Senator Rand Paul Criticizes Trump Administration's Justification for Maduro's Arrest
Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul has publicly rejected the Trump administration's justification for the arrest of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Paul argues that labeling the military operation as a law enforcement action does not change its legality, asserting that only Congress has the authority to declare war. The arrest, which involved collaboration between law enforcement and the military, has been criticized by some Republicans and many Democrats as an illegal act of war. State Secretary Marco Rubio defended the operation as primarily a law enforcement function, aimed at apprehending indicted fugitives.
