VICTOR JOECKS: Democrats Despondent over Deposing a Dictator

U.S. forces apprehended Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife on a military base, ending a pursuit tied to narco-terrorism charges and a $25 million bounty.

  • Early Saturday, U.S. military forces bombed targets, cleared a flight path, then captured Nicolás Maduro and Maduro's wife at a military base in Venezuela, with some injuries but no deaths reported.
  • The Department of Justice previously charged Maduro with narco-terrorism crimes, and then-President Joe Biden authorised a bounty for information leading to Maduro's arrest to increase international pressure.
  • The operation used limited force as officials described Nicolás Maduro as a foreign despot linked to drug traffickers now held in jail.
  • DNC Chair Ken Martin said President Donald Trump’s actions do not make America safer or stronger, while Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, clarified U.S. intent to run policy helping Americans and Venezuelans.
  • U.S. presidents have long taken limited military action without Congress’s approval, though some lawmakers argue only Congress can declare war and authorize force, Sen. Jacky Rosen wrote.
