US President Donald Trump announced the death of Nino Guerrero, identified as the long-time leader of the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua, in a military airstrike. The operation reportedly involved collaboration between US forces and Venezuelan authorities. Guerrero was a key figure in the gang, which is known for widespread criminal activities including drug trafficking, extortion, and violence. Details surrounding the operation remain limited, but the US government considers the removal of Guerrero a significant blow to the organization’s operations. Venezuelan officials have not yet publicly confirmed their direct involvement, though reports suggest they provided support. The strike highlights increasing US efforts to counter transnational criminal organizations operating in Latin America. This action signals a potentially new approach to combating such groups through direct military intervention.
