Mamdani Slammed After Commenting on Maduro Capture

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani weighed in after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. He called the operation a violation of law and warned about fallout for Venezuelans in the city. The reaction online was fast and brutal.

The raid in Caracas reportedly resulted in Maduro and his wife being taken into U.S. custody. Officials on multiple outlets said both have been indicted in the Southern District of New York. Explosions and air activity were reported in several Venezuelan locations as the operation unfolded.

Mamdani posted on X about the event. His words drew a volley of criticism.

“I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City,” he wrote. “Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law.” “This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home,” he added. “My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance.”

That message set off a flood of replies. People on social platforms mocked the mayor, questioned his priorities, and told him to focus on local problems. Others criticized his ideological stance and his tone on U.S. action.

Examples of the responses were published widely. The social posts below were shared publicly and drove much of the immediate discourse.

Politics in moments like this moves fast. A mayor’s international comment can become a local controversy in minutes. Mamdani’s statement hit a live, divided feed. Supporters warned about instability for Venezuelan immigrants. Critics said the mayor was defending a Marxist ruler and not backing U.S. action.

Whatever side you take, the episode shows how national security moves and local politics now cross paths immediately. For New Yorkers, the concerns will be practical — community safety, consular issues, and potential local impacts. For national audiences, it’s another flashpoint in the deep ideological split over U.S. foreign policy and regime change.

Expect more statements from federal and city officials. Expect more online heat. And expect this to be talked about for days.
