In an extraordinary military operation, the United States launched a large-scale military operation in Caracas, Venezuela with special forces seizing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. There is a pending 2020 indictment of Maduro in the Southern District of New York where he is expected to be taken to face prosecution.
The operation comes not long after the 37th anniversary of the capture of Manuel Antonio Noriega on December 20, 1989. Noriega was convicted of drug and money laundering offenses and sentenced to 40 years in prison. He was tried in Miami, Florida.
He was indicted in a four-count superseding indictment with Diosdado Cabello Rondón, 56, head of Venezuela’s National Constituent Assembly; Hugo Armando Carvajal Barrios aka “El Pollo,” 59, former director of military intelligence; Clíver Antonio Alcalá Cordones, 58, former General in the Venezuelan armed forces; Luciano Marín Arango aka “Ivan Marquez,” 64, a member of the FARC’s Secretariat, which is the FARC’s highest leadership body; and Seuxis Paucis Hernández Solarte aka “Jesús Santrich,” 53, a member of the FARC’s Central High Command, which is the FARC’s second-highest leadership body.
This operation will be justified as executing the criminal warrant and responding to an international drug cartel, a very similar legal framework to the one used against Noriega. There is precedent supporting that earlier operation, which will now be used to defend the actions in Venezuela.
Here is part of the earlier description from the Justice Department of the indicted conduct:
“Maduro helped manage and ultimately lead the Cartel of the Suns, a Venezuelan drug-trafficking organization comprised of high-ranking Venezuelan officials. As he gained power in Venezuela, Maduro participated in a corrupt and violent narco-terrorism conspiracy with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. Maduro negotiated multi-ton shipments of FARC-produced cocaine; directed the Cartel of the Suns to provide military-grade weapons to the FARC; coordinated with narcotics traffickers in Honduras and other countries to facilitate large-scale drug trafficking; and solicited assistance from FARC leadership in training an unsanctioned militia group that functioned, in essence, as an armed forces unit for the Cartel of the Suns. In March 2020, Maduro was charged in the Southern District of New York for narco-terrorism, conspiracy to import cocaine, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices.”
Democratic members quickly denounced the operation as unlawful. They may want to review past cases, particularly the decision related to the Noriega prosecution after his capture by President George H.W. Bush in 1989.
Representative Jim McGovern (D., Mass) declared:
“Without authorization from Congress, and with the vast majority of Americans opposed to military action, Trump just launched an unjustified, illegal strike on Venezuela. He says we don’t have enough money for healthcare for Americans—but somehow we have unlimited funds for war??”
Trump does not need congressional approval for this type of operation. Presidents, including Democratic presidents, have launched lethal attacks regularly against individuals. President Barack Obama killed an American citizen under this “kill list” policy. If Obama can vaporize an American citizen without even a criminal charge, Trump can capture a foreign citizen with a pending criminal indictment without prior congressional approval.
Ordinarily, the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and other international agreements require the United States to notify the embassy of a foreign national arrested and held in the United States. Notice seems a tad superfluous in this case.
In his appeal, Noriega argued that his arrest violated international law under the head-of-state immunity doctrine. The district court rejected Noriega’s head-of-state immunity claim because the United States government never recognized Noriega as Panama’s legitimate ruler — an argument that will be made in the Maduro prosecution.
The United States for the Eleventh Circuit also rejected the immunity claim.
Noriega also argued that his capture violated the Treaty Providing for the Extradition of Criminals, May 25, 1904, United States of America-Republic of Panama, 34 Stat. 2851 (“U.S.-Panama Extradition Treaty”). The Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Alvarez-Machain, 504 U.S. 655 (1992), however, was found to bar this argument. The issue was whether he was abducted to the United States with a superseding extradition treaty. The Eleventh Circuit held:
The article of the U.S.-Panama Extradition Treaty upon which Noriega relies for his extradition treaty claim contains almost the same language as the provision of the U.S.-Mexico Extradition Treaty at issue in Alvarez-Machain. See U.S.-Panama Extradition Treaty, art. 5 (“Neither of the contracting parties shall be bound to deliver up its own citizen or subject ․”)…
Under Alvarez-Machain, to prevail on an extradition treaty claim, a defendant must demonstrate, by reference to the express language of a treaty and/or the established practice thereunder, that the United States affirmatively agreed not to seize foreign nationals from the territory of its treaty partner. Noriega has not carried this burden, and therefore, his claim fails.
The Noriega case offers ample support for the Trump Administration, which has had an outstanding arrest warrant for over five years. He is not viewed as the duly elected leader of Venezuela and has been tied to a criminal drug cartel.
