US EditionSchumer Slams Trump’s Capture of Maduro as ‘Reckless’
Democrats criticize the Trump administration for bypassing Congress in the Maduro operation and demand briefings and war powers resolutions amid concerns over legal and strategic clarity.
- Early Saturday, U.S. forces captured Nicolás Maduro in Caracas, and the Department of Justice says Maduro and Cilia Flores will face trial in the Southern District of New York.
- Amid wider counternarcotics efforts and prior boat strikes, observers flagged regime-change aims, while the Trump administration said the raid was a law-enforcement counternarcotics operation with U.S. military assistance.
- Democrats say Congress was not briefed before the Venezuela operation, though the Gang of Eight typically receives notice, and Marco Rubio said `We called members of Congress immediately after.`
- When Congress returns Monday evening, Democratic members plan to launch probes and press war-powers votes, while the administration arranges briefings, Speaker Mike Johnson said.
- Legal and foreign-policy critics said the move erodes constitutional war-powers norms and risks instability without a clear Venezuelan power vacuum plan, while Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he looks forward to briefings next week.
