NEW: Reaction is pouring in from lawmakers after President Donald Trump announced the capture of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro - including from New Mexico’s congregational delegation.
Rep. Melanie Stansburry (D-NM) posted this on social media:
“The White House is confirming U.S. military operations in Venezuela tonight. Let us be clear: these strikes are illegal. The President does not have the authority to declare war or undertake large-scale military operations without Congress. Congress must act to rein him in. Immediately.”
