"It took only hours for US forces to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from his heavily fortified compound in Caracas and transport him to Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center to face narco-terrorism charges. The daring mission, dubbed " Operation Absolute Resolve," saw the dictator travel across the Caribbean via helicopter, amphibious assault ship and military plane on Saturday, with a stint in Guantánamo Bay, before arriving in New York to face federal charges."
"Trump and Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said US forces were able to reach Fort Tiuna, the "heavily fortified military fortress" in Caracas where Maduro was hiding, by 1 a.m. on Saturday, Delta Force troops were then able to breach Maduro's residence inside the compound following a firefight, catching the dictator "completely by surprise," Caine added."
US forces launched a rapid operation that seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife and transported them to New York to face federal narco-terrorism charges. The mission, dubbed Operation Absolute Resolve, moved Maduro across the Caribbean by helicopter, amphibious assault ship and military plane, including a stint in Guantánamo Bay, before arrival in New York. The operation to seize Maduro began late Friday after an order to attack Venezuela and reached Fort Tiuna by 1 a.m. Delta Force troops breached Maduro's residence after a firefight, took him into custody, and evacuated him aboard the USS Iwo Jima.
