Currently, Tren De Aragua has been identified as operating within 22 states in America.

President Trump and the U.S. government have classified Tren de Aragua, MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha), and cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations which now changes the strategies to disrupt, dismantle, and deplete these enemy organizations.

DEA Agent Wes Tabor has served an entire career working large scale cases against cartels and transnational gangs. His work in Guatemala led to the creation of a gang intelligence system used to track MS-13 members. He has hit the Chicago stash houses of "Choppo" Guzman, worked cases involving the direct connections between a Columbian cartel and Hezbollah, and spent years in Venezuela. His investigations while stationed in Caracas exposed narco-states in Venezuela with the Cartel De Los Soles and Tren De Aragua.

His recent book, INFILTRATE AMERICA, uncovers the rise of Tren De Aragua and other transnational gangs, their connections to terrorist organizations, and their ability to operate in America.

For The Surly Types

Terrorism expert/author Fred Burton (Beirut Rules, Chasing Shadows, Under Fire:Benghazi and more) told me I need to have FBI Special Agent F.X. Regan on the podcast. When Fred throws out a referral, I listen.

Fred and F.X.Regan crossed paths under many years of working counterterrorism. Regan shares details about his background working as a field agent with the FBI, his days with FBI SWAT in Detroit, his assignment with Counterrorism unit, the arrest of Ramzi Yousef, and more.

Regan is currently cranking out novels tackling the criminal underworld of the Washington DC area.
