US Venezuela Opn; Maduro Captured
LINK to Wash Times article
Snippet:
Quote:
The U.S. carried out major strikes in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas and captured the country’s president, Nicolas Maduro, and flew him out of the country, President Trump said early Saturday.
Mr. Maduro’s wife was also captured in the operation, Mr. Trump announced. Their whereabouts weren’t immediately clear.
Low-flying aircraft were reportedly seen flying over Caracas early Saturday after multiple explosions rang out in the city.
Details on the mission weren’t immediately disclosed. Mr. Trump said he will address the nation later Saturday morning.
“The United States of America has successfully carried out a large-scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country,” the president said on Truth Social. “This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow.”
In a brief phone interview, Mr. Trump told The New York Times that the operation involved “a lot of good planning and lot of great, great troops and great people.”
“It was a brilliant operation, actually,” the president said.

When I first read this I thought this has to be fake news but then I went out to the Daily Mail and read it and knew it must be true. They are gonna hold him in NYC isn't that where Epstein was held?

Did I miss something in the Constitution that allows POTUS to invade another country and capture it's political leaders?

“Political Leaders” that have open warrants and indictments in US Jurisdiction are totally under the prevue of DOJ and the POTUS. If Military Force is necessary to affect arrest(s) then so be it? Ask the Barbary Pirates…….. this has literally been happening since the beginning by the Men that wrote the USC……
So, yeah, it’s legal.

Actually it was a law-enforcement operation, just assisted & secured by other Federal agencies. DEA was along on the team and they actually made the arrests. Props to the smart Venezuelan air-defense weenies who didn't turn their systems on so as to not eat a HARM.
