Argentina arrests 12 suspects linked to Tren de Aragua gang
"It is a highly dangerous gang and today 12 of its members are in prison", Security Minister Patricia Bullrich said in a press conference in Buenos Aires.
Bullrich also said the group had carried out attacks on supermarkets, butcher shops, hardware stores using firearms and explosives and caused fatalities.
The U.S. State Department designated the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua as a global terrorist organization in February saying it posed a threat to U.S. national security, foreign policy and economic interests.
Meanwhile, Venezuelan government has maintained that the gang, with prison origins, was destroyed during raids in 2023 and no longer exists.

Trump job approval slips to 40 percent: Survey
President Trump's job approval rating fell to 40 percent, the lowest of his second term, according to a new survey. The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll, conducted over the weekend, shows Trump slipped 1 point from the survey in mid-July, when 41 percent approved of his performance in office. The president's net approval rating remains 16 points underwater, with 56 disapproving of the way Trump is handling the job. In the previous poll, his performance was 13 points underwater, with 54 percent disapproving. Trump returned to the Oval Office in January with a net positive approval rating — 47 percent approval, 41 percent disapproval — but those numbers quickly flipped and have been largely moving away from each other since. The latest poll shows 83 percent of Republicans and 3 percent of Democrats approve of Trump's handling of his post. Roughly one-third of independents also say they approve of his actions since taking office. In recent weeks, the president has continued to see his approval ratings sour. In the latest Economist/YouGov poll, Trump's net approval was 15 points underwater, also the lowest of his second term, with only 40 percent approval. Among all adults, in the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll, 38 percent approve of Trump's handling of the economy, up 3 points from the mid-July poll. On immigration, his approval also ticked up, from 41 percent in mid-July to 43 percent in the latest poll. The weekend survey concluded on Monday, July 28 and featured responses from 1,023 American adults. The margin of error was 3 percentage points.
