Venezuela, U.S. Naval Strikes, and Rising Cartel Threats to Federal Agents

from Borderland: Dispatches with Katarina Szulc · host IRONCLAD

On today’s episode, Katarina breaks down recent U.S. operations in Venezuela, including CIA-authorized strikes on narcotraffickers and paramilitary networks aligned with Nicolás Maduro, which have resulted in 27 reported deaths. She examines the lack of public confirmation about those targeted and how these actions differ from past counter-narcotics operations. Katarina also reviews a DHS warning about Mexican criminal groups offering bounties on federal agents, tracing the intelligence behind the advisory and exploring how the timing of these events may reflect broader U.S. strategy in Latin America and domestic security.
