OSCEOLA COUNTY, FL — Florida law enforcement assisted federal agents in the arrests of two criminal aliens over the weekend, including a suspected member of the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, a violent Venezuelan prison gang recently designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. government.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (#YourFDLE) worked alongside Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Tampa and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Miami to apprehend the suspects in Osceola and Orange counties.
