Venezuelan Gang's Drug & Gun Bust in Tennessee
Description
Federal prosecutors in Nashville have dropped charges against five suspects linked to gun and drug trafficking, with ties to Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua or its splinter group Anti-Tren. The bust resulted from a Homeland Security task force investigation, which began in September 2025. The main supplier moving guns and drugs across Middle Tennessee and other states was targeted, leading to the seizure of 25 firearms, including 8 stolen ones, and drugs totaling 112 grams of meth, 340 grams of MDMA and ketamine, and 870 grams of cocaine. The operation highlights the threat of transnational gangs bringing violence to Tennessee. Some defendants admitted entering the country without papers, and ties to a party drug mix called Tusi were discovered. Multiple agencies collaborated on this investigation, aiming to disrupt border-crossing networks affecting Tennessee.
