President Trump canceled a planned second strike in Venezuela after the country began releasing political prisoners, leaving South Florida families waiting to learn whether their loved ones are among those freed.

Several Democrats have claimed that the Trump administration's Jan. 3 military operation that led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, was “illegal,” violating both domestic and international law.

Among the deceased are colonels, lieutenants, majors and captains, as well as some reserve soldiers, ranging in age from 26 to 60.

There will be little if any impact to gas prices – up or down – in the wake of the raid that captured Venezuelan leader Maduro.

The two-day poll showed 65% of Republicans back the military operation ordered by Trump and 72% worry the U.S. will become too involved in the country.

US carried out a lightning military strike on Venezuela early Saturday, capturing Maduro and his wife. American officials say they will face narco-terrorism charges in U.S. courts.

At least seven explosions reportedly heard in Caracas as low-flying aircraft spotted over Venezuela's capital early Saturday morning.

President Donald Trump attacked Republicans who voted with Democrats Thursday for a resolution requiring him to rescind any military threats against Venezuela that have not been approved by Congress, in one of the clearest GOP rebukes of his operations there.
