NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: "The U.S. Attorney's Office joined law enforcement agencies in Tennessee in announcing the indictment of multiple people in the state with ties to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. The agencies announced Tuesday a multi-count, multi-defendant indictment involving persons tied to TdA as it pertains to human trafficking and commercial sex. Officials stated women in Venezuela were recruited by the promise of a better life in the United States and then threatened and forced into performing sex acts to gain their freedom. Two of the eight indicted, Yilibeth Rivero Decaldera and Kleiver Daniel Mota Rivero, are allegedly tied to TdA.

"The trafficking of human beings is abhorrent to all of us, it's modern-day form of slavery," MNPD Chief John Drake said. "I want to be very clear, our police department will always make human trafficking an investigative priority regardless of where the suspects are from and will work with our partners for an intentional and coordinated law enforcement response."
