U.S. special forces have captured and removed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro from the country. The operation, ordered by the President, was conducted without advance notice to Congress.
The action has triggered a fierce political divide. Lawmakers are split along party lines, with many Democrats expressing outrage over being bypassed. Many Republicans have voiced support for the mission.
Public reaction is also sharply divided, between citizens who praise the president's decisive move and those who condemn it.
The White House has stated that congressional authorization was not required for the operation.
