President Donald Trump announced that the leader of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, Niño Guerrero, was killed in a U.S. military strike. Trump described the action as “retribution” for the deaths of American citizens allegedly caused by gang members. The strike, coordinated with Venezuelan leaders, aimed to eliminate safe havens for the gang. Guerrero, also known as “El Innombrable,” was indicted in New York for terrorism and violence. The U.S. had offered a $5 million reward for his capture. The Trump administration has been using military force against drug cartels, a strategy that has faced criticism for potentially being illegal and involving extrajudicial killings. This story highlights the ongoing battle against international crime and the controversial methods used to combat it.
