January 3, 2026

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA– Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood released a statement following news that the United States had successfully captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

“Thanks to American leadership, Maduro’s reign of terror has come to an end. President Trump and his team used brilliant strategic force to capture Maduro alive so that the tyrant will face prosecution for his crimes in a court of law. No longer will Maduro flood our country with drugs, kill his own people in the streets, or rig election results. The end of the Maduro era opens a new chapter where the voice of the people of Venezuela will finally be heard.”
