"They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts. On behalf of the entire US [justice department], I would like to thank President Trump for having the courage to demand accountability on behalf of the American People, and a huge thank you to our brave military who conducted the incredible and highly successful mission to capture these two alleged international narco-traffickers."
"Maduro is NOT the President of Venezuela and his regime is not the legitimate government. Maduro is the head of the Cartel de Los Soles, a narco-terror organization that has taken control of the country. And he is under indictment for pushing drugs into the United States. Many specialists are skeptical of the narco-terror description when it comes to Cartel de los Soles."
US forces captured Nicolas Maduro in Caracas on Saturday, generating starkly polarized political reactions. Administration officials and Republicans framed the operation as enforcement of a 2020 US narco-trafficking indictment, while Democrats called it a violation of Venezuela's right to self-determination. The US attorney general, Pam Bondi, said Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were indicted in the southern district of New York on charges including narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and related conspiracies. Bondi thanked President Trump and the military. Marco Rubio labeled Maduro head of the Cartel de Los Soles, and JD Vance demanded an end to drug trafficking and the return of stolen oil. Some specialists expressed skepticism about the narco-terror label for Cartel de los Soles.
