Will the 63 Venezuelans who are playing Major League Baseball

be deported, jailed? Will they care what happened, will they speak out?

Seeing as they are millionaires I'm guessing they will not rock the boat.

I often wonder why ICE never bothers with the multitude of "foreigners" who play professional sports.

Maduro was not well-liked, esp. not by the wealthy. For now most of them probably think it was a "good thing" to get rid of that asshole.

However, their feelings will probably change if armed conflicts over power erupt in their homeland because the US removed Maduro with no plan for what happens afterward.
