Several Indian-American lawmakers, primarily Democrats, have strongly criticized President Trump's military action in Venezuela, which resulted in the capture of President Nicolas Maduro. They argue the move bypassed Congress, abused presidential power, risked long-term instability, and undermined constitutional separation of powers. Lawmakers like Ro Khanna and Raja Krishnamoorthi expressed concerns about setting dangerous precedents for international intervention and warned of potential emboldenment of adversaries like Russia and China. Trump, however, praised the operation's professionalism and confirmed Maduro faces charges.
