YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAs questions grow over the United States’ actions in Venezuela, a legal expert weighs in on the administration’s authority and the implications moving forward.
Kenneth Gray, a professor at the University of New Haven’s College of Criminal Justice, told FOX that the operation that led to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s capture and transfer to the United States should be viewed as a law enforcement action — not an act of war — because it stemmed from an existing U.S. indictment.
Gray said the arrest did not require congressional approval, arguing that the use of military assistance in a law enforcement operation has historical precedent, including the 1989 capture of Panama’s Manuel Noriega.
