BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
Tren de Aragua (TdA) is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization with thousands of members, many of whom have unlawfully infiltrated the United States and are conducting irregular warfare and undertaking hostile actions against the United States. TdA operates in conjunction with Cártel de los Soles, the Nicolas Maduro regime-sponsored, narco-terrorism enterprise based in Venezuela, and commits brutal crimes, including murders, kidnappings, extortions, and human, drug, and weapons trafficking. TdA has engaged in and continues to engage in mass illegal migration to the United States to further its objectives of harming United States citizens, undermining public safety, and supporting the Maduro regime’s goal of destabilizing democratic nations in the Americas, including the United States.
TdA is closely aligned with, and indeed has infiltrated, the Maduro regime, including its military and law enforcement apparatus. TdA grew significantly while Tareck El Aissami served as governor of Aragua between 2012 and 2017. In 2017, El Aissami was appointed as Vice President of Venezuela. Soon thereafter, the United States Department of the Treasury designated El Aissami as a Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act, 21 U.S.C. 1901 et seq. El Aissami is currently a United States fugitive facing charges arising from his violations of United States sanctions triggered by his Department of the Treasury designation.
Like El Aissami, Nicolas Maduro, who claims to act as Venezuela’s President and asserts control over the security forces and other authorities in Venezuela, also maintains close ties to regime-sponsored narco-terrorists. Maduro leads the regime-sponsored enterprise Cártel de los Soles, which coordinates with and relies on TdA and other organizations to carry out its objective of using illegal narcotics as a weapon to “flood” the United States. In 2020, Maduro and other regime members were charged with narcoterrorism and other crimes in connection with this plot against America.
Over the years, Venezuelan national and local authorities have ceded ever-greater control over their territories to transnational criminal organizations, including TdA. The result is a hybrid criminal state that is perpetrating an invasion of and predatory incursion into the United States, and which poses a substantial danger to the United States. Indeed, in December 2024, INTERPOL Washington confirmed: “Tren de Aragua has emerged as a significant threat to the United States as it infiltrates migration flows from Venezuela.” Evidence irrefutably demonstrates that TdA has invaded the United States and continues to invade, attempt to invade, and threaten to invade the country; perpetrated irregular warfare within the country; and used drug trafficking as a weapon against our citizens.
Based upon a review of TdA’s activities, and in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury, on February 20, 2025, acting pursuant to the authority in 8 U.S.C. 1189, the Secretary of State designated TdA as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
Notorious FISA / Ray Epps / J6 / Trump Judge ‘Preemptively’ Blocks Admin From Deporting Alleged Tren de Aragua Members The judicial coup continues, they will not stop.
Tom, I’d be amazed if you actually spent half as much time as you do seeking BAD NEWS and use it to find and actually POST a Success (ever so small) by Trumps team.
It’s not bad news, it’s just the truth. If Trump doesn’t address this judicial activism, his administration will be marginalized for four years.
David, could you please point out when and where Tom Finley ever posted a positive report of a Trump success.
That sir was the point of the comment.
Addressing judicial activism is something far beyond my knowledge base.
As I try not to be an “internet expert” on everything I choose not to comment on things I know little about.
But that said I do find a few success stories every day showing where Trump’s actions are making the Democrats and RINO’s crazy. That they are fighting means He’s doing something right.
You know that saying of your David “If your drawing fire you’re over the target”.
The truth hurts, eh Michael ?
I’m not feeling pain, sir.
I’m kind of proud to know what Eastwood said so well “A man gotta know his limitations”.
Anybody with a keyboard can drop snarky crap and flee.
Maybe you don’t know any limits in your “knowledge base”?
Are YOU an expert on Judicial Overreach and Activism from the bench?
Or just a snarky keyboarder?
And you talk about snarky comments, give me a break, that is pretty funny.
If you spent less time attacking the people commenting here, you would be better off. I like what President Trump is doing so far, especially with DOGE, in my opinion he picked another weak AG, she is no friend of the second amendment. President Trump is pretty much alone with trying to rid the government of the commie rats. Pam Bondi should have already been indicting the criminals, there is no shortage of evidence.
Well, THANK YOU Tom! You actually said something supportive of Trump.
So given your rather strong opinions about everything…
When are you going to apply for Bondi’s job? You sure can comment about the situation.
Do YOU have any real legal training so you might become part of Trumps team?
In other words Tommy:
Maybe you don’t know any limits in your “knowledge base”?
Are YOU an expert on Judicial Overreach and Activism from the bench?
I think most people here are pretty tired of your snarky remarks. Scroll down to my comment about judicial over reach by Gateway Pundit.
Well, they must be thrilled you’ve appointed yourself their spokesperson.
And I see as usual you fail to address the questions.
Guess you don’t subscribe to Clint Eastwoods knowing your limits meme.
Good start. Now use this EO to actually get rid of these thugs…by any means necessary.
Exactly ! I won’t hold my breath waiting for actual ACTION !
Now name antifa and blm as terrorist organizations as well.
A Feral DC Judge ordered a Deportation plane with these very same Terrorists to return to America with the terrorists.
Label it what you will, but Judicial Tyranny comes to my mind.
Seems to me this is judicial mutiny. Sedition. A federal crime.
Absolutely Delta3TWO.
Have you ever heard the saying “Don’t interrupt your enemy when he’s doing a stupid thing”?
The success story is only partly that Trumps DOING Something deporting gang members.
The REAL success is the Blob-Democrats, RINOs and others FIGHTING This is looking like Stupid Asses in the eyes of Joe 6 pack.
THEY WANT Trump to show Joe 6 Pack he’s a Tyrant, Dictator a “Hitler” trampling over the Constitution and RULE OF LAW (like they ever bothered about that, eh?).
THAT’S all the AMMO they have left to sway Joe 6 pack.
I’ve noticed talking to my “Yellow Dog Democrat” neighbors (She is, He’s a bit saner) something odd recently. They stopped bashing Trump and are embarrassed by the “Squad” and such.
They used to BRAG LOUDLY about who they were voting for and WHY Trump is such an asshole (Sorry David for the curses). Massive political signs and door to door activism
This election not even a Harris Sign. No door visits. They didn’t even try to rub it in that they VOTED against Trump.
Actually, no comments IF they voted at all from Her, He quietly told me HE Voted FOR Trump because Harris was insane.
Once semi-radical Never Trumpers in our state government Democrats is quietly staying OUT of the Louder Radicals support group.
They SEE that Joe 6 pack is more than annoyed with them and they are going “Moderate” even more moderate than some Never Trump RINOS.
They are getting worried about getting re-elected. I STILL WANT LEGAL TERM LIMITS. Not a career.
There is some evidence of a “Sea Change” around here.
1 Timothy 2:1-2 – “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”
Activist Judges and the Overreach of Judicial Authority: A Case for Sedition and Treason | The Gateway Pundit | by Guest Contributor They need to be stopped, where is Pam Bondi?
This marxist street fight and #47’s Marquis de Queensbury defense ain’t cutting it. However; a catch-22 it is. Follow “law and democracy” as practiced by the last 50 year appointees in black robes and it’s a loss. Ignore, become dictatorial and adhere to the simple language of the constitution and the left has their boogeyman and “legal” justification for continued destruction. I for one am getting impatient with the theater. Prosecution, incarceration and restitution must be publicly broadcast 24X7. This iteration is for all the marbles. Action, action, action…
Letters of Marque, when?
Letters of Marque can only be issued by Congress. I doubt seriously those poltroons would do such a thing.
