This seems important. CNN is reporting that the U.S. has seized the private plane of Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro in the Dominican Republic.

Seems like it.

Maduro won't be happy about this.

What jurisdiction does the US have in the DR?

Seizing the plane of a foreign head of state seems to be a rare occurance.

I wonder who made the call? Likely not the Prez or VP

Exclusive: the US seizes Venezuala Pres Maduro’s plane, and it has just landed in Florida, reporting from ⁦@priscialva⁩. https://t.co/bTyvuU3Vor

The plane is in Florida.

As of right now -- nothing is posted on the official White House, POTUS, or VP accounts. Given that it's a holiday, not surprising.

But we'd like to know who made this call and why.

We'll keep you updated.
