Instead, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has claimed that the administration was engaged in a law enforcement action that did not require the approval of Congress.

It wasn’t necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn’t occupy a county. This was an arrest operation. This was a law enforcement operation. He was arrested on the ground in Venezuela by FBI agents, red as right, and removed form the country.
Have you — I encourage everyone — I know it’s Sunday, people are busy, but I — you know, the indictments have now been unsealed. People should read this indictment. They should read this indictment. They should read what this man did for 15 — the last 15 years of his life against the United States. Him and his wife. He was arrested.
This justification was baseless gibberish because the military invaded another country.
The good news is that there is something that can be done.
