This Senate resolution expresses support for "Operation Absolute Resolve," a January 3, 2026 U.S. military and law enforcement operation that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. The resolution provides extensive background on the Maduro regime's alleged crimes, including presiding over drug trafficking (particularly cocaine), harboring terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and drug cartels, and conducting fraudulent elections that the U.S. and dozens of other countries refused to recognize. The resolution cites Maduro's indictment in New York federal court on narco-terrorism and drug trafficking charges, as well as the regime's connections to hostile foreign powers including China, Russia, and Iran. The Senate formally commends President Trump's decision to conduct the military operation, praises the U.S. servicemembers and law enforcement officers involved, and expresses support for efforts to assist the Venezuelan people in achieving freedom. No funding or specific timeline beyond the January 3, 2026 operation date is mentioned in the resolution.
