🚨 Over the weekend, a surprise US military operation struck inside Venezuela, capturing President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in a dramatic raid.
Newly inaugurated New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was quick to slam the mission as an “act of war,” calling it “a violation of federal and international law” and warning it hits tens of thousands of Venezuelan New Yorkers hard. 🌎✊
Reports say the couple was flown to Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, NY, touching down around 5 p.m. (2200 GMT) on Saturday, where they remain in custody.
Protests ignited at the Newburgh base as locals rallied against the strike, while in Manhattan, crowds marched under signs reading “No War on Venezuela!” 📢🇻🇪
With protests spreading and domestic debates heating up, many are asking: what comes next? 🔍
