But people would resist, like the family members of the disappeared — the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo. They have marched for five decades to demand justice and the return of their children and grandchildren, alive.

On January 3, 2026, the United States invaded Venezuela and kidnapped president Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. It was the first US invasion of a Latin American country since the 1989 invasion of Panama. 

The United States fired missiles and bombs that blew out windows and hit residential apartment blocks. Helicopters. Explosions. Firebombs. They cut electricity. They destroyed a medical supplies warehouse. Testimonies say helicopters fired on innocent people. They traumatized thousands, if not millions, of Venezuelans.

The aftermath for everyday Venezuelans has been completely ignored. The voices of those on the ground—the voices of the victims—have been largely silenced in the international press and then forgotten as the news cycle hurtles on and our attention shifts elsewhere—to Greenland, Minneapolis, Iran, Gaza, or whatever Trump happens to be blustering about on social media.

We head to Caracas to speak to people who experienced the invasion firsthand, whether sheltered in place in their homes or running for their lives in the streets of their city. We’ll hear their stories of Trump’s “impressive” attack, their messages for the US, and how they’ve promised to resist the ongoing attack on their sovereignty.

Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present. Season 2 responds in real time to the Trump administration’s onslaught on Latin America.
