After the military intervention carried out by the Nicolás Maduro regime in the Tocorón prison (Aragua), several countries turned on the search alarms for Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, alias “Niño Guerrero“, leader of the Aragua Train. The theory that the criminal fled to the United States is gaining more and more strength.
According to The New York Post, the Aragua Train already has a presence in New York and established an alliance with the Mara Salvatrucha, which could mean that “Niño Guerrero” is hiding on American soil.
Meanwhile, the FBI claims to be monitoring the situation and working with local authorities to combat this criminal group, El Diario NY reported.
“Law enforcement officials say the gang’s leader, Hector Guerrero, escaped from his prison after a Venezuelan military raid last year and could be hiding in the United States,” the outlet noted.
The Maduro regime offers a reward of $250,000 dollars, since he escaped from the Tocorón prison in September 2023. While countries such as Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Colombia and Brazil have deployed entire operations to find the whereabouts of the “Warrior Boy” ».

**Interview with a Crime Expert on the Aragua Train Crisis**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today. With the recent developments surrounding Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, also known as “Niño Guerrero,” and his potential escape to the United States, what do you believe the implications of his presence could be for U.S. communities, especially considering the gang’s alleged ties with Mara Salvatrucha?
**Expert:** The situation is indeed concerning. The Aragua Train has already established itself as a formidable criminal organization, engaging in various illicit activities across multiple countries. If “Niño Guerrero” is hiding in the U.S. and collaborating with local gangs, it could exacerbate crime rates in certain neighborhoods, especially in urban areas where gang activity is already prevalent.
**Interviewer:** It sounds alarming. Given that the FBI and local authorities are reportedly monitoring the situation, do you think they are adequately prepared to tackle the complexities introduced by transnational criminal organizations like the Aragua Train?
**Expert:** While the FBI has resources and experience in dealing with organized crime, the challenge lies in the nature of these transnational networks. They are often highly adaptable and can quickly shift tactics. Coordinating efforts across borders and between agencies will be crucial if they want to curb the influence of such groups.
**Interviewer:** This raises an interesting point about international cooperation. As countries like Peru, Ecuador, and Brazil intensify their search for Guerrero, how effective do you believe their efforts will be in the long term, especially if he is indeed hiding in the U.S.?
**Expert:** It’s a complex scenario. Although these countries may have the motivation to pursue him, the reality of international law and jurisdiction can slow down their efforts. If Guerrero does establish a foothold in the U.S., without swift actions and cooperation between nations, the repercussions could be far-reaching.
**Interviewer:** Lastly, what would you say to our readers about their role in addressing issues like this? Should they be concerned about their safety?
**Expert:** Yes, readers should remain vigilant. Awareness and education about gang activity and its local implications are important. Communities can play a crucial role by working with law enforcement and advocating for programs that address the root causes of crime. The question we should all consider is: How far are we willing to go as a society to combat the infiltration of organized crime in our neighborhoods? This is a debate worth having.
