U.S. Strikes Kill Venezuelan Gang Leader

About this episode

The episode discusses the U.S. military strike that killed Venezuelan gang leader Héctor Guerrero, highlighting its implications in the war on cartels.

Venezuelan gang leader Héctor Guerrero, head of the terror-linked Tren de Aragua, was killed in a U.S. military strike — a bold move President Trump hailed as part of his war on cartels, coordinated with Venezuela. The operation, targeting a gang compound, follows years of U.S. sanctions and a $5 million bounty on Guerrero, who faced multiple indictments for drug trafficking, weapons, and terrorism — including charges tied to Venezuela’s President Maduro. Trump framed the strike as a necessary response to weak leadership and a fulfillment of his promise to dismantle transnational criminal networks.
