Gunfire was heard near Venezuela’s Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas on Monday night, days after former president Nicolás Maduro was captured and taken to the United States. CNN videos showed drone lights and anti-aircraft fire lighting the night sky. The White House denied any role in the gunfire. CNN later confirmed the shots came from confusion between paramilitary groups linked to the regime near the palace. Earlier Monday, Maduro arrived in New York City in handcuffs, guarded by armed federal agents. He spent the night in a Brooklyn federal jail and was taken to a Manhattan courthouse to face criminal charges. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Maduro was brought to the US to "face justice." The Trump administration called the capture "basically a law enforcement function," not a military operation. Bondi added, "All personnel involved acted professionally, decisively, and in strict accordance with US law and established protocols." Maduro pleaded not guilty in court. His lawyers plan to challenge the legality of the US operation. Last week, the US launched Operation Absolute Resolve, a secret mission by Delta Force and law enforcement involving more than 150 aircraft from 20 locations in Caracas. The goal was to capture Maduro and his wife and bring him to the US on charges related to narco-terrorism and cocaine trafficking. After the operation, President Trump said the US will "run" Venezuela. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified the US will not govern Venezuela but will impose blockades on its oil sector.
