Trump Celebrates Execution of Notorious Gang Leader in Shocking Video
President Donald Trump unleashed a video showcasing a lethal strike that he claims obliterated Hector “Niño Guerrero” Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, the notorious head of the Tren de Aragua gang. This announcement came as the U.S. men’s national soccer team kicked off its World Cup opener against Paraguay, and UFC fighters arrived in Washington for a high-profile event.
“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,” Trump declared on Truth Social. The video displayed an aerial assault that reduced a low-lying building to rubble.

No details were provided regarding the specific location or timing of the attack.
Trump emphasized collaboration with Venezuelan authorities, stating, “This action was coordinated closely with our friends in Venezuela, with whom we are working very well.” He asserted that Tren de Aragua terrorists no longer find refuge in Venezuela or elsewhere, vowing to pursue these “vicious murderers and drug lords” relentlessly.
The White House and U.S. Southern Command have been contacted for additional details about the strike.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio was reportedly in Los Angeles watching the World Cup match when Trump made the announcement about the strike.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had previously charged Niño Guerrero with providing material support to terrorism and leading a criminal enterprise, placing him on its most wanted list.
American officials imposed sanctions against Guerrero and his top associates, linking them to drug trafficking, human smuggling, and money laundering operations.
Last year, following the announcement of federal charges, U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton labeled Niño Guerrero as the “mastermind of Tren de Aragua’s evolution from a Venezuelan prison gang into a transnational terrorist organization,” offering a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture.
