Venezuela has plunged into deeper turmoil following a dramatic U.S. military operation that led to the capture of former President Nicolás Maduro. Caracas has imposed emergency rule and ordered arrests of anyone celebrating or supporting the operation, warning of jail terms for dissent. Power is rapidly consolidating under siblings Jorge and Delcy Rodríguez, who now control both parliament and the interim presidency. As Maduro pleads not guilty in a New York federal court on charges including narco-terrorism, Venezuelans across the global diaspora are reacting with joy, relief, and fear, hopeful for change, yet anxious about the fate of loved ones still inside the country.
