🚨 Today the FBI and our partners extradited the highest ranking member of Tren de Aragua (TdA) ever brought to justice - Jose Enrique Martinez Flores, aka "Chuqui.
Flores just arrived in Houston from Colombia this evening.
This is the first time ever that a TdA member has been charged with terrorism-related crimes and been extradited to the U.S. - history made pursuant to President Trump’s executive order last summer designating Tren de Aragua as an FTO.
Flores is charged with providing material support to TdA, a designated foreign terrorist organization, as well as with international drug distribution conspiracy. He is scheduled to make his federal court appearance Friday morning.
Well done
@FBIHouston and our partners at
@TheJusticeDept @DAGToddBlanche. Outstanding work.
