A remote state in America has seen the expansion of a violent Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua.

An alleged member of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua was arrested for felony theft in a remote state in America last month, resulting in the spread of the gang to that area.

In early November, Henry Theis, a 25-year-old suspected gang member, was arrested by local authorities in West Fargo, North Dakota, according to the Cass County Jail roster.

The gang, which gained notoriety in 2023 for holding an apartment building hostage in Aurora, Colorado, has now expanded its reach to over a dozen U.S. states.

"Congressman Troy E. Nehls, R-Texas, posted on X. He looks forward to working with President Trump to secure our border and restore safety in our communities."

North Dakota, with a population of less than 40,000, is one of the least-populated states in the country, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Over a decade ago, the source of the Tren de Aragua, or "Train from Aragua," was traced back to a Venezuelan prison.

According to KXLG, the police initially stopped Theis for not having his headlights on, but during a search of his car, they found more than $24,000 in cash that he allegedly stole from a nearby bank, along with a facemask, a latex glove, cables, and a computer keyboard.

According to the outlet, court documents revealed that this individual was a member of a hacker group that used a virus to steal money from ATMs.

Jefferson Rodriguez-Quintero and Ryber Sanchez were arrested, bringing the total theft amount to almost $100,000. The local outlet reported their names as the other individuals involved.

A Venezuelan national, suspected of being a member of the Tren de Aragua gang, was recently apprehended near President-elect Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

On Tuesday, Jeffrey Dinise, the chief patrol agent of the U.S. Border Patrol's Miami Sector, wrote on X that a Venezuelan national who was a member of the Tren de Aragua gang was arrested by U.S. Border Patrol agents.

The spread of violent crimes committed by Tren de Aragua members has been linked to the high-profile murders of nursing student Laken Riley in Georgia and 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston.

The gang is active in several states, including North Dakota, Colorado, Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin, as well as recently in Virginia, Montana, and Wyoming, according to a New York Post report that references a Homeland Security memo.
