The president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced this Saturday the death of Héctor Guerrero Flores, alias ‘Niño Guerrero’, top leader of the Venezuelan criminal organization ‘Tren de Aragua’, during a joint military operation between the US Southern Command and the Venezuelan Armed Forces.
A year after the US classified it as a Foreign Terrorist Organization
“Under my orders, the United States Southern Command carried out a rapid and lethal kinetic attack to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren de Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty terrorist organizations on the planet,” the White House tenant clarified.
The elimination of Guerrero Flores comes almost a year after Washington classified the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in July 2025, at which time a reward of more than four million euros was also offered for information leading to its capture.
“At the beginning of my term, I fulfilled my promise to designate Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, deport thousands of evil criminals and declare war on the cartels, which have long been waging war against our citizens, while weak leaders left the United States defenseless and on the defensive,” he declared.
In this way, and although the president did not want to give more tactical details about the operation, he has emphasized that the device “has avenged” the gang’s victims and has thanked the coordination with the Caracas authorities, ensuring that both governments are “collaborating very well.”
Likewise, he has thrown a dart at the former president of the United States, Joe Biden, whom he has accused of “opening the southern border” of the country “to millions of illegal criminals”, allowing the Aragua Train to “rape, mutilate and murder American citizens with total impunity.”
