Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said First Lady Cilia Flores resisted U.S. forces’ attempt to detain President Nicolás Maduro during the U.S. military operation in Caracas, praising her courage against what he called “United States imperialism.” Speaking at a women’s march, Cabello accused Washington of killing civilians and demanded Maduro’s release, calling him a “prisoner of war.” He also claimed an “anti-American feeling” is growing in Venezuela but insisted the Bolivarian Revolution endures. The U.S. raid, which captured Maduro and Flores and transferred them to New York to face charges, has drawn widespread international controversy and condemnation.
