SHOCKING SURGE: Violent Gangs Flood US-Canada Border After Trump Inauguration
— Dozens of suspected Venezuelan Tren De Aragua (TdA) gang members have been caught at the U.S.-Canada border since President Trump took office in January. Customs and Border Protection reported 40 arrests at Detroit’s Ambassador Bridge between January 20 and March 21, 2025. The Ambassador Bridge, often confusing for drivers, has become a main spot for catching violent criminals trying to enter the country. Some Democrats, like Rep. Rashida Talib, and groups such as the ACLU claim most detainees ended up there by mistake because of GPS errors or unclear signs. CBP says there is no proof that Trump’s border policies caused these arrests. Still, a former DEA agent believes tougher crackdowns on drug rings are pushing gangs like TdA to try new routes into America. This recent spike shows how important strong border security remains as criminal groups look for any chance to slip through.
