January 3, 2026 Press Release Contact: Alexis Torres Washington, D.C.— Today, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) released the following statement: “The world witnessed an extraordinary operation that was executed by our CIA and military. For that, I am grateful. However, any further military intervention by the United States must receive congressional authorization. “Since 2020, Nicolás Maduro has been under indictment by a Federal Court in the Southern District of New York—and it was important that he be brought to justice.
