In the pre-dawn hours Saturday, the United States did more than just send a message. We finished the job. With the confirmed capture of Nicolas Maduro by U.S. forces, the era of the criminal "super-state" in the Caribbean is over. For over a decade, the Maduro regime was not a government; it was a transnational cartel with a seat at the United Nations. It flooded our streets with narcotics, weaponized mass migration to fracture our borders, and opened the gates of the Americas to our worst enemies.
