize the regime's ties to other armed groups; and the decentralized makeup of TDA that would make such a relationship logistically challenging," the memo continues.
