On cam: America strikes back after years of southern threats, GOP lawmakers laud Maduro capture

Republican Latino lawmakers from Florida praised U.S. President Donald Trump after American forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a dramatic overnight operation. Representatives said the action marked an end to years of tolerance toward drug trafficking and instability they link to Venezuela. U.S. Special Forces seized Maduro near a safe house as parts of Caracas lost electricity, later transporting him and his wife to a U.S. Navy ship and then to the United States. Speaking from Mar-a-Lago, Trump said the U.S. would oversee Venezuela temporarily to ensure a safe and orderly transition of power.
