In June, the man who ran Tren de Aragua was killed in an American airstrike.

On Thursday, the Trump administration put a price on the three men who took his place.

The State Department is offering up to $50 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction of the top three leaders of Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan prison gang the U.S. now treats as a foreign terrorist organization.

The biggest reward is for Yohan José Romero, 48, known as "Yohan Petrica." Until this week the reward on him was $4 million. It's now $20 million.

According to court documents, Romero runs the gang today. He directs its cocaine trafficking, its illegal gold mining in Venezuela and its murders. He helped build Tren de Aragua inside Venezuela's Tocorón prison, where prosecutors say the Venezuelan government let the gang control the place.

His old boss, Héctor "Niño Guerrero" Flores, ran the gang out of that prison for years. In June, President Trump announced that Guerrero had been killed in a U.S. military strike on a Tren de Aragua compound in Venezuela. The U.S. had offered $5 million for him.

Romero's reward is now four times that.

Giovanni Vicente Mosquera Serrano, 37, known as "El Viejo," is the second target. His reward went from $5 million to $15 million. He's already on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. Prosecutors say he oversees Tren de Aragua's operations in the United States, Colombia and Central America. Colombian authorities say his crews in Bogotá run extortion, drugs and killings.

The third is Juan Gabriel Rivas Núñez, 44, known as "Juancho." Nobody had offered a reward for him before. It's now $15 million. Prosecutors say he runs the gang's operations inside Venezuela.

All three are under indictment in Houston, where a federal grand jury charged them with material support for a terrorist organization and international cocaine trafficking. The case started in 2025. Prosecutors brought back a new, expanded indictment in July, and they're still adding to it.

Americans have already met this gang. Tren de Aragua crews have hit or targeted ATMs in 47 states and Washington, D.C., using malware to make the machines spit out cash. The Justice Department says the gang also deals in drug, gun and sex trafficking, kidnapping, robbery and extortion, and its members commit murder.

They didn't fly in on a tourist visa. They came across a border the last administration left wide open, and they set up in American cities while Washington pretended there was no problem.

"Their criminal enterprise has spread fear, violence, and lawlessness," Attorney General Todd Blanche said.

Blanche said the Justice Department has charged more than 350 Tren de Aragua members and associates since President Trump returned to office.

A $20 million reward does more than make a headline. Romero's lieutenants, bodyguards, drivers and girlfriends now have a reason to make a phone call. A gang that runs on fear now has to worry about its own people.

The manhunt runs from Houston to Bogotá. The FBI, the DEA, the U.S. Marshals, the Houston Police Department and the Harris County Sheriff's Office are working it alongside the Colombian National Police and Colombia's attorney general's office.
