An anonymous federal law enforcement official told DailyMail.com, “You have to realize that this Anti-Tren movement is not originally from the United States—this is a South American thing.”
This is Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, and Chile. That’s actually where it’s coming from.
After beginning in Venezuela, TdA spread throughout South America in search of new cash streams and to follow other Venezuelans escaping the dictatorship of Nicolas Maduro.
“Anti-Tren isn’t always a group.” The street gangs that make up Anti-Tren are fierce competitors. The federal official clarified, “They despise Tren de Aragua, but Anti-Tren is sort of the umbrella.”
“Los Orientals” is the name of one of the groups. Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, and some parts of Chile are home to them. There’s a very big presence down there.’
