"I'm committed to stopping the flow of illegal drugs and standing up to illegitimate dictators like Maduro, but President Trump has made a unilateral decision to initiate regime change, deploy American troops on the ground, and seemingly take control of Venezuela, all without congressional approval. The President does not have the unilateral authority to invade foreign countries, oust their governments, and seize their resources. Under the Constitution, the power to go to war lies with the people's branch."
"After months of carrying out illegal strikes in the Caribbean, President Trump's unauthorized military attack on Venezuela to arrest Maduro and take control of a sovereign nation puts American troops in harm's way with no transparency, justification, or clear path forward,"
"the U.S. is "in charge" of Venezuela and warned interim leader Delcy Rodríguez that she must cooperate or she will fare "probably worse" than Maduro and Flores."
LGBTQ+ elected officials criticized President Trump's military strike on Venezuela as unauthorized and dangerous because it was ordered without congressional approval and lacked transparency, justification, or a clear plan. Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, pleaded not guilty in New York to narco-terrorism, cocaine importation, and weapons charges. Trump declared the U.S. was "in charge" of Venezuela and warned interim leader Delcy Rodríguez to cooperate or risk worse consequences. Officials emphasized opposition to illegitimate dictators and drug trafficking but insisted that the Constitution vests war powers in Congress and called for legislative oversight and accountability.
