The de facto leader of Venezuela, President Nicolas Maduro, was captured and arrested by the U.S. in the early hours of January 2, and Texas lawmakers have responded to the arrest.
Gov. Greg Abbott published on X, “Maduro is an indicted narco terrorist. His drug trafficking operation cost the lives of many Americans. His release of Tren de Aragua gang members from [Venezuelan] prisons terrorized American communities & killed my fellow Texans. Texas and the world are better because of his capture.”
