Revelers chanted “liberty” and draped Venezuelan flags over their shoulders in South Florida on Saturday to celebrate the American military attack that toppled Nicolás Maduro’s government. It was a stunning outcome they had longed for but left them wondering what comes next in their homeland. People gathered for a rally in Doral, Florida, as word spread that Venezuela’s president was captured and flown out of the country. Doral is the Miami suburb where President Donald Trump has a golf resort and roughly half the population is of Venezuela descent. Outside a restaurant, one man held a piece of cardboard with “Libertad” scrawled with a marker. It's a sentiment expressed by other native Venezuelans hoping for a new beginning for their home country.
