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.
