U.S. military conducts assault on Venezuelan capital and captures President Nicholas Maduro, sources say

On Jan 5th 2026, the U.S. Air Force conducted a swift overnight raid on the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, under the order of U.S. President Donald Trump. Over 80 people died as a result of these strikes from the U.S. Air Force. After athe brief struggle between the U.S. Air Force and the Venezuelan Government Forces, the U.S. Delta Force was able to extract President Nicholas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores from their bedroom and into a helicopter.

The reason for this invasion, according to President Trump, was to rid the U.S. of drugs, which he claims came from Venezuela under Maduro’s order. As a result of these crimes, Maduro was brought to the states. U.S. The U.S. Department of Justice has decided to schedule a trial in mid March. President Maduro and his wife are currently held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Further updates will be provided.
