Donald Trump announced that the United States Southern Command carried out a "swift and lethal kinetic strike" that killed Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, the alleged leader of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. He said the operation was coordinated with Venezuelan security forces and shared a classified video of the strike on Truth Social.
Tren de Aragua terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere else and, under my leadership, we will find these vicious murderers and drug lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong.
Early in my Administration, I delivered on my promise to designate Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, deport thousands of evil criminals, and wage war against the Cartels, who have long been waging war against our Citizens, while weak leaders left America helpless and defensive.
During my Campaign, I pledged to expel these monsters from our Country, and bring Justice to the families of those they slaughtered, including the precious 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, 22-year-old Laken Reilly, and countless other beautiful souls. With this action, the United States Military has brought retribution for them, their families, and their loved ones.
As a result, Tren de Aragua terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere else.
At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Nino Guerrero.
The operation underscores the shared US and Venezuelan commitment to take the fight to narco-terrorists and deny them any safe haven in our hemisphere.
We extend our gratitude to the Venezuelan security forces for their support to the successful joint operation against a Tren de Aragua compound that resulted in the death of the narco-terrorist organization's leader.
There were clashes with members of these criminal structures, in which Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, alias 'Nino Guerrero', was neutralised.
