ICE agents confiscated a knife from a “violent” Venezuelan migrant with possible gang ties during a tense arrest in San Diego captured on video and released by federal officials Saturday.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shared the video on X, showing agents pinning the suspect to the ground outside what appears to be a residential building during a May 29 operation. 

After taking him down, officers removed a knife from the man.

TdA is a powerful transnational criminal gang that originated in Venezuela and has rapidly spread across Latin America and into the U.S. 

Law enforcement agencies warn the group is involved in drug trafficking, extortion and smuggling operations, often targeting migrant communities.

ICE has not released the names or statuses of those arrested. 

San Diego has become a hot spot in the broader border crisis, where criminal networks increasingly exploit weak enforcement at the southern border.

ICE did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
