The end of "Niño Guerrero"/ US executes "head" of

US President Donald Trump announced that the US military has killed Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, known as "Niño Guerrero", the leader of the Venezuelan criminal gang Tren de Aragua, during an airstrike carried out in coordination with Venezuelan authorities.

In a statement posted on social media, Trump said the US Southern Command carried out a swift and deadly strike, eliminating the person he described as the leader of one of the most dangerous criminal organizations in the world. The US president also released footage purportedly showing the moment of the strike.

Venezuelan authorities confirmed that the operation was joint, while according to the US administration, Guerrero was wanted for a number of criminal offenses, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, money laundering and violent crimes.

Under his leadership, Tren de Aragua transformed from a prison gang in Venezuela into a transnational criminal organization with activities in several Latin American countries and beyond. The group has been accused of extortion, kidnapping, sex trafficking and contract killings.

The Trump administration has previously designated Tren de Aragua a foreign terrorist organization and has launched a series of operations against its criminal networks. Guerrero's killing is considered a significant blow to the group's leadership structure.

However, US military operations against criminal groups have sparked debate among legal experts and human rights organizations, who have raised concerns about the legality of such attacks outside US territory./ CNA
