The leader of Tren de Aragua is no more
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.
Several things are coming together here: the changes in Venezuela, and the designating of Tren de Aragua as a terrorist organization. Venezuela was active in this operation:
The strike happened earlier this week alongside Venezuelan security forces, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Friday.
He did not give a specific date, but said the strike targeted a compound housing Tren founder and leader Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, known as Niño Guerrero. …
“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,” said Gen. Francis L. Donovan, head of US Southern Command.
“Guerrero was a wanted fugitive charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with ordering, directing, and facilitating acts of terrorism and violence in the United States,” he said.
So much has been going on lately that it’s easy to forget the developments in Venezuela that began with the arrest of Maduro.
Sort of getting to be like Mossad We know where and when and can take you out whenever we feel like it. And you have no idea whatsoever that you are on our radar screen. Which must be unnerving. And whatever internal steps are taken to break any chain of following information must incur at least some reduced efficiency in operations. And afterwards, there may be a wholesale purge of possible suspects, evidence not necessarily necessary, which would reduce internal efficiency even further.
Then there’s the fussing about who’s next in charge, who kills whom in the process.
Spreading effects.

The online world can only keep a couple of things in its collective mind at one time. That doesn’t mean nothing else is going on. It’s a common refrain, “Trump isn’t getting X done because he’s distracted by Y”, as though the entire apparatus of government stands around doing nothing except waiting for his next instruction. A good reminder that this view of events is false, and it’s created by how we consume news, not by the actual events themselves.
I never hear anyone on our side of the fence talk this way about Elon Musk, for example. I never hear that a Space X booster blew up because he was distracted by a Tesla recall, or that there had to be a Tesla recall because Musk was distracted by Space X. We have no trouble with the concept that men at the heads of large organizations can set goals and directions that will be carried out by others without the need of his personal attention at every point. Why is this so hard with Trump? We knew Biden wasn’t in charge of anything and yet things happened.
The Venezuelan blogs I used to read repeatedly stated that Venezuelan Armed Forces took a service fee from drug smuggling ops. Which made sense to me.
You could trust Venezuelan security forces? 🙂
Before Maduro got taken out, US Armed Forces sunk a number of drug-running boats (and submarines?). My question: have they still been taking out drug-running boats (submarines?) after Maduro was sent to the US?
Diosdado Cabello, one of the top honchos in the Maduro & Chavez administrations, is linked to the Cartel de Soles. I have not heard about anything being done to take him away.
