CBS reports that U.S. elite special forces Delta Force participated in this arrest mission, a unit that previously was responsible for killing ISIS leader Baghdadi in 2019. Trump praised it as a meticulously planned brilliant operation.

As early as 2020, the U.S. Department of Justice charged Maduro with narco-terrorism, accusing him of colluding with armed drug trafficking groups to use cocaine as a weapon to smuggle into the United States. Prior to this, U.S. military had conducted months of military buildup in the Caribbean region, deploying about 15,000 soldiers.
