A Venezuelan national suspected of being a member of the Tren de Aragua gang has been arrested in President-elect Trump’s backyard of Palm Beach, Florida, according to a senior U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) official.
Jeffrey Dinise, the chief patrol agent of the USBP Miami Sector, announced the arrest in a social media post on Tuesday.
"U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested a Venezuelan national who was identified as a Tren de Aragua gang member," Dinise wrote on X. "He has a criminal record for assault w/ a deadly weapon. Our agents continue to keep our communities safe."
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for additional information about the arrest.
The arrest happened in Palm Beach, Florida, where Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence is located.
Researchers have traced the origins of Tren de Aragua, which translates to "Train of Aragua," to the Tocoron prison in the Aragua state of Venezuela sometime between 2013 and 2015.
The violent gang, which has been terrorizing neighborhoods across the country, is now operating in 16 states, according to a new Department of Homeland Security memo cited by the New York Post. The gang has reportedly taken advantage of a lax southern border under the Biden-Harris administration, with many of its foot soldiers swarming into unsuspecting U.S. communities.

Not very bright is he?
Attempt 3.
.
Meh ... will be let go promising to return to court.
Take him for a helo “sight seeing” flight over the ocean with the doors open for a better view

reporting for duty, SIR!
Take them 10 miles out in ocean put them all in inflatable rafts and tell them to start paddling. Equip the rafts with explosive devices that will explode if they come within a mile of North America coastline.
Give them a diplomatic passport that expires in 2 weeks. Take them Venezuela on a diplomatic flight and then confiscate the passport and leave them on the street
Shame on Fox News for the article title. Its something I would expect out of a tweeter.
The guy was captured somewhere in Palm Springs, not at Mar a lago.
Maybe that’s why they hired him
That's the strange part. Why would Border Patrol agents be providing security to Trumps property?
My guess is that SS has run out of resources and requested Border Patrol/BORTAC assistance to cover the house's grounds.
He picked the wrong day to go sight seeing in Trumps' yard.
On the other hand this guy could just be a landscaper hired by a subcontractor to cut the grass. Either way major security breach.
Jeffrey Dinise, the chief patrol agent of the USBP Miami Sector,
Why would the Chief of Miami BP Sector be in Palm Springs?
One of my hero’s.
It’s the figurative back yard not his actual backyard of his house. Bad writing either way but it gets you to look at the article which is more important than what the article says.
Take him for a free swim to the Farallon Islands off of San Francisco.
He will last about 10 min before a White Shark takes him.
I suspect far more than 3.
It’s three we’ve been told about.
Yep.
It was not, I presume, in Trump’s LITERAL back yard, correct?
Article says
“The arrest happened in Palm Beach, Florida, where Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence is located.”
Palm Springs is in California, not related to news story.
