In the suburb of Doral, Florida, a city about 15 miles west of Miami, that is home to more Venezuelan immigrants than any other city in the US, affectionately known as “Doralzuela,” the celebrations over Maduro’s capture began in the predawn hours. “Justice is being served for all the Venezuelans who left our country,” Kirvin Suarez told Reuters outside the restaurant. Millions of Venezuelans have left the country in the more than a quarter-century the ruling Chavismo movement has been entrenched in power. Many arrived in the US and other countries in recent years, others left their homeland more than 20 years ago. Silence can say many things,” a driver from eastern Caracas told CNN, asking not to be identified for security reasons.
