Justice Department official vows to pursue Tren de Aragua leaders after ATM jackpotting takedown
Summary
An agency official with the United States Department of Justice said the DOJ and partners will pursue members of the Tren de Aragua gang 'wherever' they are hiding, including overseas, citing a recent ATM jackpotting takedown last month.
An agency official with the United States Department of Justice said the department and its partners will pursue members of the Tren de Aragua gang "wherever we find any one of these gangbangers to be hiding," and pledged they would be pursued both inside the United States and abroad.
The official emphasized the department's cross-border reach and cited a recent operation: "As you just saw last month with our successful takedown of the ATM jackpotting scheme led by Tren de Aragua," the official said, adding that authorities would seek to bring the group's top leaders to the United States to face justice. "We will go overseas to get them," the speaker said.
The remarks framed the department's action as follow-up to a takedown of an ATM jackpotting scheme attributed to Tren de Aragua last month. The transcript does not provide further details about the takedown, such as dates, locations, or charges filed, nor does it identify additional planned operations or timelines for extradition.
No formal motion, charge filing, or specific investigative step was announced in the transcript; the remarks are a public statement of enforcement intent by a Justice Department official.
