Celebrations erupted among Venezuelans in South Florida on Saturday following the ouster of Nicolás Maduro's government, an event triggered by a U.S. military action. The news sparked gatherings in Doral, Florida, a Miami suburb with a significant Venezuelan population, as word spread of Maduro's capture and removal from the country.

In Doral, a focal point of Venezuelan culture, people congregated outside establishments like the El Arepazo restaurant, expressing hope for a new chapter in Venezuela. Chants of "Liberty! Liberty! Liberty!" echoed through the streets, reflecting a mix of emotions. "Were like everybody its a combination of feelings, of course," said Alejandra Arrieta, a Venezuelan who immigrated to the U.S. in 1997. "Theres fears. Theres excitement. Theres so many years that weve been waiting for this. Something had to happen in Venezuela. We all need the freedom."

The U.S. government, according to President Trump, will oversee the transition. The specific details of this transition remain unclear, leaving many in the Venezuelan community both hopeful and apprehensive about the future.

The situation in Venezuela has been deteriorating for years, marked by economic hardship, political instability, and widespread social unrest. Maduro's government faced accusations of authoritarianism and human rights abuses, leading to international pressure and sanctions. The U.S. government had been a vocal critic of Maduro's regime, implementing various measures aimed at isolating his government.

The military intervention marks a significant escalation in U.S. policy toward Venezuela. The long-term implications of this action and the future political landscape of Venezuela are yet to be determined. The response from other nations and international organizations is also being closely monitored.
