State prosecutors have charged two more migrants as part of an investigation into the trafficking of narcotics and firearms into Chicago by suspected members of the Venezuela-based Tren de Aragua street gang. The men are the fourth and fifth individuals known to be charged in the case.

Judge Luciano Panici Jr. ordered Yefferson Camacho Cedeno, 27, and Jose Vasquez Hernandez, 30, detained, calling them “member[s] of a transnational criminal organization.”

Camacho Cedeno is a Venezuelan citizen who is “not a legal resident of the United States.” He is charged with two counts of gunrunning and six additional charges tied to illegal gun sales.

Police valued the first Tusi delivery at more than $15,243 and the second at more than $16,500, though court filings note the group sold the drugs to investigators for a fraction of their street price.

Darman said Godoy and Gorrin are Venezuelan citizens who are not legal U.S. residents.
