Dictator and narco-terrorist Nicolás Maduro was captured by U.S. forces in a thrilling nighttime raid on his palace in Caracas, Venezuela, in an operation codenamed Operation Absolute Resolve. The mission involved over 150 aircraft launched from around 20 bases across the hemisphere. It neutralized much of Venezuela’s air defenses, cut power in Caracas, and ended with Delta Force troops detaining Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, as they attempted to reach a safe room. Within hours, they were flown to New York, where they are now being held to face narco-terrorism charges, among other things.
