"This was a law enforcement proceeding to capture someone who has been indicted on some very serious charges... and it was the capture of someone who was an illegitimate ruler... much different than a military move against a military adversary."

Sec Marco Rubio - https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2007839038246453746

"Maduro is not just an indicted drug trafficker, he was an illegitimate president. He was not the head of state. I continue to see these media reports referring to him as 'President Maduro' and the 'head of state.' He was not the head of state."

Sec Marco Rubio - https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2007839507849064804

"What we are going to react to is very simple: what do you do? Not what you're saying publicly, what happens... Do the drugs stop coming? Are the changes made? Is Iran expelled? Is Hezbollah and Iran no longer able to operate against our interests from Venezuela?"

Rep Anna Paulina Luna - https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2007844721889284222

on the successful capture of Maduro: "We even had local press reporting that some people that were refugees coming to the United States from Venezuela are now making arrangements to head back home... it's been a very, very net positive."

We’re no longer going to tolerate third-world regimes flooding our country with drugs and crime. And when we act, we do so with overwhelming force.
