"The capture of the brutal, illegitimate ruler of Venezuela is welcome news for my friends and neighbors who fled his violent, lawless, and disastrous rule, she wrote on X. However, cutting off the head of a snake is fruitless if it just regrows. She continued, Venezuelans deserve the promise of democracy and the rule of law, not a state of endless violence and spiraling disorder."
"Trump's failure to seek Congressional approval for these strikes raises serious questions about the legality of the mission, Soto posted. The Administration made multiple false promises that it would not invade Venezuela without Congressional consent. A few other Democratic representatives made similar comments — they were thrilled to see Maduro arrested, but unhappy with how Trump went about it. The president said during a Saturday morning press conference that Congress has a tendency to leak and that is why his Administration kept the operation under wraps."
Several Democratic politicians celebrated the Trump Administration's capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and welcomed it as a chance for Venezuelans to pursue democracy and the rule of law. Some connections to Venezuelan exile communities were invoked, and calls were made to seat Edmundo Gonzalez as the democratically elected president. Other Democrats criticized the operation for proceeding without Congressional notification or approval, citing legal questions and broken promises about seeking consent. The Administration defended secrecy by citing concerns about Congressional leaks. Representatives also emphasized Maduro's human rights abuses and repression of political opponents.
