Several Florida lawmakers will hold a press conference in Doral on Monday after deposed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was captured by U.S. forces.
The press conference will be held at Las Vegas Cuban Cuisine at 8552 NW 53rd Street at 9:30 a.m.
U.S. senators Rick Scott, Ashley Moody and Rep. Carlos Gimenez will be joining the Venezuelan community in Doral to celebrate the latest developments.
Maduro’s capture happened during the early morning hours on Saturday after the Trump administration launched a major military attack on Venezuela.
After Maduro and his wife, first lady Cilia Flores, were captured, they were indicted in the U.S. for alleged narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy and weapons offenses.
On Monday, Maduro and his wife arrived at a New York courthouse for their first appearance in the case.
There has been a wide range of reactions after the operation in Venezuela, where lawmakers have expressed their support as well as their concerns towards the Trump administration’s actions.
During an appearance on “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. is not a war with Venezuela, and that the United States would not take a day-to-day role in governing Venezuela other than enforcing an existing “oil quarantine” on the country.
