'We’re Not Going to Stand for This': Multiple Protests in Portland After US Capture of Venezuelan President

Protesters oppose the U.S. military's capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, fearing escalation and intervention, with demonstrations occurring in major U.S. cities including Chicago and Los Angeles.

  • On Saturday, early in the day, more than 100 people gathered outside East Liberty Presbyterian Church at 3 p.m. to protest the U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro, organized by the Answer Coalition.
  • After months of escalating pressure that included deadly strikes, a seized oil tanker and a blockade, the U.S. military launched a large-scale operation overnight Friday in Caracas, Venezuela.
  • Protesters said the raid was illegal and a 'kidnapping', with Pittsburgh protesters and the Answer Coalition accusing the U.S. of seizing Venezuela's oil and demanding the acts of war end immediately.
  • U.S. officials say Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores will face criminal charges in New York, while lawmakers criticized the raid for bypassing Congress and signal a Senate vote next week to block unauthorized military actions.
  • The strike marks a major escalation in the campaign against Maduro, as Venezuela's proven oil reserves and U.S. Southern Command buildup raise risks to regional stability in the Western Hemisphere.
