EL PASO, Texas (KFOX) — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested three undocumented immigrants from Venezuela, two of which they say are Tren de Aragua gang members.

According to ICE, on Jan. 28, agents in El Paso apprehended:

• Javier Irazabal-Rodriguez, 27.
• Jhonatan Johan Romero-Pineda, 34.
• Uzcategui-Uzcategui,27.

Out of the three arrested, ICE agents said they identified Romero-Pineda and Uzcategui-Uzcategui as "active associates" of the transnational criminal organization Tren de Aragua.

Meanwhile, Irazabal-Rodriguez was identified as a convicted criminal, previously convicted for the sexual assault of a child on May 13, 2024.

ICE said Irazabal-Rodriguez was released on an order of supervision, while Romero-Pineda and Uzcategui-Uzcategui remain in ICE custody pending removal.

These arrests come after Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that the state would create a database for suspected and confined members of Tren de Aragua.

Last year, Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw said El Paso was ground zero for the gang.

“TDA is notorious for their brutal violence and murder, kidnapping and trafficking of drugs, arms, and even humans,” Abbott said in September.

Earlier remarks from the governor revealed that more than 100 Tren de Aragua suspected members were arrested during the riots at the El Paso border when immigrants assaulted the Texas National Guard.

Abbott will meet with President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. Wednesday afternoon, according to the White House.
