Latest fact check

I was unable to reliably access some key primary-source documents from the Department of Justice (notably the detailed DOJ press release and/or the PDF of the indictment) due to technical access limitations/timeouts, even after multiple attempts and alternate entry points. While secondary summaries (e.g., from Las Cruces Digest and the Albuquerque Journal) strongly indicate that a federal indictment alleges Tren de Aragua members kidnapped, interrogated/brutally assaulted, and strangled a victim in Albuquerque on or about June 16, 2024, I cannot directly verify or quote the DOJ indictment text itself at this time.

The verdict is Tech Error because the fact-check depends on primary DOJ documents that are currently inaccessible via the tools, so I cannot definitively confirm the exact wording or scope of the indictment’s allegations, and I must recommend a follow-up when the technical access issue is resolved.
