US military dynamic strike kills Tren de Aragua leader Nino Guerrero

WASHINGTON, June 13, 2026 :- United States Southern Command successfully executed a swift and lethal kinetic strike targeting Nino Guerrero, the leader of the prominent criminal and terrorist organization Tren de Aragua, under the direction of President Donald Trump.

The administration announced that the military action serves as a measure of retribution for American families impacted by crimes committed by foreign gang members, specifically mentioning victims like Jocelyn Nungaray and Laken Riley.

President Trump noted that early in his administration, the group was officially designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization as part of an ongoing campaign to deport criminal elements and combat cartels.

The precision operation was conducted in close coordination with authorities in Venezuela, signaling a collaborative effort to eliminate safe havens for the group’s members and disrupt their transnational operations.
