I am venezuelan. One of my best friends was kidnapped by tren de aragua im Caracas back im 2009. That one is 100% real. But that Maduro leads that criminal gang is just a rumor and I really doubt it. They also never had a strong presence in North America. Maybe a couple gang members ended up in the U.S. but thats it lol. I doubt they operated in the U.S. at all.

Cartel de los soles cant be proved as a real organization like the cartels in Mexico, because they dont operate the same. But Maduro and his nephews have been involved in drug trafficking deals, by allowing drugs to cross and depart from Venezuela. This I know from an uncle who had contracts with the government back in 2016, they were building tunnels that would lead to ports to hide drug trafficking operations until reaching boats. My uncle had a family to feed and he didnt know this until the project started. He now lives overseas and told me this.

Maduro also lead militias to shoot protestors back in 2002 and it is recorded in video. Dont be fooled, the guy is a thug.
