Hegseth: U.S. Strikes Tren de Aragua Boat in the Caribbean
On Thursday night, U.S. forces carried out another strike on suspected drug traffickers in the Caribbean. This is the tenth strike since the U.S. began targeting these “narco-terrorists.”
Have you taken your place on the wall?
From the Daily Wire:
U.S. forces carried out a tenth strike on a suspected drug boat, killing six Tren de Aragua “narco-terrorists” Thursday night in the Caribbean, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said.
The “lethal kinetic strike” was the first to take place in the dead of night. It comes as the Trump administration ramps up a campaign of pressure against the Venezuelan regime over drug trafficking in the region
“The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics,” Hegseth wrote on X of the hit, which took place in international waters.

The Daily Wire notes that Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro has criticized the Trump administration for these attacks, calling them “a military attack on civilians who were not at war and were not militarily threatening any country.” He has also accused the President of seeking a regime change.
President Trump, meanwhile, has placed a $50 million bounty on Maduro. He has also, according to the Daily Wire, signed off on a “covert CIA operation in Venezuela against Maduro,” accusing him of being complicit in Tren de Aragua’s drug trafficking.
As the Trump administration works to keep America safe and ends the flow of drugs across the border, let’s pray for wisdom, strength, and boldness!

Israel the Hammer. America my Anvil.🇮🇱🇺🇸🫡
I don’t like that $50 million bounty.. Does that mean Trump wants someone to kill Madura?
Gracious Lord, thank you for the might of our armed services in all forms to keep the poison out of our country and away from our children!
Protect them, Lord and we thank you that you are sovereign!
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the work and courage that is being done to protect this nation. Please continue to give wisdom, insight and understanding in this war against illegal drugs. These are not harmless boats operated for tourism, nor fishing, etc., in the middle of the night on known trafficking routes. These are sent with ill intent which lead to addiction, destruction of families and lives. Let the money dry up for this trafficking, turn the traffickers ways to ways of true repentance. Where evil has tried to lead, let the light of Christ overcome the darkness. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except thru me.” John 14:6 Thank You Jesus! Amen.
