José Camargo, deputy national director of the Bolivarian Circles, was arrested around 6:00 PM on Friday in the 18 de Octubre sector of Maracaibo for his alleged connection to the crime of inciting hatred, according to a police report cited in an X post by @JoelvinRV during the 2-hour-29-minute reporting window from 4:17 PM to 6:46 PM UTC on January 25, 2026. The procedure was carried out by officials from the Criminal Investigation Division (DIP), attached to the Directorate of Strategic and Tactical Investigations of the Bolivarian National Police Corps (Cpnb), the report stated. Officials detected the content through cyber patrol work on TikTok and Instagram, describing it as part of a “media war to destabilize fundamental bases of the Venezuelan State,” including calls that would generate fear by summoning armed civilians in the Maracaibo municipality. In the same reporting window, X user @EmmaRincon reported that Vice President Delcy Rodríguez lashed out against U.S. President Donald Trump, stating "enough of Washington's orders in Venezuela" and demanding an end to interference in the country's internal affairs. A separate post by @EmmaRincon noted Delcy Rodríguez is engaged in the electoral campaign ahead of upcoming elections.
