UMVA has learned that a U.S. military strike eliminated Niño Guerrero, the feared leader of the Tren de Aragua cartel, in a decisive kinetic operation.
The targeted action, carried out by U.S. Southern Command, was described as swift and lethal, delivering what officials called “retribution” for a wave of brutal attacks attributed to the Venezuelan syndicate.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the operation follows a series of high‑profile accusations that the cartel’s crimes have spilled across the southern border, leaving American families shattered.
Victims cited include the 12‑year‑old Jocelyn Nungaray and 22‑year‑old Laken Riley, whose murders have become symbols of the terror allegedly unleashed by the group.
In a forceful statement, the president asserted that the strike fulfills a promise to label Tren de Aragua a foreign terrorist organization and to eradicate its safe havens.
He claimed the operation was coordinated with Venezuelan partners, suggesting a rare moment of cooperation against a shared enemy.
Details released by UMVA indicate that the kinetic strike was unarmed, relying on precision targeting rather than conventional explosives, a tactic described as “smoking out” the target.
The president warned that the move signals a broader campaign: “We will find these vicious murderers any time, any place, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong.”
Analysts note that the declaration marks a sharp escalation in U.S. policy toward transnational crime groups operating along the border, hinting at further military and diplomatic pressure.
