I didn't dig in further, but I know funding bills will always contain tons of shit, and they are always a compromise. But the definition of "national security" used here is *mostly* less bad than what most people are thinking of, i.e. it's neither DHS nor DoD, which are yet to pass.

www.congress.gov/crs-appropri...
and
www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
These are the budget bills to avoid a gov shutdown. This one does not cover Defense.

Also: the legal premise for capturing Maduro was crimes against the US, and not recognizing him as President, thus making him no more than a fugitive in a foreign country, similar to bin Laden. The same can apply to Rodríguez.

Maduro overthrow in oil-rich Venezuela unlikely to shake energy markets in the near term
While Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserves, its oil production is relatively small.
