Hundreds of people protested in major U.S. cities this weekend. They demonstrated against President Trump's military intervention in Venezuela.
The operation forcibly removed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro early Saturday. U.S. forces brought him to the United States to face drug-trafficking charges.
Protesters called the action illegal and opposed a potential war. The protests happened even as many Venezuelans living in the U.S. celebrated Maduro's removal.
Top Republican politicians have since distanced themselves from Trump's earlier claim that the U.S. would run Venezuela.
