About this episode

The episode discusses the U.S. strike that killed the leader of a Venezuelan terrorist gang linked to narcoterrorism.

Trump’s administration launched a deadly strike in Venezuela, eliminating Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores — the alleged leader of the Tren de Aragua, a U.S.-designated terrorist gang linked to violence across South America. Once a prison-born cartel that evolved into a self-contained city with a zoo and casino, the group has expanded globally and evaded capture for years — until now. With a $5 million bounty on his head and federal charges pending in New York, Flores was reportedly killed in a swift U.S.-led operation, underscoring Washington’s renewed war on narcoterrorism and aligning with Trump’s hardline immigration and crime agenda.