The action will also have a major impact on foreign policy. The Monroe Doctrine just became the Trump Doctrine. This action not only confronted Venezuela but also Cuba, which was supplying the security around Maduro. Presumably, Cuban security may have been involved in the firefight. While cutting off vital oil to Cuba, the Trump Administration just delivered a blow against the Cuban regime — arguably one of the most stinging defeats since crushing the Cuban forces in Grenada in 1983.
Legally, Trump has the upper hand in this case. Maduro will replay the arguments from the Noriega case. However, he presents an even weaker case on the merits under the controlling precedent than did Noriega.
N.B.: This column also appeared on Fox.com
Nope, Turley–it’s not about narco-terrorism, something the one you defend admitted–it’s all about the oil. Trump is using the men and women of our military to advance the interests of the oil billionaires. If Trump were really concerned about narco-terrorism, why did he pardon the former President of Honduras, who was convicted of bringing 400 tons of cocaine into the United States? Yeah, MAGA media are scrambling to try to defend this, but Trump keeps undercutting their story line by uttering the truth.
The real question is: will the Republicans in Congress let him get away with this? When will they grow a pair and stand up to him? Are we really going to allow our sons and daughters to potentially be killed to advance the interests of the oil billionaires? Trump did not campaign on this–in fact, his message was the exact opposite–“no foreign wars”. When you blow up or capture ships and invade a foreign country and abduct their leader and his wife–that is an act of war. Even Susie Wiles said that before any American troops entered Venezuela, Trump would have to obtain the consent of Congress–well, he didn’t.
I would simply suggest you research the definition of “war”.
I suggest you investigate the meaning of the word “corruption”. In May, 2024, Politico reported that oil industry insiders reported that Trump called a meeting of oil industry executives in April, 2024 and asked them for $1 billion for his campaign, in exchange for which they would receive roll backs of environmental protections, cutting support for green energy projects and help getting back their Venezuelan refineries. So far, that’s exactly what he has done. Why did Susie Wiles say that Congress would have to approve any invasion of Venezuela?
Trump has admitted that the invasion of Venezuela and abduction of its president was about the oil. Now he claims that the US will “run” Venezuela.
Did you MAGAS vote for this?
No, under Article 2 DJT has this power. This is a legal capture of a fugitive with an outstanding warrant from 2020, at the SDNY. No boots on the ground, no American 🇺🇸 lives lost
No, Trump does NOT have the power to kidnap and abduct a head of state on a faked-up claim of narco-terrorism to fulfill a campaign promise to oil companies who want to reclaim refineries in the region with the richest oil reserves on the planet. American lives haven’t been lost –yet–but it’s far from over. Who’s going to “run” Venezuela? Trump cannot even “run” the US. And, please explain to me why the story about the reason for abducting Maduro keeps changing–first, it was because he was dealing in Fentanyl–which isn’t true because Fentanyl comes from China and Mexico, not Venezuela; next, it was about cocaine–but Trump pardoned the President of Honduras who was convicted in a jury trial of importing 400 tons of cocaine into the United States–so Trump obviously doesn’t care about cocaine dealing; then, it was about “regime change”–since when is it the business of the United States to abduct other world leaders to bring about “regime change”, and what about the promise not to start any more foreign wars?; lastly, he finally admitted it was about the oil–he said “we’re going to keep the oil”, and Trump was in favor of the Iraq War but said “we should have taken over the oil”. What right does the United States have to “take” anyone’s oil? Now, he’s threatening Cuba and Greenland, which is owned by Denmark, a NATO ally. NATO isn’t going to stand for that–but Trump doesn’t care about NATO or the US’s commitments or treaties. And, Denmark made an offer to allow the US to build or improve whatever security installations we wanted to, enlarging any bases there–an offer Trump ignored. He wants their rare earth minerals.
The issue here is NOT whether Maduro is or is not a bad guy, or whether there were election irregularities. Have you seen the so-called “indictment”? There are literally NO facts there that would stand up to the standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt”. What did Mrs. Maduro do? AND, did MAGA media tell you about the international law doctrine of “head of state soverign immunity”? Probably not. According to “USA Today”:
“Sovereign head of state immunity is a principle of international law that protects a sitting head of state from being prosecuted or sued in the courts of another country. This immunity, known as immunity rationae personae, is grounded in the idea of state sovereignty and international comity, ensuring that no one can hinder a foreign leader in performing their duties.”
Maduro probably will not be convicted–but it was never about anything other than the oil and Trump’s insecurities and need to bully anyone anywhere whenever he can. Trump is dangerous. The midterms cannot come soon enough.
