  • FBI internally acknowledged Tren de Aragua "green light" claim was inaccurate — In December 2024, the FBI and Army National Ground Intelligence Center held a briefing in Seattle on Tren de Aragua and distributed follow-up materials to federal and state officials. In a section on officer safety, the FBI stated that despite August 2024 reporting of a TdA "green light" on violence against US law enforcement, "it appears the order is primarily defensive in nature, rather than a directive to actively target US law enforcement." This internal acknowledgment contradicted the widely circulated July 2024 alert but was not publicly disclosed.
