President Trump said the U.S. military has killed Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, the leader of the Tren de Aragua gang. Guerrero Flores also goes by the name Niño Guerrero. Trump shared video of the strike on his Truth Social account. MORE INFO Guerrero Flores was charged in a New York federal court in December with racketeering conspiracy and other crimes, including lending support to terrorists in crimes that stretched more than a decade.
U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton said at the time that the gang is responsible for countless acts of violence, extortion and drug trafficking in North America, South America and Europe. Tren de Aragua, known as TdA, originated in an infamously lawless prison in the central state of Aragua and accompanied an exodus of millions of Venezuelans, the overwhelming majority of whom were seeking better living conditions after their nation’s economy came undone last decade.
Tren de Aragua is Spanish for "the train of Aragua." The group may have gotten its name from a union of railroad workers, NPR reported. It has been labeled by the United States as a terrorist organization. LiveNOW’s Anna Marsick spoke about the strike with Seth Jones from Center for Strategic and International Studies.