The entire operation in Venzuela will ultimately prove pointless because Trump stupidly appointed corrupt, incompetent Pam Bondi to be in charge of the DOJ. “Thanks” to Bondi, Nicky Maduro will be tried in New York Federal Court, a Marxist Hellhole under the control of the Democrat-IslamoCommuNazis.
And the NY Deep State “randomly” assigned the Maduro case to Far Leftist Activist Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein, who always rules for Marxists and against human decency. If Bondi were not such a corrupt, incompetent, worthless bimbo-twerp, the case would be tried in Florida, away from the NYS Democrat-Marxists and IslamoCommuNazis.
Look for Deep State Puppet Hellerstein to rule in favor of fellow corrupt Marxist Nicky Maduro. And look for Trump to whine about the “injustice” of New York’s corrupt legal “system”, while keeping Bondi on and never mentioning that his Administration created the legal fiasco in New York Federal Court by filing in the Marxist Hellhole to begin with.
Trump Snubs Venezuelan Opposition Leader
Trump effectively dismissed the prospects of Venezuela’s democratic opposition, including Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado, whose stand-in candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, won more than two-thirds of the vote in an election last year that saw Maduro refuse to leave office.
Two people close to the White House said the president’s lack of interest in boosting Machado, despite her recent efforts to flatter Trump, stemmed from her decision to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, an award the president has openly coveted.
Although Machado ultimately said she was dedicating the award to Trump, her acceptance of the prize was an “ultimate sin,” said one of the people.

“This operation will be justified as executing the criminal warrant and responding to an international drug cartel, a very similar legal framework to the one used against Noriega.”
— On 21 November 2024, following an investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for two senior Israeli officials, Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, and Yoav Gallant, the former Minister of Defense of Israel.”
So when are we going after them?
Seems like genocide carries a little more weight than drug smuggling, …then again, not with this crowd, …huh?
We know you are too impaired, arrogant, and ignorant to get your facts right, so I will simply correct the stupidity from above. Israel completely complied with the rules of war even though they were dealing with terrorists who hid among women and children. The only genocide committed was the genocide of your brain cells caused by cheap alcohol that may have lacked a known brand name.
My facts are right. There is still a warrant for his arrest, whether murderers and those who cheer murder, like yourself, want to admit it. God is not on “our side”. As Tucker Carlson correctly points out, we need to choose to be on Gods side. And I don’t drink, son. I follow the teachings of Christ, not murderers and those who cheer it on.
You sound the opposite of what you are, and the wild ideas that rise from your head would be better left buried in your hole.
I follow the teachings of Christ, not murderers and those who cheer it on.
And yet here you are supporting your fellow anti-Semitics on that court that will NOT issue the same warrants for Hezbollah and Hamas terrorists that they are issuing for Netanyahu.
Are you worshipping at one of those Christian cults who refer to Jews as “Christ Killers”?
You “follow the teachings of Jesus”, liar, fake-anonymous? Then why are bearing false witness again and again, IslamoCommuNazi subhuman lying trash?
True to form, when S. Meyer is presented with actual verifiable facts, his only response is to resort to churlish insults accusing the bearer of such facts of being an alcoholic.
This has been a constant theme in Meyer’s responses for years. This is clearly projection of his own unfortunate intemperance and indulgences with the demon alcohol, with which he is intimately familiar.
“actual verifiable facts”
What are the facts? Genocide from Hamas and your friends, yes; Israel no.
We are not a member of the ICC for good reason.
Are your bottles of Ripple and Thunderbird as empty as your mind?
Ahhhh yes. If nothing else, Meyer is reliably predictable with his boorish and oafish insults involving alcohol.
As I have noted, Meyer is the master of projection of his own unfortunate intemperance with regard to alcohol.
This is made all the more obvious by his intimate knowledge of the brands of rotgut favored by those with whom he associates at his residence under the NJ Turnpike overpass.
Your personal comments add nothing to the subject at hand. A beaten person by his own hands doesn’t recognize that. You need to be coaxed along on the present topic to further demonstrate your ignorance.
Explain who and how any of the parties under discussion committed genocide.
What is the ICC, and what makes it something with more accountability than yourself?
You do not deal with legitimate questions because you are a troll.
I wholeheartedly agree with your assertion that “personal comments add nothing to the subject at hand”.
Your crude, boorish, and oafish personal insults with regard to alcoholism add absolutely nothing to the discussion of the subject at hand, as you so aptly put it.
Your uncultured insults are indicative of very low breeding. As such, it is clear that you are intellectually incapable of understanding or discussing the matter at hand. Since your low functioning mind does not allow you to understand the nature of the genocidal acts in question, then there is little to be gained in trying to explain it to you.
