In an unprecedented move, the Justice Department has announced the indictment of a leader of the violent Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, who will face terrorism and international drug distribution charges.
This is the first time the DOJ has brought terrorism charges against a member of the newly designated foreign terrorist organization.
FBI Director Kash Patel called the first-of-its-kind terrorism indictment ‘a critical step in dismantling their network and holding its members accountable.’
Enrique Martinez Flores, 24, a reportedly high-ranking member of TdA who goes by the name ‘Chiqui.’
He is charged with conspiring to provide, and providing, material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, conspiracy, and cocaine distribution.
Jose Enrique Martinez Flores was arrested last month by Colombian authorities at the request of the United States.
As reported by FOX News:
“TdA is not a street gang—it is a highly structured terrorist organization that put down roots in our country during the prior administration,” Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News Digital. “Today’s charges represent an inflection point in how this Department of Justice will prosecute and ultimately dismantle this evil organization, which has destroyed American families and poisoned our communities.”
FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News Digital that Tren de Aragua is a “violent arm of the Maduro regime operating inside our borders.”
“With these charges, we are using every available tool to confront them as the transnational threat they are,” Patel told Fox News Digital. “From drug trafficking and human smuggling to brutal violence, this group has inflicted chaos on American communities.”
Patel added: “Today’s indictment is a critical step in dismantling their network and holding its members accountable.”

What his name?
So what does that mean these days? He has to file for “dew process” and some other crap?
Wow, we got the cooperation of Colombia. That is something.
This should get the Bondi and Petel haters fired up.
Sounds good to me. A great positive development.
Yes, it’s a meme here on Free Republic, that we are told by Freepers we are supposed to hate Pam Bondi.
I wish we had polls or surveys here. It would be interesting to know how many people here really dislike her, or if just a few malcontents post here over and over.
It’s always a few malcontents...who mistake an echo chamber for being correct.
Please a televised trial-—EVEN pay per view.
I would think Judge Boasberg has an Honorary Chair in TdA.
People making thoughtful comments are one thing but the kneejerk negative quips are getting old.
The national media and all these district judges? Fire away!! lol they deserve it.
Maybe time for this AG to use this court ? 3 Pres. Bush judges. 2 seats are vacant...Be nice if Roberts fills the 2 vacancies with judges that would...er, um, partial ?
The United States Alien Terrorist Removal Court is a special court established in 1996 to determine whether non-citizens should be deported on terrorism grounds. However, it has never conducted any proceedings as it has not received any applications for removal from the Attorney General.

James Boasberg was a member of this court. I always wondered why he didn’t refer his cases to the Terrorism Court.
The USSC I am hopeful will come up large and rein in these rogue judges.
Good for Bondi. She’s been bombarded by enemy combatant leftist judges amounting to a shxtload of work.
I didn’t catch it all but...earlier today Trump seemed to be saying something about a way to get deportations speeded up.
Maybe this Court you speak of is the way.
I can hear the screeching from my house
tda have started getting boasburg tattoos
hey meme makers
how about gang members with boasburg and van hollen tattoos?
I hope they have all their ducks in a row on this, and haven’t gotten too far over their skis.
They’ve been rushing things lately, and this kind of thing needs to stick.
Bondi! You know what you are! You’re a son of a [wah-a-wah-a-waaaaaah]
