Federal agents arrested another suspected Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang member in Aurora, Colorado, Saturday morning. 

An illegal immigrant from Venezuela was charged locally with property damage and domestic violence, the Denver office for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said. 

The arrest was carried out by ICE Denver and the Denver office for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). 

The suspect will remain in ICE custody “pending a hearing before an immigration judge,” ICE Denver wrote on X. The post did not further identify the suspect.

“And very important to note, that Venezuela has agreed to receive, back into their Country, all Venezuela illegal aliens who were encamped in the U.S., including gang members of Tren de Aragua. Venezuela has further agreed to supply the transportation back,” he wrote. “We are in the process of removing record numbers of illegal aliens from all Countries, and all Countries have agreed to accept these illegal aliens back.”

ICE has been conducting operations across the United States prioritizing criminal illegal immigrants as part of Trump’s campaign pledge. 

On Friday, ICE Denver announced that its officers arrested an illegal immigrant from Mexico charged with assault and kidnapping.

The suspect was identified as 48-year-old Juan Benitez-Ortega, who unlawfully entered the United States in November 1998 “at an unknown location.” Benitez-Ortega was taken into custody on Thursday in Adams County, Colorado. 

“Officials in Adams County, charged Benitez with felony assault, kidnapping or false imprisonment on Dec. 28. Benitez also has a prior conviction for driving while ability impaired,” ICE Denver said. “ICE officers issued Ramirez an intent to reinstate a prior order of removal, and he will remain in ICE custody until his removal from the U.S.” 

As of Friday, ICE reported 864 arrests and 621 immigration retainers lodged across the country.
