Tren de Aragua gang member found wearing ICE tracking device
A known gangbanger from Venezuela was arrested for smuggling illegal aliens in Texas after he was released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following another smuggling bust days prior, authorities say.
On Tuesday, the Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) announced the apprehension of 24-year-old Maikel Diaz-Guerra, a confirmed Tren de Aragua gang member whose immigration status is unclear.
Diaz-Guerra was “serving as the lookout” for Gildardo Perez, 17, when a vehicle in which they were traveling was stopped in El Paso, TxDPS says.
Three illegal aliens were found concealed in the rear seat of the car.
Troopers discovered Diaz-Guerra was wearing an ICE monitoring device described as a “Tracking Watch.”
Diaz-Guerra “is a confirmed Tren de Aragua gang member and had been arrested only a few days prior for another smuggling attempt. He was just released by ICE,” TxDPS explained in a statement.

Diaz-Guerra and Perez were both arrested and charged with smuggling of persons.
On the same day, TxDPS announced the arrest of another known gangbanger during a smuggling bust in Sullivan City, TX.
Jesus Alejandro, 40, is reportedly a Paisas gang member and citizen of Mexico.
Alejandro was illegally present in the U.S. when he was caught guiding a group of illegals across the Rio Grande to a vehicle where two teens, ages 16 and 17, were waiting to transport them further into the interior, TxDPS said.
