Dec. 3 (UPI) -- The federal government on Wednesday issued a series of sanctions targeted at key alleged members of Venezuela's Tren de Aragua gang, which is designated a foreign terrorist organization.
The sanctions include one against well-known Venezuelan entertainer Rosita, too.
The Office of Foreign Assets Control in the U.S. Department of the Treasury said Jimena Romina Araya Navarro, who goes by "Rosita" in Venezuela, allegedly was part of a network of five individuals affiliated with the entertainment industry that supposedly provided aid to TdA.
According to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the Tren de Aragua network's narcotrafficking and human smuggling operations have "long posed a grave threat" to the United States.