A typical cop out from a troll whose brain is shot and his mind broken from endless self-abuse.
The questions are..
Explain who and how any of the parties under discussion committed genocide.
What is the ICC, and what makes it something with more accountability than yourself?
There are certain things in this world that are self-evident to those of us with the intellectual capacity to understand what is actually happening.
Unfortunately, low functioning individuals such as yourself are incapable of reaching any level of understanding in such matters. The fact that you do not understand that genocide took place is your problem, not mine. The fact that you are incapable of finding this information yourself is also your problem, not mine. It is utterly pointless trying to explain such matters to those who are incapable of understanding.
You ask, “What is the ICC”. Your admitted ignorance of the existence of the ICC is just further evidence of your ignorance and very low level of intellectual functioning.
It is not worth wasting any time trying to explain basic, fundamental, obvious matters to such a pitifully non-functional and shallow minded individual such as yourself.
The self-inflicted brain-dead person can only put words together in a mindless talkathon, but cannot debate the question at hand. He is ignorant and his ideas stupid.
The questions are:
Explain who and how any of the parties under discussion committed genocide.
What is the ICC, and what makes it something with more accountability than yourself?
The questions have been answered.
The facts are beyond dispute.
Your inability to understand this is quite clearly a result of your extremely low level of cognitive functioning, which severely compromises your ability to comprehend even the most basic of issues. It would be an exercise in futility to attempt to explain the issues at hand to someone with such a diminished mental capacity.
Expecting you to understand the issues at hand is equivalent to expecting a gerbil to understand quantum mechanics.
In reality, a gerbil would be more likely to comprehend the issues at hand than you.
So when are we going after them?
After your fellow neo-Nazi anti-Semitics in that court also issue the same warrants for the Hamas and Hezbollah leaders you Democrat New Hitler Youth Brigade support?
How about that as a starting point?
Fake genocide carries zero weight, stunod. Just like fake, putrid, IslamoCommuNazi piece of scumbagwormmeat like you, fake-anonymous, carry zero weight. Well, technically, that isn’t quite right. You carry subzero weight, subcretin.
We are not required to follow ICC mandated actions. But it would also seem Machado managed some genocide type actions himself………
The fact that Congress didn’t prosecute Obama for murdering US Citizens illegally doesn’t make it legal for Trump to kidnap foreign leaders.
Furthermore, kidnapping a foreign leader is an act of war if ever there was one. The US is used to being a bully and thus used to being able to get away with it, or receiving only light responses, as when the US killed Iranian General Soleimani. But the Constitution says only Congress can declare war, and that means it’s illegal for the US President to start wars without congressional approval… such as by assassinating or kidnapping foreign leaders. This is not complicated. However, we’re so used to having unaccountable leaders and cowardly representatives that it’s easy to get confused.
Never forget that it’s possible to live without this kind of corruption, where all the leaders actually serve the people instead of themselves.
My opposition to the actions taken in Venezuela stems from the fact that there is no uniform foreign policy. How can President Trump and his Cabinet justify the actions against Venezuela; when he pardoned and commuted the prison sentence of the former Honduran President, a conservative, despite the fact that the Honduran President had been convicted on drug offenses including narco–terrorism by a federal court in the United States following his extradition to the United States in a legally sound trial and appellate process.

Before going further with the position you’re displaying on foreign policy, show us you’re credible by commenting on Obama and Biden refusing to allow an FBI-DEA operation to take down a Hezbollah drug cartel running right here in America. This isn’t news – you’ve had years to comment on this here.
Hezbollah, Their American Drug Cartel, and the Obama Administration
“In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed a law enforcement operation targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States”
“https://www.politico.eu/article/obama-hezbollah-the-secret-backstory-of-how-let-off-the-hook/
When did “arresting a criminal” become “kidnapping”?
“When did . . .”
The same day that “illegal immigrant” became a “Maryland man.” A “cop killer” became a “freedom fighter.” “Free speech” became “disinformation” . . .
Because, after all, the Left feels that its words create reality.
Hickory
Forcibly taking into custody the fugitive of a federal warrant is not kidnapping. Blowing up narco terrorists boats laden with drugs is legal as we are fighting a war against these drugs cartels that are destroying our countrymen. Do you know how many US servicemen were killed and maimed by Iranian General Solamani’s Royal Guard in Iraq and Afghanistan? He orchestrated the training and supplied triggering mechanisms to the Iraq and Afghanistan Islamic militias for their IEDs. I don’t think this will serve Trump, I think it will sere both the people of Venezuela and America.
