Trump: US Airstrike Kills ‘Niño’ Guerrero, Leader of Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua

President Trump announced that US Southern Command carried out a precision airstrike to eliminate Héctor Rusthenford “Niño” Guerrero Flores, the head of Tren de Aragua. Under Guerrero’s leadership, the gang evolved from a prison faction into one of Latin America’s most feared criminal networks. It expanded operations across Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile, engaging in extortion, human trafficking, contract killings and kidnappings. Trump shared footage of the strike on a green-roofed compound, noting close coordination with Venezuelan partners. The US had previously designated Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization.
