@royolnews: Los Angeles, CA January 3, 2026 Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon for an emergency “No War on Venezuela” protest, condemning the U.S. military strikes that led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife earlier that day. Organized by groups including the ANSWER Coalition and DSA Los Angeles, the rally began around 2:00pm amid rainy conditions. Protesters carried signs reading “No War on Venezuela,” “Hands Off Latin America,” and “No Blood for Oil,” while chanting demands to end what they described as an illegal U.S. intervention and occupation. Speakers accused the Trump administration of imperialism aimed at seizing Venezuela’s oil resources, citing longstanding drug-trafficking allegations as a pretext. “This is a blatant violation of sovereignty,” one organizer said. “The U.S. has no right to bomb and kidnap a nation’s leader.” The demonstration was part of a nationwide wave of emergency protests in cities like New York, Washington D.C., Seattle, and Chicago, following the pre-dawn U.S. operation that involved airstrikes on Venezuelan targets and the extraction of Maduro to face charges in New York. 🎥: @benhanson.photos See more local news on Royolnews.com // #losangeles #protest #royolnews #dtla #breakingnews
