Free­lance Con­trib­u­tor

So­cial ac­tivist Sofia Figueroa says that while many Venezue­lans are cel­e­brat­ing the cap­ture of Pres­i­dent Nicolás Maduro, there is grow­ing con­cern that oth­er key fig­ures with­in his in­ner cir­cle were not de­tained dur­ing the Unit­ed States op­er­a­tion in Cara­cas on Sat­ur­day.

Figueroa said Maduro and his wife were re­port­ed­ly tak­en by US forces dur­ing the raid, but se­nior of­fi­cials al­leged­ly re­main at large, rais­ing fears that the same po­lit­i­cal cy­cle could con­tin­ue.
