US Edition'We’re Not Going to Stand for This': Multiple Protests in Portland After US Capture of Venezuelan President
The U.S. military's capture of Nicolás Maduro sparked protests in multiple cities as critics question motives and legality amid claims of drug trafficking and oil interests.
- On Jan 3, 2026, U.S. forces carried out an overnight operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, transporting them to New York Saturday evening.

- Amid critics' claims, opponents argue the operation aims to seize Venezuela's oil as President Trump said the U.S. would run Venezuela temporarily and tap its oil reserves, with U.S. oil companies investing in repairs, Merkley said.
