Former High Officer in the Venezuelan Army challenges the recent report of the US intelligence community on massive Train Aragua gang present throughout the country.
Jose Aroch, who is a former Lieutenant in the Venezuela Army, told Fox News Digital that the recent Intel Community report that deprived the Time de Aragua is associated with the Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro The key aspect is missing: the animation of the socialist regime towards the United States and the tendency of the asymmetrical war.
Too de Aragua, known and simply as TDA, is a violent Venecuela gang that has terrorized US cities in recent years. The group is associated with high killings such as the murder of a nursing student in Georgia Laken Riley and the seizure of the entire apartment building in Aurora, Colorado.
As one of his first, he returns to an oval office, president Donald Trump He directed the state department for TDA to determine the “foreign terrorist organization”.

In an interview with Fox News Digital via Zoom, Aroch, a national security expert at the Safe Society Center, he said that he agreed to the Trump administration moves against the moment of de Aragua, which he believes is the “asymmetrical warfare” tool Maduro for sowing regimen in the United States and other countries in Western Hemisphere.
“The Maduro regime does not have to send troops to the US. Instead, he sends criminals,” he said. “TDA is a plow-and-play rebellion in prison, deployed abroad.”
Aroch’s statements, however, are contrary to the new public memorandum published last month by the US intelligence agency, which denied any solid connection between the Maduro Government in Caracas and Gandi.
“Although the permissive environment of Venezuela enables TDA to operate, the Maduro regime probably does not have a policy of cooperation with TDA and does not direct the TDA movement in the United States,” the report said.
The report says that the Intelligence Community has based its conclusion on the Venecuelan law implementation of the law on the Venezuelan action that shows that the regime treats TDA as a threat; an uncomfortable mix of cooperation and conflict, not the Directive from above [that] characterize the relations of the regime with other armed groups; and a decentralized makeup of TDA that would make such a relationship logistically challenging. “
In the meantime, Arocha said that “the point has disappeared here that the intelligence report is too narrow lens about TDA.”
“It’s about crime and migration, but they lack the dimensions of the war,” he said. “They miss that they are the Maduro regime, the United States the enemy, the enemy has been for years.”

“Tda is not a gang,” he continued. “This is a Venecuela’s hand of a war in the hybrid strategy of war, an asymmetrical tour of the war. It is a disappearance point. And this is a point that explains that the local gang is currently in more than 10 countries, including the United States. This is incredible, which is not possible without a state athlete behind them.”
Although the report indicates the law enforcement actions that Maduro has taken against TDA, Aroch, explained that in reality they are a Venecuelan prison, including the “Tocorón” prison in which the gang, more like a hotel resort, began.
“Tocuorón, [which] They said that the epicenter of the crime was in Venezuela, it was not a prison, it was a palace for organized crime. Complete equipment, we have zoo, nightclubs, and even a pool for prisoners there, “he said.
Arocha also claimed that the 2023 Raacius was conducted at Tocorón “seemed to be choreographed” and that the key leadership of the TDA managed to escape through a pre-made tunnel.
“While the regime gained the optics of crime breaking, TDA mobility remained intact,” Arocha told Fox News Digital.

Intel’s report acknowledged that TDA members “may have helped the Venezuelan military and political leaders of low levels.” But Aroch, the connection goes straight to the top.
He pointed to the abduction and murder of Venezuela’s political dissident Ronald Ojed in Chile, who, is, According to ReutersThe Chilean government is exploring as a possible surgery a moment de Aragua sponzed by the Maduro Government.

El Aissami has been arrested for charges of corruption and is currently in prison.
“He also has a strong influence with Iran and China and Russia. He is currently in prison, which means he lives in a palace in prison,” Arocha remarked, smiling.
“The Venezuelan regime is an intermediary of Russia, China and Iran, Especially cinemas Currently, “he continued.” They use Venezuela [to] Create chaos in Latin America, in particular … not facing directly the United States, but indirectly, using criminals, using misinformation, using every single tool they have. “

In response, Arocha called Trump’s administration to continue approaching the entire Government’s fight against TDA. He called on the administration to “increase our scope” by reaching Latin American countries with experience with TDA, like the Chilean government.
“They currently have the knowledge of TDA. We have to understand what they have learned about and we have to put together all the pieces to have a big picture instead of local,” he said. “And then I’m very sure we’ll figure out, and the main relationship is in Caracas.”
