I never thought I\u2019d see the man who destroyed my family\u2019s life in handcuffs. But that\u2019s exactly what happened when American forces recently captured Venezuelan dictator Nicol\u00e1s Maduro<\/a> and his wife. “Trump is doing it!” my mother told me through tears over the phone. I never heard her happier. I was in shock. I stared at my phone, scrolling through videos and breaking news on X \u2014 my mother was right.<\/p>\n

When I was growing up in Venezuela, I suffered alongside my parents who were forced to close our cosmetics business thanks to socialist government price controls. My parents made sacrifices, and didn\u2019t eat so I could.<\/p>\n

Those experiences inspired me to become a college campus activist in Venezuela against Maduro\u2019s regime. I spoke out and promoted the truth about capitalism and liberty. I was soon expelled from school, labeled a terrorist and threatened with prison time.<\/p>\n

TRUMP SIGNALS LONG ROAD AHEAD IN VENEZUELA IN HIS BOLDEST INTERVENTIONIST MOVE YET<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

My cousin had already been jailed for his activism, and my family did not want the same for me. So we fled seeking political asylum in America.<\/p>\n

It saved my life. America gave me a future of freedom and opportunity. And now, thanks to President Donald Trump<\/a>, I have witnessed a measure of justice I never imagined possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My family and friends still in Venezuela are overjoyed. Perhaps there are no people more grateful for America\u2019s president right now than Venezuelans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even though many of my friends and family in Venezuela are celebrating, they must do so quietly. Maduro has fallen<\/a>, but his regime remains in power. Those who celebrate in the streets or post online still risk punishment and prison. This is not a happy ending for Venezuela, but a new beginning.<\/p>\n

MIKE PENCE: VENEZUELA HAS A CHANCE FOR FREEDOM, THANKS TO TRUMP AND OUR ARMED FORCES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

What happens now is uncertain, and many wonder whether Venezuela will become another Iraq or Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

But Venezuela is not a tribal country defined by sectarian violence. It is a Western nation with a long democratic tradition prior to Hugo Ch\u00e1vez, a shared language and a deeply Christian culture \u2014 more than 90 percent identify as such. This is not a country divided over whether tyranny is acceptable \u2014 it is a country that has been held hostage by force.<\/p>\n

Mar\u00eda Corina Machado \u2014 the Nobel Peace Prize winner and leader of the democratic opposition \u2014 has not yet assumed power. That\u2019s because Machado has the support of the Venezuelan people, but not control of the military. Venezuela\u2019s armed outfits are now, and have been for some time, a vast criminal enterprise loyal to cartels. That\u2019s why President Trump, rather than pretending the regime collapsed overnight, is establishing a process \u2014 what Secretary of State Marco Rubio described as stabilization, recovery and transition.<\/p>\n

WHITE HOUSE SAYS US WILL SHAPE VENEZUELA\u2019S FUTURE AS TRUMP EMBRACES \u2018AMERICAN DOMINANCE\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Do Venezuelans trust current leader Delcy Rodr\u00edguez, Maduro\u2019s vice president? No. She helped build the machinery of repression that terrorized the country. But she understands something Maduro did not: Trump is deadly serious.<\/p>\n

Maduro challenged Trump. He is now sitting in a New York jail<\/a>New York jail cell. The regime has never been weaker.<\/p>\n

If Rodr\u00edguez is cooperating \u2014 as the Trump administration suggests \u2014 it may already be creating fractures within the regime. Figures like Diosdado Cabello and Vladimir Padrino L\u00f3pez built their power on violence, not compromise. That internal tension matters.<\/p>\n

RUBIO LAYS OUT THREE-PHASE PLAN FOR VENEZUELA AFTER MADURO: ‘NOT JUST WINGING IT’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This moment is fragile. Multiple outcomes are possible \u2014 internal splits, renewed repression, cooperation, or a negotiated transition. But one thing is undeniable: Venezuela \u2014 and the world \u2014 are better off with Nicol\u00e1s Maduro behind bars.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maduro was not a president \u2014 his elections were scams. He was a fugitive who was indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2020 for narcoterrorism. Venezuela\u2019s alliances with bad actors like China, Russia, Cuba and Iran continue to wreak havoc on America, and the world. But now, a major player is finally behind bars.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yet, too many in America are actually condemning the capture of a socialist dictator. Protesters outside the detention center demand Maduro\u2019s release. They ironically praise his regime, apparently without realizing they would never be able to protest in Maduro\u2019s Venezuela without being arrested.<\/p>\n

Still others absurdly suggest Maduro is a conservative Christian leader.<\/p>\n

The same Maduro used Venezuela\u2019s so-called “Anti-Hate Speech Law” to persecute Catholics<\/a> who dared criticize his regime. He publicly insulted clergy, calling priests “devils in cassocks,” and even ordered investigations against them.<\/p>\n

Venezuela\u2019s Catholic shepherds remained undeterred and repeatedly condemned Maduro\u2019s\u00a0Marxist socialism. They have warned it “threatens freedom and the rights of persons and associations and has led to oppression and ruin in every country where it has been tried.”<\/p>\n

Freedom is an exception, not the norm. And America is unique in its commitment to liberty. Venezuela didn\u2019t become a dictatorship overnight. It happened gradually with promises of fairness, more government control sold as compassion and the suppression of dissent. By the time people realized what they had lost, it was already too late.<\/p>\n

I fled socialism to survive. And I urge Americans to avoid learning these lessons the hard way. Because I understand how easy it is to lose freedom<\/a> \u2014 and how rare it is to get it back.<\/p>\n
