CaliToday (05/11/2025): In a high-stakes operation that rips the lid off a sinister underworld, U.S. Delta Force operators assaulted a heavily fortified compound in southern Venezuela last week, liberating 12 American children who had been systematically kidnapped from U.S. soil over the last 18 months.
The surgical strike on the cartel stronghold has also exposed a stunning potential reality behind the massive U.S. naval fleet led by the supercarrier USS Gerald R. Ford—currently massing in the Caribbean. The mission now appears to have two objectives: to paralyze the narco-industry and to bring America's stolen children home.
The children, aged 8 to 16, had been missing from multiple U.S. states, with abductions spanning from March 2024 to July 2025. They had vanished from shopping malls, playgrounds, and school bus stops, leaving no trace, "as if by a masterful magician."
The "White Hat" Intel
According to a White Hat source, the CIA’s elite Special Activities Group (SOG) learned last month that American children were being held at a remote drug refinery. The facility was accessible only by a single dirt road and a landing strip large enough for two turboprop aircraft, buried deep in the dense rainforest.
How SOG penetrated the organization to gain this critical intelligence remains unknown; the clandestine nature of SOG operations prevents disclosure. However, it is rumored that both SOG and Delta have been operating inside Venezuela far longer than the administration has publicly acknowledged.
"I don't know how long Delta was there, don't know how far they were from the objective, but I know they were tasked and within striking distance when they got the green light," our source stated.
The Raid: Surgical and Silent
The Delta Force team elite soldiers from the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta—reportedly moved into Venezuela’s lawless Bolívar state late Thursday night. They established surveillance on the compound, a fortified plantation blazing with floodlights and protected by mobile patrols.
Equipped with night-vision goggles, suppressed rifles, and reportedly receiving live drone overwatch from a U.S. Navy asset in the Caribbean, the operators initiated the assault.
In less than 15 minutes, 28 guards were neutralized. One guard was reportedly struck by a .50 caliber round that "caused his spine to explode in a white spray of bone fragments."
After silencing the opposition, Delta operators located secret bunkers, finding the children held in cramped, poorly ventilated cells. They also found and destroyed 1,500 kg of packaged cocaine. This act of destruction, our source noted, later "infuriated the CIA."
Helicopters, flying just over the canopy presumably from a covert forward-operating base—extracted the team and the rescued children before the sun rose over the Orinoco Basin.
The Strategic Aftermath
"It was a surgical operation," our source stated. "No American casualties."
The children, he added, were immediately transported to a secure location for urgent medical care.
This raid reframes the entire U.S. military posture in the Caribbean. "Theoretically, the U.S. President might be delaying bombing Venezuela because he knows we have more kids there to rescue," our source speculated. "He doesn't want them to become collateral damage."
One thing is certain: What began as a war on cocaine and heroin has evolved into a multifaceted, covert program. This rescue marks the second time in a month that U.S. special forces have liberated American children from Central and South American cartels; in October, U.S. Marines rescued children from traffickers in Panama.
