Maduro's motorcycle thugs go door to door in hunt for Trump supporters

A Caracas highway is choked with cars.

But far from typical rush hour traffic, Avenida Boyacá, a highway running alongside El Avila National Park in Venezuela’s capital, has ground to a halt because masked men holding Kalashnikovs are stopping drivers and demanding to search their phones and cars.

The gangs of armed men, part of pro-Maduro militias known as Colectivos, scoured vehicles at hastily erected checkpoints following a government directive to root out Venezuelans in support of the US’s brazen capture of Nicolás Maduro.

Days after the sudden decapitation of the Maduro regime, Venezuelans have been left fearing what could come next as mobs of men dressed in civilian clothes with assault rifles slung over their shoulders roam the streets.

rubio, trump and hegseth never considered the consequences for kidnapping Maduro. They have no fucking agenda to take over and now talking about us, the taxpayer, will fund any rebuilding
