Tren De Aragua Leader Niño Guerrero was killed in a US strike, Trump said on Friday.
Trump said the actions were coordinated with leaders in Venezuela.
Trump wrote, “This action was coordinated closely with our friends in Venezuela, with whom we are working very well. As a result, 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 drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong.”
At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth. Before I returned to office, Joe Biden opened our Southern Border to millions of Illegal Criminals, and allowed this foreign army to rape, maim, and murder American Citizens with total impunity. 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. 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. This action was coordinated closely with our friends in Venezuela, with whom we are working very well. As a result, 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 drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong. GOD BLESS AMERICA! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Guerrero was charged in New York last December.
There was a $5 million reward for his arrest.
Guerrero Flores in December was charged in a New York federal court with racketeering conspiracy and other crimes that stretched for more than a decade, including supporting terrorists, according to The Associated Press. The State Department at the time was offering rewards of up to $5 million for his arrest.
Last summer, the U.S. government sanctioned Guerrero Flores and five other key Tren de Aragua leaders and affiliates, citing involvement in various criminal activities.
The Trump administration is making the world a safer place!