Maduro was not an elected leader. He was a narco terrorist crime boss. Biden put a 25 mil bounty on his head. Now y’all are mad Trump delivered? You’re ridiculous.
Your facts are not true. First, Madura was not “kidnapped”. He was arrested for the horrific crimes charged. Also, Madura is NOT the recognized president of Venezuela, he did not win the election–he is the bully dictator of Venezuela. Again, the US is not the bully. I would say someone who stays in power against the will of his own people is the bully. Maduro is the narco-bully, militarizing an army to run his drug empire. Maduro, along with his predecessor, Chavez, ruined, through being a bully, one of the economic and social bright spots in South America. Mr. Hickory, WE are NOT the bullies. Let’s untwist your mangled facts.
Hickory, What benefit is removing Maduro and helping the Venezuelan people to get their country back in order after being screwed by Marxist thugs and tyrants for decades for Trump himself? It seems you are lacking important knowledge of the laws and are stuck in the hate circle of TDS.
Here’s another Hitler comparison: Germany’s need for oil was a major factor in Hitler’s decision to invade Russia in 1941: Operation Barbarossa, launched on 22 June.
Here’s another Hitler comparison: Germany’s need for oil was a major factor in Hitler’s decision to invade Russia in 1941
Oh, you commie Democrat New Hitler Youth activists… who told you America doesn’t have enough oil? And when do take Iran’s oil – we destroyed their nuclear weapons facility over six months ago!
I suspect that Trump will not be encourage Delcy to sell oil to Putin until Putin agrees to a cease-fire in Ukraine.
It All Sounds Dumb From Here
Maduro’s capture was an impressive raid. But Trump says we’re going to control ‘all’ of Venezuela. Does that mean a trillion dollar invasion and occupation?
Trump also plans to control Venezuela’s oil industry. Which kind of sounds like theft. Like, “We’re just going to steal your biggest industry”.
Stealing all that oil seems rather clueless. After Trump derailed every wind and solar project. He’s not only falling back on old technology, but making oil central to U.S. foreign policy.
Hopefully the Senate will put the brakes on this. Before we drop a trillion on some mindless quagmire.
False predicates are wrong. learn to write. Be coherent.
“Which kind of sounds like theft.”
What you mean is that Trump is returning property that was stolen from Western oil companies (Exxon, Gulf Oil, Mobil).
Try to learn the facts about a country’s history before you spout off.
Yes. Correct
How did US oil get under Venezuelan soil?
Sheldon
It takes massive investment to locate, drill, install and maintain an oil platform. Then there comes the pipeline that conveys the crude to a tank farm. Billions of dollars investment to create the capture of the crudethen conveyance to the refinery, another mutibillion dollar investment or to a tanker at a deep water port.
“It takes massive . . .”
Excellent point about man’s productivity. To the Left, the oil is just here, somehow.
“How did US oil get under Venezuelan soil?”
Wrong question. Try this one:
How did the crude oil under Venezuelan soil become a product beneficial to man’s life?
After derailing solar and wind projects that were taxpayer ripoffs that failed miserably to generate enough electricity to power America one day…
OMGoodness. WE are NOT the thieves. Please check your facts! We would be reclaiming oil assets that were stolen from Exxon and Conoco Philips by Chavez and Maduro
X says James, huh? You’re not making any sense trying to make sense.
Mirrors terrify X – he would see himself as everyone here sees him. X/George: the greatest insult isn’t your daily lying, denying diverting and smearing your feces on our host here Professor Turley and the rest of us.
No, the greatest insult is your belief that we are just as mentally incompetent and stupid as the Democrats who believe all those lies you copy and paste here from Obama, Biden, Comey, Mayorkas, Harris, Pelosi et al.
That’s the greatest insult within the lies and hatred you throw at Professor Turley and the rest of us here every day.

Tonight they’re cheering colonialism over dictatorship
michael molovinsky says: Tonight they’re cheering colonialism over dictatorship
Mikey The Libertarian hasn’t gotten over the terminal dose of White Guilt he contracted from the Obama candidacy back in 2007. Mike was infected by White Guilt while confirming his support for the Second Amendment – right beside praising Hilly Clinton for her “pragmatic gun control policies”… like outlawing semiautomatic rifles while honoring the Second Amendment.
Oh – and praising Obama for his foreign policy chops he earned while enabling and funding Iranian terrorism at the same time they were killing Americans in Afghanistan and around the world.
Mikey’s confusion over the normal meanings of words might explain why his blog has failed along with his political ambitions to be elected to city council in Allentown.
