U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, assisted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Texas Department of Public Safety, arrested an illegally present Venezuelan national who is also a suspected member of the Tren de Aragua prison gang.
The 34-year-old male gang member was arrested on February 6 during a routine daily enforcement action.
During record checks, agents learned that he was previously convicted and sentenced for attempting to smuggle firearms out of the United States.
He will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.
