Following the reported seizure of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuelan migrants in New York City gathered to discuss the implications, with mixed reactions ranging from celebration to concern about potential repercussions for asylum seekers. The migrants, many of whom arrived during the immigration crisis between 2022 and 2024, have faced legal uncertainty and shifting protections under different U.S. administrations. At a Methodist church on the Upper West Side, migrants received updates and debated the situation, while in Jackson Heights, patrons at a Venezuelan restaurant also discussed the news. Some expressed hope for returning to Venezuela, while others feared retaliation from the Venezuelan government for supporting the U.S. action.
