A U.S. military operation in Venezuela early Saturday resulted in the capture of deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, prompting members of Delaware's Venezuelan-American community to express fear, uncertainty, and concerns about the United States' role in Venezuela's future.

The Trump administration recently announced it has revoked the 18-month extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 600,000 Venezuelans in the United States, an extension that had been granted by the Biden administration until October 2026, just 10 days before the end of its term.
