""large-scale strike""
""soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts.""
""We do not know the whereabouts of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores,""
""We demand proof of life.""
The United States conducted a large-scale strike in Venezuela early Saturday and announced that President Nicolás Maduro had been captured and flown out of the country. President Trump announced the nighttime operation on social media; the legal authority and any consultation with Congress were unclear. Explosions and low-flying aircraft were reported in the capital as the Venezuelan government called the action an "imperialist attack" and urged citizens into the streets. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, would face charges and "soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts." Vice President Delcy Rodríguez said Maduro's whereabouts were unknown and demanded proof of life, and Venezuelan law would make Rodríguez the acting leader in the president's absence.
