18 NOV 25 SITREP

• President Donald Trump stated publicly that he will not rule out deploying United States forces directly into Venezuelan territory, stressing that Maduro’s internal security forces, foreign aligned advisers, and organized criminal elements have created conditions the United States considers destabilizing for the entire region.
• Approximately fifteen thousand United States military personnel are already stationed throughout the Caribbean region, including units positioned near strategic maritime corridors used by Venezuelan authorities and affiliated narcotics networks, enabling rapid response and surveillance operations.
• The USS Gerald Ford, the largest and most advanced aircraft carrier in the world, arrived in the Caribbean with its full air wing, intelligence systems, and logistical support capabilities, significantly increasing United States reach over Venezuelan coastal approaches and regional flight paths.
• The United States government announced plans to classify the Cartel de los Soles, an organization linked to senior figures inside Nicolás Maduro’s regime, as a foreign terrorist organization due to its role in cross border narcotics trafficking, protection networks for corrupt officials, and cooperation with foreign intelligence partners hostile to the United States.

• A federal appeals court in Ohio ruled that a school district violated students’ constitutional protections by attempting to discipline students who refused to use pronouns demanded by another student.

• The ruling clarified that public schools must respect viewpoint differences among students concerning gender related language and cannot impose punitive measures for refusal to adopt specific terminology.
• The decision sets a precedent likely to influence future cases involving compelled ideological expression inside classrooms across Ohio and potentially other jurisdictions.

• The push for full public release highlights a growing belief that institutional failures surrounding Epstein’s activities must be exposed rather than shielded behind redactions or procedural delays.

The demand now is simple: no more secrecy, no more coercion, and no more protection for anyone who abused
