Iran's efforts to quell a wave of anti-government protests have been complicated by Donald Trump's threat to intervene on their side, a warning firmly underlined by the subsequent U.S. capture of Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro,

The United States launched an attack on Venezuela in the overnight hours of Jan. 3, capturing Venezuelan President Maduro.

U.S. Senate and House Democrats from Oregon and Washington moved swiftly to condemn President Donald Trump's announcement that the United States carried out a military strike in Venezuela and captured President Nicolás Maduro and his wife.

While celebrations among the Venezuelan diaspora broke out around the world, in Venezuela the mood was tense after the ouster of President Nicolás Maduro.

Anti-war protests are planned in over 100 cities after a U.S. military operation captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Alabama's coastal city mirrors the partisan split over Venezuela, with Republicans praising "law enforcement" operation while Democrats call it unconstitutional.

Protests in Mexico following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by the United States on Saturday varied in mood between celebration and criticism, as President Claudia Sheinbaum and other Latin American leaders condemned the intervention.

“We will never again be a colony of any empire,” Rodríguez said. “We are determined to be free.” She demanded that Washington release Maduro, stating that “he is still Venezuela’s president,” and condemned the US operation in stark terms. “What is being done to Venezuela is barbaric,” she said.

Opponents of the U.S. intervention in Venezuela called it illegal. Supporters celebrated the ouster of Nicolás Maduro, the country’s authoritarian president.

The protest was organized by the grassroots group Indivisible Washington County. “It’s been a continuous onslaught ever since January 2025 of things we thought we would never see, you know, for our government to go into a foreign country and take their leaders,” said Donald Donoghue with Indivisible.
