U.S. forces have seized two more oil tankers with links to Venezuela, days after the U.S. attacked Venezuela and abducted President Nicolás Maduro along with his wife, making former Vice President Delcy Rodríguez the new leader of the country. "This is a decapitation without regime change," says Venezuelan economist Francisco Rodríguez. "The political system in Venezuela remains intact." In Caracas, former Venezuelan diplomat Carlos Ron says Maduro is a "prisoner of war" and that Venezuelans "are angry and are upset about this incursion from the United States." This comes as the Trump administration has announced plans to control sales of Venezuela's oil "indefinitely."

Democratic lawmakers repeatedly called on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign as they confronted her on Trump's immigration crackdown during a heated House Homeland Security Committee hearing Thursday. We speak with Congressmember Delia Ramirez, who reiterated her call during the hearing for Noem to resign and announced that she would begin taking steps for her impeachment.
The Department of Homeland Security is "operating as a criminal organization" under Noem's leadership, Ramirez tells Democracy Now! "She thinks that she is above the law as long as Republicans are in leadership. … We can't allow her to think this is a laughable matter as people are dying under her watch."
