Trump just nominated Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao for the permanent role. But comments from 2023 are resurfacing, including Cao falsely claiming the Monterey, California, area was 'overrun by witchcraft' and suggesting Virginia needs to stay Christian.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.
