Residents of Misión Vivienda urban developments in Venezuela are being forced to hang posters demanding the release of captured former leader Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, with vice ministers threatening to visit residences for verification, according to a complaint shared by @Gbastidas on X between 1:45 a.m. and 2:15 a.m. UTC on January 7. The White House posted on X during the same 29-minute period that Democrats have switched their position on Maduro and Venezuela while President Donald J. Trump is taking action, referencing his earlier announcement that Venezuelan interim authorities will turn over 30 to 50 million barrels of sanctioned oil to the United States. Separately, @LADILLAO posted on X in the reporting window complaining that authorities replaced a photo of "my commander," likely referring to Maduro, stating "Damn, how ugly, they replaced the photo of my commander!!!" This follows the U.S. Delta Force raid that captured Maduro in Caracas last Saturday, as previously reported, amid ongoing regime fallout including declarations of national mourning by Delcy Rodríguez.
