Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez stated, “Enough of Washington's orders on politicians in Venezuela,” according to an X post by @eduardomenoni during the nearly two-hour reporting window from 12:46 a.m. to 2:46 a.m. UTC on January 26, 2026. A separate X post by @RNacional_News, also within the same period, cited a source from U.S. politicians claiming the United States plans an intervention in Venezuela to capture government leaders including Rodríguez. The post referenced DEA and CIA information implicating them in drug trafficking and deaths of political prisoners in Venezuela. The claims emerged amid ongoing monitoring of political detentions, following Foro Penal's verification on January 25, 2026, of 104 political prisoner releases as of 8 p.m. that day, according to executive director Alfredo Romero's statement on X.
