As far as I'm concerned, the policies of the Trump administration and the Department of Homeland Security have not changed. All those illegally present in the country are subject to deportation. I would just like to add how we got here. The president was very clear on the campaign to the American public, and it's one of the many reasons they resoundingly re-elected him back to this office, that he was not only going to crush foreign drug cartels,

It doesn't have a short-term impact.

American forces' surgical capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, carried out in a daring raid shortly after 1 a.m. local time today, had been planned and rehearsed for months. Informants monitored the first couple's movements, more than 150 aircraft provided cover starting late last night, missile strikes on military installations knocked out air defenses, and low-flying helicopters landed Delta Force soldiers in the center of Caracas.

The president offered multiple off ramps, but was very clear throughout this process: the drug trafficking must stop, and the stolen oil must be returned to the United States. Maduro is the newest person to find out that President Trump means what he says. Kudos to our brave special operators who pulled off a truly impressive operation, Vance continued before adding another post: And PSA for everyone saying this was illegal: Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas.

Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro, allegedly captured by American forces during President Trump's ordered air assault on the South American nation early Saturday morning, will be prosecuted on a grand jury indictment handed down in Manhattan, according to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. Maduro, the socialist president who had led Venezuela with an iron fist since 2013, and his wife, Cilia Flores, were apprehended as they attempted to fly out of the country, Trump claimed on Jan. 3.

On Saturday, the U.S. conducted a "large-scale strike" against Venezuela and said that Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, had been captured and flown out of the country. Trump announced the operation on social media hours after the attack. The Venezuelan government called it an "imperialist attack" and urged citizens to take to the streets. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Maduro and Flores, would face charges after an indictment in New York.
